4FOREWORD BY MINISTERThe highlight of the year under review for the construction industry in South Africawas the hosting of <strong>2010</strong> FIFA World Cup. As a country, not only did we embracethe gathering of nations on our shores, but we also embraced a golden opportunityto stand as a beacon of hope and support for the construction industry during aperiod of uncertain global economic performance. The unprecedented demandfor infrastructure linked to the <strong>2010</strong> FIFA World Cup demanded technicalexpertise during the period when we were faced with an acute shortage of skills.It also demanded that we deliver the required infrastructure under the given tightdeadlines without a streamlined procurement system for the construction industry.In this regard, as the Minister for Public Works, I am deeply indebted to theConstruction Industry Development Board (cidb), the host cities, the builtenvironment professions and contractors for a spectacular performance. The rolethat they played is indeed testimony to the fact that together we can build bettercommunities.We were hoping that the positive effects of the demand for infrastructure wouldlead to many years of growth in our economy. But the South African constructionindustry is now faced with a sustainability challenge based on a world-wideeconomic downturn as well as our own country specific problems. The futureof the industry and how through focused infrastructural development we canrevitalize our economy requires renewed critical analysis.CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT BOARDThere is overwhelming evidence that numerous construction companies havebeen forced to close down due to the difficult operating environment. Paymentdelays and poor project implementation have imposed an unpleasant climate formainly small businesses. It is unacceptable that we are failing to roll out approvedprojects. It is also unacceptable for us to return unutilised funds to the fiscus at atime when the job creation agenda of government is of the essence. The role of thecidb with the Department of Public Works in reversing a decline in the constructionindustry is urgent. This must include amending regulations aimed at improving theregistration criteria to remove unnecessary bottlenecks in the registration processas well as improving efficiency and integrity of the Register of Contractors. Thesignificance of supporting emerging contractors and transforming the industry inthis regard cannot be over-emphasized.


5The <strong>2010</strong> FIFAWorld Cup wasa golden opportunityfor South AfricaI am pleased that the cidb has again achieved an unqualified audit report. In this regard I wish to congratulate the Board,management and staff for this achievement. All areas that the Auditor-General has highlighted as requiring attention must beresolved before the end of the financial year <strong>2011</strong>/12 and the next external audit.I take this opportunity to thank the outgoing Board whose term ended in December, for providing the required guidance andleadership not only to the cidb but the construction industry at large.I thank the CEO for holding the fort while there was no Board, effectively acting as Accounting Authority until the new Board wasappointed. In the same spirit I welcome the new Board with the hope that the members will harness their expertise for the goodof the industry, providing the required leadership and guiding the cidb to deliver on its mandate.GL Mahlangu-Nkabinde, (MP)Minister of Public WorksDate:ANNUAL REPORT <strong>2010</strong>/11

10TRAINING AND CONTRACTOR DEVELOPMENTIt was reported last year that training and contractor development were not prioritised by those mandated to do so. The cidb wastherefore requested to play a role, beyond its mandate, to improve performance in this area. The cidb has therefore decidedto facilitate training through various interventions, including injecting funding for strategic training opportunities. ContractorDevelopment has been recommended for consideration as a national priority. In this regard a Steering Committee has beenformed between the cidb and the national Department of Public Works. Provinces have been selected for progressive inclusionregarding improved reporting on all contractor development opportunities, implemented through the framework for the NationalContractor Development Programme (NCDP). The consultative process with MECs and HoDs and senior management in theidentified provinces has been very positive.The cidb has undertaken an initiative to expand the training and development of contractors by considering overseasopportunities, sharing of information with regional partners as well as identifying and partner with tertiary institutions in South Africa.The South African/German initiative has been pursued with the intention of sourcing funding and signing an MoU with the Germancounterparts. This is to be supported by our respective government’s bilateral agreements. The cidb has undertaken a numberof trips in the SADC region and hosted visitors from SADC countries that wanted to partner with the cidb on issues of commoninterest. The cidb has also supported the graduation ceremonies in the Limpopo and Western Cape provinces for the ESKOMtraining programme and sponsored training through the University of Fort Hare.REVIEW OF THE REGISTRATION CRITERIAThe cidb has finalised its consultative process to improve the registration criteria. The details of the proposed amendmentsprepared for this purpose have been packaged for easy understanding. A Practice Note has been developed to clarify thechanged position where contractors are not required to submit the names of registered professionals at the point of registration.A submission is due to be made to the Minister to take to the next step of publishing the proposed amendments for publiccomments.IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF THE REGISTER OF CONTRACTORSCONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT BOARDThe registration software re-write and the Electronic Document Management System (EDMS) have been approved and are beingimplemented over a three year period. The new registration software will provide a flexible platform to accommodate futureregisters and other improvements.INDUSTRY PERFORMANCE AND BEST PRACTICEThe various components of the Best Practice Contractor Recognition Scheme and Best Practice Project Assessment Schemeare at various stages of piloting. The Best Practice Schemes will usher in a new approach to how quality, health & safety and theenvironment will be dealt with in future.


12unit late in 2008. The unit has been restructured, training has been provided to employees responsible in the area and professionalsupport has been used to identify weak links and apply corrective measures holistically. Old contracts have been terminatedand new ones implemented in accordance with Treasury regulations. New policies and procedures have been implemented.Performance information has also received special attention. Training has been provided over two years to designated managersto use the SMART approach and improvements have been noted in the revised targets and the targets for the year <strong>2011</strong>/12.Unfortunately, there was no response on the approval of the revised targets for the year under review. The targets audited werebased on the original set developed during the training phase, which is historical.These areas have been noted by the Auditor-General as requiring attention. The cidb wishes to confirm that the previous Boardwas appraised on the work that was being done in these areas and that the findings noted were not due to the Board’s lackof oversight. A clear, long-term strategy of analysing and improving these areas has been implemented for future sustainableresults.IMPROVING COMMUNICATION WITH STAKEHOLDERSThe last annual National Stakeholder Forum was held in October <strong>2010</strong>. It was followed, as usual, by the now established ProvincialStakeholder Workshops. These Provincial Stakeholder Workshops are intended to reach out to a broader audience of stakeholders.Again it proved to be successful. Only two provinces have not convened workshops; communication with the relevant MECs toreschedule the Stakeholder Workshops in their provinces is progressing well.CELEBRATING THE 10 TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE cidbThe cidb was established in November 2001 when the first CEO was appointed. It is therefore an opportunity for the cidb toin the celebrate its first ten years and host various awareness campaigns to share achievements over the first ten years withstakeholders. A programme of action is being drawn up to culminate in the second independent review of the cidb early in2012.SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND STAFF MOTIVATIONThe cidb has again participated in National Construction Week, an initiative of the Department of Public Works, through the“Youth in Construction”. The cidb works with various stakeholders in coordinating activities that expose secondary school learnersto the construction industry.CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT BOARD


13ESTABLISHMENT OF THE LAST CONSTRUCTION CONTACT CENTRE – NORTH WESTThe cidb provincial office in North West (NW) is almost complete and will be officially opened in due course. This will complete atotal of nine cidb provincial offices established under the negotiated agreements in which the provincial departments of PublicWorks provide premises where the cidb can offer its services.REGISTER OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES PROVIDERS (RoPSP)The Board, in its meeting on 7 December <strong>2010</strong>, approved the piloting of the RoPSP as an approach to demonstrate how thisregister could work. The timelines and initial framework for this register are being developed for presentation and approval bythe Board.CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND ACCOUNTING AUTHORITY OVERSIGHTThe term of the third Board ended on 12 December <strong>2010</strong>. The delay in the appointment of the fourth Board resulted in the entityoperating without a Board from the middle of December through to the end of March <strong>2011</strong>. The CEO acted as the AccountingAuthority during this period, using the PFMA Section 49 (2)(b) as a basis for this. The cidb obtained the Minister’s concurrence onthis position and the Auditor-General was advised accordingly.SPECIAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSOn behalf of cidb Management and staff, I wish to acknowledge the solid support of the outgoing Board, under the leadershipof its Chairperson, Professor Raymond Nkado. The term of the Board ended on 12 December <strong>2010</strong>.A new Board, led by Mr Bafana Ndendwa as Chairperson, has been appointed. I take this opportunity to wish the new Boardsuccess in the execution of its responsibilities.I also wish thank the Minister of Public Works, Minister Gwen Mahlangu-Nkabinde, her Deputy, Hendrietta Bogopane-Zulu, theirstaff and Senior Management and Staff in the Department for their support.Ronnie KhozaChief Executive OfficerANNUAL REPORT <strong>2010</strong>/11

40THE CONSTRUCTIONREGISTERS SERVICETHE CONSTRUCTION REGISTERS SERVICEThe Register of Contractors and the Register of Projects have been established interms of the Construction Industry Development Board Act, Act 38 of 2000. TheRegister of Contractors grades and categorises contractors according to financialand works capability. It is mandatory for public sector clients to apply the registerwhen considering construction works tenders. The Register of Contractors facilitatespublic sector procurement and promotes contractor development.The Register of Projects gathers information on the nature, value and distributionof projects. When clients register projects, the track records of contractors areupdated and the information is available to other clients through the cidb website.The cidb has embarked on an accelerated drive to improve client compliancewith the application of the Registers. This will also form the basis for drivingperformance improvement through project close out reports. Public sector clientsare required to register projects above R200,000 while private sector clients andlarge state owned entities are required to register projects above R10 million.The cidb has also developed the free i-Tender service which enables clients toadvertise tenders on the cidb website. The i-Tender service automatically alertsregistered contractors of tender opportunities by email and sms. Tenders arealso displayed on the cidb website. Compliance with legislative requirementsto Register of Projects is made easy for clients who convert the same tenderinformation after award and add basic additional ‘post award’ information.CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT BOARDBy 31 March <strong>2011</strong>, there were 6,803 projects registered and 9,766 tendersadvertised. The number of tender notifications distributed increased to 3,327,683by the end of March <strong>2011</strong>. A total of 81,856 contractors have received notificationsof tender opportunities through the i-Tender service.


41An accelerated drive toimprove client compliancewith the application ofthe Registers.Growth in the Register of Contractors has continued in the year under review with a total of 99,421 Grade 1 Contractors registeredand 13,749 Grade 2 to 9 Contractors registered by 31 March <strong>2011</strong>.

42A comprehensive review process of the criteria for registration on the Register of Contractors was undertaken. Therange of proposed improvements includes a reduction in the qualifying Track Record values and <strong>Annual</strong> Turnoverrequirements, an emphasis on the combination of both financial capacity and also track record (as opposed to theconsideration of Available Capital only), removal of the requirement for contractors to have professional resourcesin their employ at the time of registration with the cidb, provision for the Minister to publish revised tender value limitadjustments and other improvements. It is envisaged that the Regulations will be published for public comment before30 September <strong>2011</strong>.Information from the cidb Quaterly Monitor is included in Chart 2 below and shows the total number of registrations in the GeneralBuilding (GB) and Civil Engineering (CE) classes of works for the past three years. It is seen that there has been a slight increasein the number of registrations for the first quarter of <strong>2011</strong>. Furthermore, there has been a consistent increase in the number ofregistrations in Grades 5 and 6 and above.The application of best practice Business Process Management (BPM) methodologies coupled with skilled and committedpersonnel has ensured that the cidb meets its commitment to stakeholders by providing an efficient registrations service.Compliant applications are processed within 21 working days. Potential backlogs are identified early and resolved. The approachis to get it right the first time with quality assurance processes in place.A dedicated training function has been established to ensure that all cidb registrations personnel are knowledgeable onregistration requirements and processes. Registration services are offered at the cidb provincial offices and at the cidb headOffice. The entry level Grade 1 applications are processed ‘over the counter’ with registrations activated within a period of 48hours.The registration software systems are being redesigned to provide for seamless processing activities between the cidb HeadOffice and the Provincial Partnered Offices. This new system will include electronic document management which will bothreduce the turnaround time in processing applications and also increase the integrity of the registrations process. The projectcommenced on the 28th January <strong>2011</strong> with implementation planned for September <strong>2011</strong> onwards.The new system will provide better access to information inside the organisation, reduce the risk of fraud and corruption, increaseefficiency and productivity, improve data validation functions, improve user interfaces, allow for better integration and greaterflexibility in business processes.Chart 2: Number of Registrations 2008 Quarter 1 to <strong>2011</strong> Quarter 2CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT BOARD


43STATISTICS FROM THE REGISTER OF CONTRACTORSInformation from the Construction Registers Service is used to direct development interventions and inform procurement strategy.This information is accessible to the public on the cidb website, www.cidb.org.za.

48PUBLIC SECTOR PROCUREMENTAND DELIVERY MANAGEMENTAmendment to the grading criteria for the Register ofContractors.The Procurement and Delivery Programme is custodian to the development,maintenance and implementation of the cidb, Regulations and prescripts.cidb workshops and the National Stakeholder Forum provide valuable feedbackon the cidb Regulations. Feedback is analysed and necessary amendmentsprioritised. The following draft amendments to Part 11 of the (Register of Contractors)were submitted to the Minister of Public Works for consideration and gazetting forpublic comment:The following challenges with proposed amendments have been documentedfor Part 11 (Register of Contractors) and submitted to the Minister of Public Worksfor approval to gazette for public comment:Qualified PersonsIt has been recommended that the requirement for contractors to have qualifiedpersons (commonly referred to as registered professionals) in their employbe removed. Contractors will not be required to provide proof of registeredprofessionals at cidb registration stage.Clients will be required to determine the resource requirements on a ‘project byproject’ basis based on the scope of work, the complexity and the size of theproject. The cidb has drafted a Practice Note to coincide with the implementationof this amendment.CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT BOARD<strong>Annual</strong> TurnoverIt has been recommended that annual turnover qualifying values be reduced.<strong>Annual</strong> Turnover is a measure that is easy to verify as the information is providedin the financial statements of the enterprise. It should be noted that there is no<strong>Annual</strong> Turnover requirement at Grades 1 and 2. At Grades 3 and 4 there isflexibility in terms of financial capacity as contractors are allowed to meet eitherthe <strong>Annual</strong> Turnover or Available Capital requirements. At Grade 5 and aboveboth the <strong>Annual</strong> Turnover and Available Capital are required.


49Contract (Track Record)It has been recommended that annual the largest project completed to be reduced as follows (values rounded):GRADEUPPER LIMIT OFTENDER VALUE RANGECURRENT VALUESLARGEST CONTRACT(25 & OF UPPER LIMIT OFTENDER VALUE RANGE)REDUCED VALUESLARGEST CONTRACT (22.5% OFUPPER LIMIT OF TENDER VALUERANGE. 20 % FOR GRADE 2)2 650,000 R 150 000 R 130 0003 2,000,000 R 500 000 R 450 0004 4,000,000 R 1000 000 R 900 0005 6,500,000 R 1 600 000 R 1 500 0006 13,000,000 R 3 250 000 R 3 000 0007 40,000,000 R 10 000 000 R 9 000 0008 130,000,000 R 32 500 000 R 30 000 0009 400,000,000 R 100 000 000 R 90 000 000<strong>Annual</strong> Tender Value Limit AdjustmentThe Regulations have made provision for the Minister, in consultation with the cidb, to publish tender value limit adjustments (atleast once in three years but may publish annually depending on the market conditions) with proportional registration criteriaadjustments. This is to be done on a set date each year and based on the principles of ‘inflation and market conditions’.Method BThe Method B registration option essentially provides a mechanism for enterprises with large financial capacity to obtain highgrades without having any track record. Feedback was received by large public sector clients on poor delivery by contractors.Contractors are awarded tenders but do not have any experience in the Class of Works under consideration. Bona fidecontractors have also raised the issue of losing out to ‘contractors’ who have no experience and track record.The Method B registration option has accordingly been deleted from the regulations.ANNUAL REPORT <strong>2010</strong>/11


50Transfer of RecordsRegulation 11(4) provides for the transfer of records from one contractor to another contractor and treated as if it were the sameentity for the purpose of assessment under various cases such as the amalgamation of companies.As a measure to cater for legitimate cases where companies want to register but cannot meet the required criteria in the nameof the enterprise, it is further recommended that Regulation 11(4) (manner of determination of contractor grading designation)be extended to include the transfer of records from one contractor to another in the case of an incorporated company whollyowned by a cidb Registered company(‘s) and cidb registered companies setting up subsidiaries.Joint Venture CalculationThe Regulations provide for joint ventures to submit tender offers or expressions of interest if every member of the joint venture is aregistered contractor in terms of the Regulations and the lead partner has a contractor grading designation in the Class of Workunder consideration, and possesses the required recognition status. The calculator sums the financial and works capabilities ofthe individual joint venture partners.A problem is that contractors and clients are effectively bypassing the ‘lead partner’ rule in that bigger contractors are placingsmaller, often Grade 1 and 2, contractors as the lead partner in order to satisfy the requirement that the lead partner is registeredin the relevant Class of Work e.g. Mechanical Engineering.It has accordingly been recommended that the lead partner must hold a Contractor Grading Designation not more than onelevel (tender value limit) below the required grade.CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT BOARD


51Way forwardOnce the public comment phase is closed, the cidb will collate all comment and prepare a final submission to the Ministerof Public Works for approval. Once approved, the necessary changes will be effected and the regulations will be republished.ANNUAL REPORT <strong>2010</strong>/11


52Compliance and enforcement of cidb legislationThe cidb Regulations are mandatory for all public sector infrastructure clients. However poor levels of compliance with the cidbRegulations have been noted in the following areas:1. Advertising of tenders on the i-Tender system.2. Recording of project award, construction and close out of a project on the Register of Projects.3. Application of the cidb Standard for Uniformity.4. Layout of the tender specification.5. Matching projects with the contractor grades as a result of a poorly written scope of work and incorrect estimates.6. Project specific quality and eligibility criteria.7. Applying well-constructed procurement strategy to promote government’s social agenda.8. Adherence to the requirements of the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act and the Supply Chain ManagementGuidelines as prescribed by the National Treasury.The cidb has implemented a strategy to monitor and enforce regulations as a result of high levels of non-compliance. Thefundamental principles of this initiative are:a. To educate public sector clients on the legislative requirements by hosting training and awareness campaigns.b. To create awareness of the cidb Code of Conduct for all parties involved in construction procurement.c. To widely communicate the cidb Anonymous Fraudline to promote reporting of fraudulent, unethical and corrupt practicesand to discourage fraud by advertising penalties imposed.d. To record, investigate and take action where necessary.e. Develop strategic partnerships in the promotion of procurement compliance.The cidb has partnered with the office of the Auditor-General, Competition Commission, Special Investigation Unit, academicinstitutions and various voluntary associations such as CESA, SAFCEC, MBSA to promote compliance with procurement regulations.To this effect the cidb has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with CESA.The cidb has appointed two companies of forensic investigators to audit and investigate non compliance by both the contractorsand clients and to initiate hearings in terms of Part V of the Construction Industry Development Regulations.Chart 4: Categories of investigations conducted under the Register of ContractorsCONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT BOARDFinancial StatementsTrack RecordProfessionalsTax Clearance CertificatesCorrupt Paymentscidb CertificatePE StatusNon-Compliance

The programme isprimarily aimed at improving performance and the rate of delivery of infrastructure projects at a provincial level, whilst facilitatingthe spending of allocated infrastructure budgets by provincial clients. A key focus is on improving infrastructure planning, aligninginfrastructure delivery and budgeting cycles, and refining roles and responsibilities of the client and implementing agents.Table 3 below compares the consolidated sectoral provincial infrastructure budgets and expenditure trends for the third quarterof 2009/10 and <strong>2010</strong>/11.Table 3: Consolidated sectoral provincial infrastructure budgets and expenditure trends – y/y comparisons2009/10 <strong>2010</strong>/11SECTORADJUSTEDBUDGET(R ‘000)EXPENDITUREAS AT 31DECEMBER2009(R ‘000)%ACTUALVSBUDGET(%)ADJUSTEDBUDGET(R ‘000)EXPENDITUREAS AT 31DECEMBER<strong>2010</strong>(R ‘000)%ACTUALVSBUDGET(%)% BUDGETGROWTH:Y/Y(%)%EXpenDitureGROWTH:Y/Y(%)Education 5 598 637 4 685 892 83,7% 7 287 397 3 648 658 50,1% 30,2% (22,1%)Health 7 770 835 4 884 399 62,9% 8 938 595 4 649 982 52,0% 15,0% (4,8%)Total 13 369 472 9 570 291 71,6% 16 225 992 8 298 640 51,1% 21,4% (13,3%)SOURCE – INFRASTRUCTURE REPORTING MODEL (IRM)The budget growth trends per sector show that the Health budget has grown by 15% between the third quarters of 2009/10 and<strong>2010</strong>/11 financial years followed by Education at 30.20%. Health and Education reflect negative growth in expenditure of 4.8%and 22.1% respectively across 2009/10 and <strong>2010</strong>/11 financial years. Comparative analysis across sectors shows that Educationspent 50.10% of its allocated budget by the end of the third quarter <strong>2010</strong>/11 financial year. Over the same period Health spent52% of its infrastructure budget respectively. The slow spending in Health relates to late awarding of tenders, poor performanceby contractors, capacity of Implementing Agents to deliver and late payments of certificates.IDIP has continued to make a positive impact in the delivery of infrastructure by the Provincial Departments of Education, Healthand Public Works. Phase 2 of IDIP ended on 31 March <strong>2010</strong>.ANNUAL REPORT <strong>2010</strong>/11


54IDIP Phase 3 commenced in April <strong>2010</strong>. It adopts a different model for the mobilisation and utilisation of experts to the modelthat was used in Phase 2. During Phase 2 companies were appointed to provide the technical assistance teams to the provincesbut in Phase 3 individual experts are contracted directly or through their parent companies. This does not only contribute tosignificant cost savings but it provides more direct management control to officials over the experts. Four Long Term TechnicalAssistants (LTAs) are deployed to each province and they are based in the Provincial Treasury Provincial Departments of Health,Education and Public Works. It is required in each province for the LTAs to operate as a multi- disciplinary team that works closelywith and report to government officials, thereby enabling transfer of skills. Phase 3 is focused on the implementation of theInfrastructure Delivery Management Toolkit. Consequently it aims to support the following five Outputs during the next three years:• Effective functioning of the institutional arrangements and enabling environment for infrastructure delivery• Improved infrastructure planning, budgeting, maintenance and programme management• Improved Infrastructure procurement systems and practices• Improved infrastructure delivery skills• Effective management of IDIP.The Infrastructure Delivery Improvement Programme (IDIP) ToolkitThe Construction Industry Development Board in conjunction with National Treasury, Department of Public Works and theDevelopment Bank of Southern Africa are delighted to announce that the third edition of the Infrastructure Delivery ManagementToolkit (IDMT) has been published on the cidb website.The purpose of the IDMT is depicted as follows:• Provides a documented body of knowledge and set of processes that represent generally recognised best practices in thedelivery management of infrastructure• Focussed on the delivery and life cycle management of South African public sector infrastructure• Includes information applicable to both technical and nontechnical managers• Provides “how to” guidelines for infrastructure delivery and procurement management that are necessary to deliver, operateand maintain infrastructure• Helps to capacitate managers• Facilitates a uniform approach to infrastructure delivery management• Assist the public sector to demonstrate compliance with the applicable legislative requirements.The <strong>2010</strong> edition introduces significant updates and amendments to the previous edition. It caters for:• A modernised approach to procurement• Greater emphasis on Portfolio Management• Readiness for local government• Alignment to the requirements of the Government Immovable Asset Management Act, No.19 of 2007.• Additional modules to provide an expanded body of knowledge in strategy, construction procurement strategy andperformance management.The application is based on modern technology and has a web (cidb website) based navigation tool for users to navigatethrough the delivery processes, practice guides and their associated supporting documents.CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT BOARD

56Delays in paymentsThe cidb through its partnership programme, Infrastructure Delivery Improvement Programme (IDIP) identified delayed paymentto contractors as one of the main blockages to infrastructure delivery in the construction industry. Practice Note 19 issued in June2009 reviewed the three phases of the payment cycle, namely the certification, authorisation, processing and also examinedthe flow of funds between the client departments and the implementing agents. The Practice Note has had minimal impact onpublic sector clients, and the issue of delays in payments remains as one of the crippling constraints to effective infrastructuredelivery.The cidb hosted a workshop on 28 September <strong>2010</strong> at the Reserve Bank Conference Centre to promote consultation withindustry stakeholder for the development of an all-encompassing strategy to enable prompt payment for all service providersresponsible for delivering construction projects. Participants of this workshop supported the following recommendations:• That the cidb examine its authority to introduce regulation permitted by its Act on this matter• That further research be undertaken on the continued lack of understanding in industry regarding payment events, especiallyregarding disputes and related adjudication provisions• That further action could entail the “naming and shaming” of especially serial defaulting payers• The possible introduction of construction legislation of greater influence such as the Housing Act of the UK or similar legislationin Singapore, which includes security of payment but also covers compulsory adjudication and eases the enforcement ofadjudication decisions.In April <strong>2011</strong>, the cidb commenced with a literature review to:1. Investigate the legal remedies available to the South African building and civil engineering contractors and consultants toenforce their right of payment for work completed or services performed2. To determine the effectiveness of said remedies and the enforcement thereof and3. Suggest possible solutions on how to improve current payment practices in the South African building and constructionindustry.An Industry Work <strong>Group</strong> will be established for consultation on the outcomes proposed by the research findings.Infrastructure Gateway System (IGS)Virtually all public sector infrastructure projects are delivered using a traditional preplanned, non-integrated procurementapproach. In terms of this approach, each project is typically executed as a single contract, or may be broken down intosmaller contracts allocated to small and emerging contractors. Contractors would price and construct infrastructure on the basisof designs prepared under the direction of departments and municipalities or their agents.Previously, organs of state had their own internal design, construction and maintenance resources that were capable ofdesigning, constructing and maintaining public infrastructure. These functions were only outsourced to the private sector whereinsufficient capacity existed. Over time, this internal capacity has been eroded. Today most of these functions are outsourcedto the private sector, with the design and project management functions typically being outsourced on a discipline specificbasis and rarely on a consortium basis. Consultants are appointed at the inception of a project and are required to scope theproject and to develop the project brief.CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT BOARDThe traditional approach to infrastructure delivery works best when an organ of state has sufficient in-house capability andcapacity to oversee the design process resulting in the design and associated documentation being completed before tendersare invited. The current reality is that while organs of state continue to adopt the traditional approach to deliver their infrastructureprojects, they have severe difficulty in attracting and retaining suitably qualified staff to manage the project process. Manymultidisciplinary consulting teams involved in the delivery of building projects rarely have completed designs at the time that thecontractor is appointed, resulting in poor project outcomes.For this reason, there is a dire need to consider alternative options for delivery and maintenance of the much needed publicsector infrastructure. Simultaneously, tighter controls are required to align infrastructure investment to the social and economicdevelopment agenda of government to ensure value for money. In addition, there are many challenges, risks and opportunitiesfor government in delivering the required quantum of public infrastructure in an efficient and effective manner.


57In response to these national imperatives, the cidb has developed an Infrastructure Gateway System which has been embeddedin the upgrade to the cidb Toolkit. The <strong>2010</strong> IDMT caters for infrastructure projects from concept through to delivery, maintenanceand where, necessary the decommissioning of the asset, thus incorporating all aspects of life cycle management of an asset.The Gateway System provides for a number of control points (approval gates) in the asset life cycle where a decision is requiredbefore proceeding from one phase or sub-phase to another. An informed decision at each gate will provide the assurance thata project:• Remains within agreed mandates• Aligns with the purpose for which it was conceived; and• Can progress successfully from one phase to the next.More importantly, the approval gates minimise the project risk to the limitations of the capability of a client to control its risk, whilstimproving governance, accountability and oversight in the infrastructure delivery process.The Infrastructure Gateway System comprises four planning phases (infrastructure planning, procurement planning, packagepreparation and package solution) and a number of implementation phases. The deliverables at the end of the each of theplanning phases are:• An infrastructure plan which identifies long term needs and links prioritised needs to a forecasted budget for the next fiveyears• A procurement strategy for implementing the infrastructure plan in the medium term• A strategic brief setting out the package information and• A report setting out the integrated concept for the package ensures that projects are developed not only in accordance withlegislative requirements but also embrace best procurement and delivery management practices in their implementation.The implementation gates ensure that the design is developed in line with the integrated concept for the package using arange of contracting strategies (i.e. design by employer, develop and construct and design and construct) and the necessaryinformation is obtained soon after the completion of the works.The information upon which a decision is based at a gate and the decisions made can be audited to ensure that projectsremain within a Client’s mandate, are equitable and realise value for money. The opportunity to audit the life cycle of projectsalso:• Improves transparency which reduces opportunity for mismanagement and corruption in planning and implementation;• Enables the procurement strategy adopted for a sector or a package to be reviewed and improved upon when deliveringsimilar future projects• Enables post implementation reviews to take place to examine whether planned benefits are achieved and risks are beingeffectively managed; and• Removes perverse incentives relating to the promotion of one project or a solution over another.ANNUAL REPORT <strong>2010</strong>/11


58Procurement ReformRegister of Professional Service Providers (RoPSP)The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, determines as a basic human right that every person is free to choosea trade, occupation or profession, but that the trade, occupation or profession may be regulated by law. In addition, theConstitution determines as a basic right for every person to live in an environment that is not harmful to his or her healthor well-being and an environment protected, for the benefit of present and future generations. Against this background,government has promulgated the built environment legislation, regulating the professions and determining the need for everybuilt environment professional to be registered with a Council for the Professions. It is therefore essential that those professionalservice providers who provide construction related services to organs of state are registered with the relevant statutory councilsor if not so registered, perform work under the direction of such persons.Section 5(2)g of the cidb Act empowers the Board to establish and maintain a Register of Suppliers, Manufacturers or ServiceProviders. In this regard, the Board has decided to establish a Register for Professional Service Providers (RoPSP) to assist organs ofstate in the procurement of appropriately qualified built environment professionals.On infrastructure projects, professional services are required to plan, budget, conduct condition assessments of existinginfrastructure, scope requirements in response to the owner or operator’s brief, propose solutions, evaluate alternative solutions,develop the design for the selected solution, produce production information enabling construction, confirm that design intentis met during construction, manage programmes and projects, prepare procurement documents, administer contracts andadjudicate disputes.Decisions made during the design stage of a project can have a major impact on the service life, the usefulness, the performanceand the life cycle costs of construction works. It is accordingly imperative that the professional service provider appointed todesign construction works has the necessary expertise and, most importantly, experience to provide the required knowledgebased services. It is also essential for professional service providers to have not only the capability to perform a service but alsothe resources and internal management systems to provide such service to the required quality within the time frames set by theclient. The appointment of under-qualified, under-experienced and under-resourced service providers has led to fruitless andwasteful expenditure and the compromising of service delivery on public sector projects.The cidb’s mandate is to provide strategic leadership, to promote sustainable growth, improved procurement and deliverymanagement, improved performance and best practice, and to develop systematic methods for monitoring and regulatingthe performance of the industry and its stakeholders. The Register of Contractors is applied whenever a contractor is appointed,with or without design responsibilities to provide construction works (i.e. irrespective of the contracting strategy). The award ofa contract triggers the population of the Register of Projects. The reporting on the completion of a project triggers aspects ofthe Register of Contractor’s Best Practice Recognition Scheme. The Register of Professional Service Providers can be applied inthe procurement of professional service providers. The linking of the Register of Projects to the Register of Contractors and theRegister of Professional Service Providers enables information between the professional service and the product (constructionworks) to be linked e.g. quality and performance etc. It also allows the professional service to be linked to the constructionservice, e.g. cost, time overruns and disputes etc.Defects that manifest several years after completion e.g. a collapse of a roof, severe cracking in a building or a subsidence inthe earthworks, can be readily linked back to both the contractor and the professional.CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT BOARDThe integration of the cidb Registers, transforming the information obtained from the Registers into knowledge that will informgovernment expenditure in relation to infrastructure as well as economic planning for both the public and private sectors ispivotal to the success of the cidb in developing the construction industry.


59The development and implementation of a Register of Professional Service Providers will be approached in the following phases:PHASE DESCRIPTION EXPECTED PROCUREMENT RELATED OUTCOMESPhase 1:Establishment of abasic register categorisedin broadly defined practiceareas.Phase 2:Peer assessment of PSPscapabilities in narrowlydefined practice areas.Phase 3:Performance reportingafter completion of aconstruction works contract.Phase 4:Best practicerecognition schemeGather basic data of firmsoperating in broadly definedpractice areas.Records outcomes of peerassessment in a narrowly definedpractice area of:a) the quality of outputs;orb) the qualifications, experienceand contextual knowledge ofa registered person, enablingregistration in such practiceareas (process will be pilotedon adjudicators and thereafterexpanded to other areas).Records performance of PSPs indelivering a service.(process will be piloted)Records assessed abilities of a PSPto comply with or apply specifiedbest practices.Reduce risk by:• requiring services to be provided within a discipline tobe rendered under the supervision of a persons is inthe full time employ of a PSP and who is appropriatelyregistered with a statutory council;• establishing requirements for PSPs to maintainminimum levels of competencies in order to remainon the RoPSPs in a particular discipline;• providing a means for prohibiting PSPs and theirprincipals, if necessary, from contracting with a publicsector client for a period of time when they defaulton a contract, breach the registration conditions orbreach the cidb Code of Conduct for the PartiesEngaged in Construction Procurement; and• providing a means for identifying interlocking businessownerships through common principals which canlead to the detection of conflicts of interest or collusivepractices.Reduce risk by enabling an employer to identifyspecialist capabilities of PSPs.Reduces risk by identifying under-performers.Enables quality of service to be improved as employerwill have a means to include performance records in theevaluation of tenders.Reduces risk by enabling an employer to identify PSPswho are capable of delivering a service that satisfiesprescribed best practices.Enables quality of service to be improved as employerwill have a means to use of only those PSPs who havean assessed ability to deliver in terms of specific bestpractices.The cidb has commenced an investigation to develop Phase 1, and where possible, aspects of Phase 2. Piloting of the systemis estimated to be in February 2012.ANNUAL REPORT <strong>2010</strong>/11


60Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act (PPPFA)The Construction Industry Regulations, 2004, adheres to the principles of the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act(No.5 of 2000) and its Regulations published in 2001. Since 2004 the Minister of Public Works has made Regulations and the cidbhas issued subsidiary legislation (as authorised by the Regulations) referred to as the Standard for Uniformity. This Standard forUniformity promotes procurement reform in the construction industry.One of the four procurement standards promoted in the Standard for Uniformity refers to Method 4 which is a combinationof points for price, functionality (quality) and preference to arrive at the highest point scoring tender, in accordance with thePPPFA Regulations, 2001. The validity of Preferential Procurement Regulations 2001 relating to the evaluation of functionalityand price were challenged in the KwaZulu-Natal High Court, in Pietermaritzburg. The court found that “the word price doesnot include functionality and that they are entirely distinctive concepts.” and consequently ruled that some of the regulationsrelating to functionality were inconsistent with the Act and therefore declared them to be invalid. The cidb Method 4 has beencompromised by this court judgement, effectively ruling out a key mechanism used to determine the most economicallyadvantageous tender offer in the pursuance of the following key mandates of the cidb Act, which is to, amongst others:• Determine, establish and promote improved performance and best practice of public and private sector clients, contractorsand other participants in the construction delivery process; and• Promote uniform application of policy throughout all spheres of government and promote uniform and ethical standards,construction procurement reform, and improved procurement and delivery management – including a code of conduct.National Treasury has issued an Instruction Note to prescribe the use of functionality only as pre-qualification criteria i.e. tenderssatisfying the specifications and / or minimum levels of functionality are evaluated on the lowest price taking into accountequity considerations i.e. a preference. Of importance is that the Instruction Note permits tenders in the case of the constructionindustry to be evaluated in terms of the cidb prescripts (as provided for in the Supply Chain Management Regulations issuedin terms of the Public Finance Management Act of 1999 and the Local Government: Municipal Finance Management Act of2003).The approach adopted by National Treasury rules out the determination of the most economically advantageous offer. Thisapproach is suitable for non-construction procurement which deals in the main with direct acquisitions which involve standard,well defined and scoped services, off the shelf items and readily available commodities. Construction procurement differs inthat there is seldom the direct acquisition of infrastructure, professional services are required, as necessary, to plan and designthe works, the services are frequently performed on infrastructure that is in use. The risk of the unforeseen occurring during theperformance of the contract frequently leads to changes in the timing for the delivery of the works and the price agreed atthe time that contracts were awarded. The total cost of ownership over life span also needs to be considered. Accordingly,lowest price adjusted for a preference to meet a minimum standard, is appropriate only where projects are very well defined,are straight forward and have a low risk profile. There is accordingly a need in construction procurement to evaluate price andother factors which relate directly to the procurement in line with the Preferential Procurement Regulations 2001, prior to the courtjudgement.CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT BOARD


61The construction industry has recently begun to modernise its approach to delivery as depicted in the <strong>2010</strong> version of theInfrastructure Delivery Management Toolkit (IDMT) developed by the cidb in conjunction with National Treasury), e.g. byintegrating the design and construction aspects of construction works, forming long-term relationships to improve performanceincluding the quantum of service delivered by entering into framework contracts, paying more attention to the managementof construction related risks through the contract, fostering collaborative relationships and engaging in a competitive selectionprocess for professional services. This shift in procurement arrangements is underpinned by alternative contracting strategiesand pricing strategies and is aimed at not only improving the quality of infrastructure but also increasing government’s capacityto deliver and maintain much needed infrastructure. The successful implementation of all of these modern approaches is to alarge extent dependent upon the evaluation of tenders being on the basis of the most economically advantageous offer asopposed to lowest price.Evaluation Method 4 as prescribed by the Standard for Uniformity provides for price (financial offer), preference and functionality(quality) and is typically applied to ensure that the appointed contractor is able to add value in the delivery of construction works.Such value add may be demonstrated in a number of areas including construction methodologies (build ability), experiencein projects of a similar nature, programming of the works, management of the site and supply chain, what innovation can bebrought to a specific project in terms of managing risks relating to health and safety, environmental requirements and quality.Method 4 recognises and rewards those contractors who have made investments in improving their performance in the deliveryof construction works and their service to clients. This not only adds value and reduces life cycle costs but also minimise risks(the effect of uncertainty on objectives) in relation to time, cost and quality of the works and health, safety and environmentalincidents which can impact negatively on project outcomes.After extensive research, the cidb is working closely with the National Department of Public Works and in consultation withthe National Treasury for an amicable solution to retain Method 4. Application for a possible remedy has been prepared forMinisterial approval.ANNUAL REPORT <strong>2010</strong>/11

64Construction Procurement Skills ProgrammeThe cidb has identified a deficiency in skills required by public sector officials and other stakeholders involved in constructionprocurement and delivery management.The cidb has commenced work on a Construction Procurement Skills Framework which aims to create an enabling environmentto provide continuing professional development and a formal accreditation/certification as well as training opportunities forconstruction procurement practitioners. The Framework will consider the development and implementation of a certificationsystem for procurement practitioners to ensure compliance with the requirements of the Standard for Uniformity in ConstructionProcurement. Such a system will enable Accounting Officers and Heads of Supply Chain Management to entrust constructionprocurement related activities only to staff members and consultants / agents who are conversant with the cidb standard.CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT BOARD


65Competition CommissionSection 5(4) of the Construction Industry Development Board Act, 2000 determines that the Board must publish a code ofconduct for all construction-related procurement and all participants involved in the procurement process. The ambit of thissection includes all players in the construction procurement process, from Clients through to subcontractors and suppliers.The Code of Conduct applies to all construction-related procurement and all participants involved in the procurement process,from the application for registration as a contractor, through to the tender process and the registration and completion of aproject, including participation in the Best Practice Project Assessment Scheme and the Best Practice Contractor RecognitionScheme.In relation to the conduct of tenderers, the Code of Conduct indicates that a tenderer, his employees or agent should:• Not, except for the purpose of joint venture formation or collective action deal with unfair conditions or other faults indocumentation, become involved in collusion with other tenderers, or potential tenderers• Not exchange information regarding tenders with any other tenderer prior to the closing time and date for tenders• Not knowingly price his tender in such a way as to gain an unfair advantage from an obvious error, or oversight, in the tenderdocuments• Not attempt to influence the tender evaluation process• Not approach any representative or employee directly in connection with a tender.With regard to the conduct of a contractor, the Code of Conduct inter alia lists that “The contractor or his employees shouldnot engage in collusive practices that have direct or indirect adverse impacts on the cost of the project to the employer”. Theactions of collusive tendering and price fixing, commonly referred to as collusive practices, have an adverse impact on the costof the project to the Client, and therefore constitute a transgression of the cidb Code of Conduct in addition to a contraventionof the Competition Act, 1998.The cidb will be formalising a relationship with the Competition Commission via a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) toensure synergies in the investigation and prosecution of both contractors and built environment professionals found to be guiltyof collusive practices.Investigation into Transnet’s New Multi Product Pipeline (NMPP)In December <strong>2010</strong>, the cidb was approached to participate in a Ministerial Review Task Team under the leadership of theDepartment of Public Enterprises to investigate the cost overruns and time delays associated with Transnet’s New Multi ProductPipeline.The Ministerial Review Team was to explore whether the key parameters of the NMPP in terms of construction and outputperformance were reasonable, and the shortcomings that resulted in cost trends of the project cycled through massivefluctuations.The Review Team’s approach was to access all possible perspectives on the technical characteristics, cost and schedule trendsof the NMPP project through interviews and to cross-check these with accessed documentary evidence, and subsequentlyformulate its findings and recommendations. The cidb’s prescripts and regulations were monitored for compliance, as well asan examination of the appropriateness of the procurement models and its outcomes in relation to the massive cost increasesof the project.A report of the findings and recommendations of the Ministerial Review Task Team was concluded in April <strong>2011</strong>. The report hasbeen tabled with the Minister of the Department of Public Enterprises.ANNUAL REPORT <strong>2010</strong>/11


66FACILITATING GROWTHAND DEVELOPMENTBACKGROUNDThe Growth and Contractor Development GCD programme gave focus in<strong>2010</strong>/11 to:• Supporting national, provincial and other Contractor Development (CD)programme implementation• Strengthening clients capacity to manage the implementation of their CDprogrammes• Facilitating access to various CD support initiative, and• Ensuring stakeholder capacitation and interactionContractor development objectives were implemented through its core units theEnterprise Development Unit and the Construction Contact Centre (CCC)/cidbprovincial partnered offices.Enterprise DevelopmentInformed by lessons from interactions with key stakeholders, both through theprovincial contractor development fora (PCDF) and through the cidb ProvincialStakeholder Workshops, the GCD Enterprise Development Unit focussed its activitieson the following areas:CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT BOARD• Strengthening the institutional arrangements for the National ContractorDevelopment Programme (NCDP)• Developing knowledge and information materials• Providing technical support and assistance to clients• Undertaking a Baseline Study of contractor development programmes• Developing guidelines for implementing contractor development• Convening a national workshop on the promotion of Green and Decent Jobsin the South African building and construction sector• Establishing strategic and smart partnerships, and• Promoting regional collaboration on contractor development.


67SupportingContractorDevelopment inSouth AfricaStrengthening the institutional arrangements for NCDPThe cidb assisted by the Policy and <strong>Monitoring</strong> Branch of the National Department of Public Works established a SteeringCommittee to coordinate the implementation of the NCDP.The NCDP Steering Committee comprises of representatives from:• National Department of Public Works• cidb and• Other role players who may be co-opted as and when necessary (these representatives are not permanent SteeringCommittee members).The main functions of the NCDP Steering committee are to:• Co-ordinate the NCDP implementation• Provide strategic guidance and leadership on contractor development• Facilitate consultation and input through workshops and national fora• Facilitate development of guidelines• Monitor and review alignment of contractor development programmes to the NCDP Framework• Monitor and evaluate the implementation of contractor development programmes.The NCDP Steering Committee complements the provincial contractor development fora (PCDF) that have been established by:• Promoting and capacitating on the NCDP• Sharing knowledge and experience on contractor development• Adopting and promoting good practice contractor development guidelines and processes; and• Aligning contractor development programmes to the NCDP.Developing knowledge tools and information materialThe cidb developed knowledge and information tools to empower contractors on the critical aspect of managing a constructionbusiness. During the year under review four brochures were added to the existing series of Tips and Advice. These focused on:• Contract management• Health and Safety• Marketing and• Tendering processes for public sector procurement.ANNUAL REPORT <strong>2010</strong>/11


68Technical support to clientsA major focus was on providing technical support to clients to promote common approaches to contractor development, goodpractices and models for contractor development.Technical support, to clients and capacitation were provided through:• Bilateral engagements with clients in response to ad-hoc request• Regular provincial contractor development forum meetings• Roadshows and workshops• Information sharing through provincial cidb stakeholder workshops.The NCDP provincial client capacitation road shows and workshops were convened in all provinces. The focus of the workshopswas to:• Capacitate clients on the NCDP framework and its components• Capacitate clients on other cidb products and services that facilitate or support contractor development such as targetingand procurement strategies• Share experiences and good practice in contractor development.The cidb responded to ad-hoc requests and assisted the following government departments with the conceptualisation of theircontractor development programmes:• The Northern Cape Department of Roads and Public Works – Rea Gona Emerging Contractor Development Programme• KwaZulu-Natal Department of Public Works – Masakhe Emerging Contractor Development Programme• Mpumalanga Province Department of Public Works – Sakhabakhi Contractor Development Programme.Based on the review of the above programmes, it is apparent that clients are at varying stages of aligning their programmesto the NCDP Framework. It is also evident that client are desirous of obtaining the best possible results for their contractordevelopmentprogrammes. In this regard the cidb seeks to further strengthen its capacity to provide technical support to clients.Baseline study of contractor development programmesA Baseline Study on Provincial Contractor DevelopmentProgrammes in South Africa was completed. The study updatesthe Status Quo Review of Contractor Development Programmespreviously carried out by the cidb in March 2009.CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT BOARDThe aim of the study was to review the performance of existingcontractor development programmes and identify key successfactors, best practice and appropriate indicators for monitoringand evaluation of contractor development programmes. It wasalso to:• Review the performance and outcomes of contractordevelopment programmes to date• Identify indicators for success of contractor developmentprogrammes that can be used as the basis for effectivemonitoring and evaluation system of contractor developmentprogrammes; and• Provide baseline information for use by contractordevelopment practitioners to benchmark programmes.The study of baselines has commenced with participatingorganisations. The aim is to effect corrective measures wherenecessary and to agree on the basis for monitoring of futureparticipating programmes.


69Guidelines for implementing contractor developmentThe cidb developed guidelines for design and implementation ofcontractor development programmes (CDP’s), to assist clients as a meansof engaging grade 2-6 contractors. The objectives of the guidelines is toestablish all the necessary mechanisms, as recommended by the “StatusQuo <strong>Report</strong>: SA Contractor Development Programmes” for implementingCDP’s.The NCDP framework forms the basis of the guidelines. Therefore all clientswho want to align their programmes to the framework are required tocomply with the guidelines in implementing their prospective CDP’s. Themechanisms established by the guide include:• Targeting of budgets, projects and contractors• Evaluation of contractors when entering a programme• Training and mentoring• Sharing the cost of contractor development• Payment dispute resolution• Exiting from the programme; and• <strong>Monitoring</strong> and evaluating the programme.National workshop on the promotion of green and decent jobs in the South Africanbuilding and construction sectorThe State of the Nation Address by the President of South Africa, and the Industrial Policy Action Programme II presented bythe Minister of Trade and Industry outlines the promotion of decent work and the creation of green jobs as two policy prioritiesof the Government of South Africa and its social partners. There is a need for strategies to make these goals ‘actionable’ in acollaborative effort between Government, private sector and civil society.To contribute to the debate on creation of decent and green jobs in using the building and construction sector the cidbin partnership with the Ministry of Economic Development, the International Labour Organisation (ILO), the United NationsEnvironment Programme (UNEP), and the Centre for Industrial and Scientific Research (CSIR) organised a one-day workshop forselected sector stakeholders.The workshop took place on 17 May <strong>2010</strong> at the Sandton Convention Centre.The objectives of the workshop were to:• Validate the findings of field research on the potential for greening the building and construction sector in South Africa, andhow to maximise the creation of decent jobs in the process• Jointly review best practice in promoting decent and green jobs in the building and construction sector worldwide, and todiscuss concrete proposals for further driving this agenda in the building and construction sector in South Africa.Observations from the workshop included:• Issues related to skills gaps.• Workforce development related to green technologies• The need for a government supported training programme• The importance of SME’s uptake and involvement.The cidb is considering strategies to respond to these observations.ANNUAL REPORT <strong>2010</strong>/11


70Establishing strategic and smart partnershipThe cidb continued to develop relations with stakeholderswho can offer cidb registered contractors value and supportenterprise development. These include training providers,material suppliers, government entities, banks and financeintermediaries.On 1 October <strong>2010</strong> the cidb signed a MoU with Nedbank.The focus has now shifted to ensuring that the MoUs areoperationalised.The cidb commissioned a study into the South African financinglandscape, with the aim of developing a financial model andimplementation strategy.The study acknowledges lack of financial support as one ofmany constraints to contractors development and recommends(particularly for financing houses) implementation of variousstrategies that will facilitate quicker access to finance as well asnon-financial support.A series of workshops and focused presentations were conductedas part of a consultative process which included participantsfrom the insurance sector, banking and financial intermediaries.Key issues raised include the need to create an enablingenvironment for accessing finance, improved financialinfrastructure and government and private sector collaborationin the medium to long term.Promoting regional collaboration on contractor developmentAs the current secretariat of the Contractor Development Organisations in Africa and other Developing Countries of the Worldthe cidb undertook a fact finding visit to Harare, Zimbabwe. The trip followed a study trip to South Africa by a delegation fromConstruction Industry Federation of Zimbabwe (CIFOZ) on the 26 – 27 May <strong>2010</strong>.The purpose of the visits was to explore prospects for establishment of partnerships between local construction companies andtheir Zimbabwean counterparts.They also provided an opportunity to review progress in taking forward the objectives of the MoU signed on 31 October 2009 inJohannesburg South Africa Botswana, Ghana, Malawi, Mauritius, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe.CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT BOARD


71CONSTRUCTION CONTACT CENTRES (CCCs)(Provincial partnered cidb offices)With a footprint in the nine provinces the cidb offered improved servicedelivery on both registration functions and other supportive service:• Facilitating contractor development and other cidb support services• Strategic partnerships• Customer service orientation.Facilitating Contractor Development and other cidbsupport servicesThe provincial partnered offices/CCCs provide improved registration service with shorter turnaround times. They also provide anadvice service facilitating better compliance to registration requirements. The centres support clients on contractor development,procurement and information dissemination. They also facilitate implementation of national initiatives at provincial level. Initiativesinclude contractor workshops, client capacitation on contractor development, implementation of alternative procurementstrategies, and Women in Construction Excellence Awards.Provincial Stakeholder WorkshopsProvincial stakeholder workshops aimed to benefit provincial stakeholders with regards to delivery of cidb programmes andprojects to support the cidb mandate, thus encouraging participation in shaping the programmes.Well attended Workshops were convened in various Provinces as follows:Table 1.

Projectmodels that support and elevate contractor development were coined in partnership with provincial departments. Catalyticprojects were defined as those projects that have links to a specific development programme or developmental initiative.These projects financial contribution serve as contribution to stimulate similar contributions from other stakeholders. The majorprinciple was to enhance partnerships within Provincial Department of Public Works as the primary partner for initiatives, wherepossible, but such projects may extend to any stakeholder or partner striving to achieve positive developmental outcomes.ANNUAL REPORT <strong>2010</strong>/11

74Strategic PartnershipsIn order to truly give effect to the cidb motto of ‘development through partnerships’, the cidb continued to implement provincialMoA’s. These included improving relations and facilitating training and support to contractors in partnership with training serviceproviders and government entities. Training was conducted on Occupational Health and Safety and on financial management.CCC Customer Service OrientationThe cidb adopted a monitoring and evaluation (M&E) strategy for its provincial partnered CCC offices. One of the key indicatorsto be measured as part of the M&E strategy was the performance and service delivery by the staff as assessed by contractors,clients and stakeholders. Internal assessment systems during 2009/10 were considered necessary and a reputation survey for allprovincial offices was commissioned.The objectives of the survey was to:• Measure performance of the CCCs on service and reputation amongst clients, stakeholders and contractors so as toestablish initial baseline benchmarks for the various services rendered• Review the effectiveness of the current systems in place• Propose amendments or improvements to the systems in place; and• Further streamline service delivery effectiveness.Table 6: Typical responses received were measured against a performance benchmarking rate of 68%formulated as follows:Rating % = [(% of responses x 1) + (% of responses x 2) + (% of responses x 3)]/3, e.g.SCORE BELOW PAR (1) AVERAGE (2) EXCELLENT (3)% of Responses 22% 52% 26%Rating = 68%CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT BOARD

78Growing cidb Provincial reachThe cidb has established 9 Construction Contact Centres (CCCs) as partnered provincial offices. The North West CCC operatesin temporary premises and will relocate to new permanent offices which will be launched during <strong>2011</strong>/12, in partnership with theNW Department of Public Works, Roads and Transport.The project in the North West was constructed and completed by a cidb registered grade 6 contractor. The expected focus in<strong>2011</strong>/12 will be on improved service delivery, customer satisfaction and growing the value add and offerings.To this end, a phased approach commencing in <strong>2011</strong>/12, will see staff resourcing, and a priority on contractor developmentand other cidb services being more accessible within the Provincial Partnered Offices.Focus areas for <strong>2011</strong>/12• Continued service improvement• Focus on impact surveys and M&E• Extension of resources to offer more cidb services• Increased focus on contractor development• Space and resource planning for maximum efficiency• Addressing the challenge of influx of Grade 1s• Utilisation of professional services and rollout of catalytic projects• Ongoing support on procurement and contractor development to clients and industry.CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT BOARD

80MONITORINGINDUSTRY PERFORMANCEThe cidb has developed a suite of products to help monitor and evaluate theperformance of the industry and to support contractor development, including:• Sector specific status reports• The cidb Construction Industry Indicators (CIIs)• The cidb Quarterly Monitor; and• The cidb SME Business Conditions Survey.Collectively, these products provide a base for a detailed understanding of theindustry by the cidb.The cidb Construction Industry Indicators (CIIs) have been captured annually since2003, and measure the performance of the industry focusing on Clients, the client’sagent / consultant and contractors. The CIIs are currently being captured by thecidb in partnership with the Department of Quantity Surveying and ConstructionManagement of the University of the Free State.The current CIIs reflect indicators measured for projects completed in the 2009calendar year, drawn from client departments involving 434 projects and 1053contractors from across all nine provinces. The indicators captured cover:• Client satisfaction• Contractor satisfaction• Profitability and payment delays• Procurement indicators; and• Health and safety.CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT BOARDAs in previous years, while the overall performance results for the industry areencouraging, and overall show an improvement over previous years, thechallenge is to raise the performance of the industry as a whole, and in particularthe performance of “the bottom 30%”:• Clients were neutral or dissatisfied with the performance of contractors on 15%of the projects surveyed in <strong>2010</strong>• Around 12% of the projects surveyed had levels of defects which are regardedas inappropriate• Contractors were neutral or dissatisfied with the quality of tender documentsand specifications obtained from clients on around 22% of the projectssurveyed. Contractor satisfaction was lowest for national/district council clients,followed by national departments.


81• Contractors were neutral or dissatisfied with the management of Variation Orders on 26% of the projects surveyed• Contractors were least satisfied with the management of Variation Orders with the national departments, followed closely bythe metropolitan councils and provincial departments• 48% of payments to contractors were made over 30 days or longer after invoicing; this shows a welcome improvement overthe payment delays compared to the 2008 and 2009 results. Payment delays recorded in the <strong>2010</strong> survey were highest inthe regional/district and metropolitan councils.The cidb Quarterly Monitor provides an overview of the state of contractor development in South Africa as input to developingtargeted intervention strategies in support of the National Contractor Development programme (NCDP). The cidb QuarterlyMonitor focuses on public sector supply and demand at a provincial level, and currently deals only with the General Building(GB) and Civil Engineering (CE) cidb Class of Works.Details of contract awards are obtained from the cidb i-Tender Register of Projects supported by the Industry Insight ProjectDatabase. (The support of Industry Insight in providing this information is gratefully acknowledged.) Contractor information isobtained from the cidb Register of Contractors.A specific focus of the cidb Quarterly Monitor has been on obtaining a detailed analysis of contractor upgrades, downgrades,and new registrations. The cidb Quarterly Monitor also monitors empowerment trends:Chart 8Chart 9ANNUAL REPORT <strong>2010</strong>/11


82• Ownership: Around 80% of cidb registered GeneralBuilding (GB) and Civil Engineering (CE) contractors inGrades 2 to 4 are black owned (defined as 50% ormore ownership control). Furthermore, around 70%to 80% of all Grade 5 and 6 General Building andCivil Engineering contractors are black owned, whilearound 50% to 60% of all Grade 7 and 8 GeneralBuilding contractors are black owned.• Contracts Awarded: Estimates of the value ofpublic sector contracts awarded to black ownedcompanies during <strong>2010</strong>/11 suggest that around 75%to 80% of the value of Grade 2 to 4 tenders havebeen awarded to black owned contractors. In tenderGrades 7 and 8, the value awarded to black ownedcontractors is significantly lower – namely around50%.• Ownership History: The change in black-ownershipover the past three years (2008 Quarter 2 to <strong>2011</strong>Quarter 1) for general Building is shown in the adjacentFigure. Of concern is that black-ownership in Grades2 to 4, 5 and 6, and 7 and 8 has in fact decreasedover this period. Similar results are obtained for CivilEngineering, although black ownership in Grades 7and 8 has increased over time.• Upgrade History: The percentage of contractorsupgrading per quarter in the General Building Classof Works and from Grades 1, 2 to 4 and 5 and 6is shown in the adjacent Figure. It is seen that thenumber of upgrades per quarter from Grades 1, 5and 6 (and from Grades 7 & 8 which are not shown)has decreased over the period 2008 Quarter 2 to<strong>2011</strong> Quarter 1. Similar trends are observed with CivilEngineering. It is likely that this decreasing trend incontractor upgrades is due largely to the negativeeconomic conditions being experienced (seebelow).Chart 10Chart 11This understanding of contractor progression on thecidb register of contractors is being used as a proxyfor measuring contractor development and an inputto developing targeting strategies for contractordevelopment.Chart 12CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT BOARDThe cidb SME Business Conditions Survey measurescontracting business conditions amongst cidb registeredcontractors at a provincial level and in various contractorgrades. The SME Business Conditions Survey is undertakenby the Bureau for Economic Research (BER) for the cidb.The Survey measures, amongst others, the businessconfidence, construction activity, tendering competition,employment and labour constraints amongst cidbregistered contractors, predominantly in cidb Grades 3to 8.The results of the Business Conditions Surveys show that,business confidence in the General Building and CivilEngineering sectors has decreased significantly over theperiod 2008 Quarter 3 to <strong>2011</strong> Quarter 1 – but indicationsare that business conditions could now be improving.


83Construction Quality in SA: A Client PerspectiveValue to clients is a very complex and often subjectiveissue, but it is recognised that quality of construction is akey component of perceived value to clients. As noted byFIDIC, “lack of quality in construction is manifested in pooror non-sustainable workmanship, and unsafe structures;and in delays, cost overruns and disputes in constructioncontracts”. Value and quality of construction is of concernto both public and private sector clients.Against this background, the cidb undertook a study on thequality of construction in South Africa. The report shows that,overall, clients are satisfied with the quality of constructionin South Africa, but that the quality of construction doesvary between construction projects. However, clients ingeneral, and in particular public sector clients, should notbe complacent with this, and should strive for better valueand higher quality construction.This report highlights that the major contributors to poorquality of construction in South Africa are likely to beprocurement related barriers. Such procurement relatedbarriers include:• Fraud and corruption, or ’political interference‘ (includingcronyism and nepotism)• The procurement and delivery model• The use of procurement systems based on priceand preference only, and not taking into accountfunctionality (or quality)• And/or insufficient information to be able to select professional services and/or contractors based on quality criteria.The report concludes with specific recommendations that the cidb and other stakeholders could action to support enhancedconstruction quality in South Africa (several of which the cidb has had already initiated), including:• Strong consideration should be given by the cidb to introduce requirements for integrity and transparency in constructionprocurement• Strong consideration should be given by the cidb to advocate for procurement and delivery models promoting collaborativerelationships and integrated supply teams (including design and build contracting strategies)• The cidb needs to continue to advocate for and to strengthen requirements for the appointment of professional servicesand contractors based on quality criteria – supported by performance assessment reports for professional service providersand contractors and• The cidb must continue to advocate for a building and construction component to be incorporated into the South AfricanWorld Skills activities – and should actively seek to incorporate a construction skills component into the South Africandelegation.ANNUAL REPORT <strong>2010</strong>/11


84Progress with the cidb Best Practice Project Assessment SchemeThe cidb Act requires that the Board must establish a Best Practice Project Assessment Scheme based on the best practicesidentified by the Board. All construction contracts above a prescribed tender value will then be subject to an assessment ofcompliance with best practice standards and guidelines published by the Board.Several key best practices are currently being finalised by the cidb together with industry stakeholders for possible roll-out as partof the Best Practice Project Assessment Scheme.Enterprise Development: Growth of the emerging sector can be facilitated through a number of mechanisms, including:• Directly through structured public or private sector contractordevelopment programmes together with appropriate preferencemodels; or• Indirectly through a procurement model with targeteddevelopment outcomes; and• Indirect targeting includes mechanisms such as those where acondition of contract is for the main contractor to develop jointventurepartners and/or sub-contractors.A Focus <strong>Group</strong> has completed the development of draft requirementsand guidelines for indirect targeting to promote enterprise development.These requirements provide for a minimum of 5% of the total projectvalue on selected contracts to be undertaken by Joint-Venturepartners or to sub-contracted to developing contractors that are alsoto be beneficiaries of enterprise development support from the maincontractor.The draft requirements will be submitted to the Board in <strong>2011</strong>/12for possible submission to the Minister of Public Works and forsubsequent implementation. If implemented, it is estimated that therecommendations could result in around R4,6 billion of contractsto developing enterprises per year; and 700 contractors receivingdevelopmental support per year.Construction Skills Policy: A Focus <strong>Group</strong> has completed the developmentof draft requirements and guidelines for workplace training of internsand up-skilling of company employees in programmes that result innationally accredited outcomes, such as, learnerships and accreditedskills programmes.CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT BOARDThe draft requirements provide for 0,5% of the tender value of GeneralBuilding (GB) contracts and 0,25% of the tender value of Civil Engineeringcontracts (CE) to be allocated to workplace training on public sectorcontracts in tender Grades 7 to 9. It is estimated that this will translate toaround: R280 million spend on workplace training per year; and 3 000learning opportunities per year.The draft requirements will be submitted to the Board in <strong>2011</strong>/12 forpossible submission to the Minister of Public Works and for implementation.Energy Efficient Buildings: A Focus <strong>Group</strong> has endorsed the Green StarSA rating tools of the Green Building Council of South Africa (GBCSA)as a best practice for public and private sector buildings – which hassubsequently being gazetted by the cidb.The Board also approved the requirements and guidelines developedby the Focus <strong>Group</strong>, requiring that all public buildings (including PPPs) for


85which the planning phase is begun (including major renovations for which planning approval is required) should be designedand/or constructed to achieve, at a minimum, 4 Star Green Star SA certification. These requirements and guidelines for energyefficient public buildings will be submitted to the Minister of Public Works in <strong>2011</strong>/12 for possible roll-out. If implemented, it isestimated that the recommendations could result in around:• R850 million pa savings in cost of carbon for non-residential buildings; and• R55 million pa savings in cost of carbon for the national DPW portfolio.Progress with the cidb Best Practice Contractor Recognition SchemeThe Construction Industry Development Board Act (Act 38 of 2000) requires the Board to establish a Best Practice ContractorRecognition Scheme which:a) enables organs of state to manage risk on complex contracting strategies; andb) promotes contractor development in relation to best practice standards and guidelines developed by the Board.Work is progressing well with the development of the cidb Best Practice Contractor Recognition Scheme, and frameworkdocuments have been developed and endorsed by industry for key components of the Best Practice Contractor RecognitionScheme. Most of these frameworks are now in a piloting phase before possible final endorsement by stakeholders and roll-out:Contractor Performance Assessment: A Focus <strong>Group</strong>has developed and endorsed recommendations thatContractor Performance Assessment reports will berequired to be submitted by the employer to the cidbon practical completion of all prescribed public andprivate sector projects. These reports will provide atrack record of the performance of contractors whichcan be used for:• Assessing the suitability of contractors forregistration, pre-qualification, selective tender listsor expressions of interest• Adjudication for the award of a contract; ortermination of contract.Chart 13A pilot project to evaluate the Contractor PerformanceAssessment reports was initiated with the Western CapeDepartment of Roads and Works in 2009/10. To date,a total of 126 Contractor Performance Assessmentforms covering mainly maintenance and renovationson building projects have been evaluated, coveringprojects ranging in value from R200k to R28m. The pilotis progressing well, and it has been recommendedthat the pilot continue through <strong>2011</strong>/12.Discussions are continuing on extending the pilot to other provinces and to selected metros.cidb Competence Accreditation: A Focus <strong>Group</strong> has developed and endorsed recommendations that will provide for anassessment of the competencies of a contracting enterprise measured against acceptable standards necessary for runninga contracting enterprise and for supervising building and construction works – targeting Grade 2 to 4 contractors. In terms ofthe recommendations, once incorporated into the cidb Best Practice Contractor Recognition Scheme, clients will then beencouraged to procure work from contractors that possess such minimum standards.A draft framework for external assessment (RPL equivalence) has been developed to accredit these competences in contractorswho do not hold any formal qualifications. This framework will be piloted in <strong>2011</strong>/12.In addition, a skills survey of a sample of Grade 2 to 6 contractors has also been completed to assess the level of competenciesthat contractors currently possess, as an input into assessing the resource requirements an external assessment of a contractor’scompetencies where the contractor or his nominated representative does not hold the required minimum formal qualifications.ANNUAL REPORT <strong>2010</strong>/11

The pilot is currently drawing to conclusion, and a similar pilot project is beinginitiated in Gauteng for <strong>2011</strong>/12.CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT BOARD


87cidb Industry ESDAThe cidb in partnership with industry partners have established an Employment Skills Development Agency (ESDA) to provide workplacement opportunities to FET college learners to gain vital workplace experience. The cidb industry ESDA is currently rolling outa pilot project with 20 learners who have completed their National Certificate Vocational (NCV) Level 4 in Civil Engineering andBuilding Construction.The candidates are employed by the cidb industry ESDA and placed with construction companies for relevant practical exposureand coaching in bricklaying, plastering and concreting. The ESDA pays the learner stipend; provides personal protective clothingand basic tools for their respective trades. The cidb industry ESDA also takes care of the administrative burdens that come withtaking on interns. The ESDA also tracks their progress with the assistance of the on-site coach and FET lecturers.The ESDA will be integral to the roll-out of the Construction Skills Policy (see page 84)cidb Doctoral WorkshopA one day cidb doctoral workshop was held in Cape Town in October <strong>2010</strong>, organised jointly by UCT and CPUT. The aimof the one-day workshop was to draw together students registered towards a research degree (typically PhD’s DTech andMSc and MTech) with their supervisors and for the students to present their work (in progress), focusing on deployed researchmethodologies but also on theoretical frameworks in use into their peers, supervisors and other academics. Five students fromfour universities presented their work.Very informative interactions were had between the cidb, academic staff and students regarding their research during theworkshop, and useful feedback was given to students regarding presentation skills and research methodology.It was also clear from the workshop that the base of experienced supervisors within the built environment community needs tobe grown, and suggestions are made to encourage active cross-university co-supervision – particularly to support academicsfrom previously disadvantaged institutions.ANNUAL REPORT <strong>2010</strong>/11

91Job EvaluationAs one of the means to resolve anomalies relating to job levels and remuneration, cidb management approved that a JobEvaluation system be introduced to ensure that work of the same value is rewarded or remunerated at the same or equal payscale. This process started in December <strong>2010</strong> and will be completed in the following year. The intended outcome of this processis to ensure that all jobs are properly evaluated and linked to applicable pay scales.Human Resource DevelopmentFor the period under review, cidb continued on its commitment to train and develop its personnel in areas that require technicalskills as well as soft skills. Of the annual payroll budget, 1.92% was committed to Human Resources Development (HRD) asguided by employees PDPs as well as outcomes from staff performance assessments.Human Resources ChallengesThe cidb continues to experience challenges in terms of attracting and retaining human resources with specialised skills andcapabilities. During the period under review, some of the human resources challenges experienced were:• Staff attraction: Good candidates not keen to respond to job adverts whilst others reject offers; and• Staff retention: resignation by key personnel to join other organisations that have better incentives schemes.Employment Equitycidb’s commitment to Employment Equity continues to yield positive results. Not only are women in the majority, 41% ofsupervisory and managerial positions at cidb are currently occupied by women while black women represent 81% of the totalnumber of women employed by the cidb.cidb has a total number of 39 managers and supervisors six of which occupy senior positions in the organisation and 16 of themare women as per below breakdown:MANAGERS AND SUPERVISORSRACE MALE FEMALEAfrican 18 16Indian 3 1White 3 -Coloured 2 -Below is the Employment Equity status of the cidb as at 31 March <strong>2011</strong> per Occupational Level:OCCUPATIONAL LEVELS MALE FEMALE FOREIGNERS TOTALA C I W A C I W MALES FEMALESTop Management 2 0 2 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 6Snr.

The committee is a permanent structure, withmembership rotated on an annual basis. The committee has a cross functional representation with diversely qualified officialswho have adequate supply chain and construction related experience. These individuals also hold senior positions in theirrespective programmes.

95Bid Evaluation CommitteeThe Bid Evaluation Committee (BEC) oversees the evaluation of all procurement services above R30,000.00 and presents adetailed report for adjudication to the BAC. cidb’s BEC is kept as a floating structure to allow specialist participation.Irregular ExpenditureThe Supply Chain Management unit maintains a register of all irregular expenditure and actions taken in line with NationalTreasury Practice Note 4 of 2008/2009. All relevant disclosure requirements have been complied with as reported in the cidb’s<strong>Annual</strong> Financial Statements.ExpenditureThe cidb will endeavour to promote Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment in its sourcing and related spend withoutcompromising quality. Of the total spend of R 37,894,912 (2009/10: R 37,715,836) for the <strong>2010</strong>/11 financial year, 31% (2009/10:30%) was spent on historically disadvantaged individuals, with 20% (2009/10: 7%) of which was spent on women ownership.9% (2009/10: 8%) of the total spent went to related parties. cidb intends growing the HDI spent to 50% within the next two years.SCM ProjectsProjects during the yearSCM embarked on a clean-up project in an effort to identify all irregular expenditure incurred during the financial year whichproject focused at conducting the review of the supply chain management process. The project was successfully completedand all irregular expenditure has been disclosed in the <strong>Annual</strong> Financial Statements.The cidb supplier database project which is aimed at updating the supplier information on our system has also been completedwith success and is working effectively. Through this system, all prospective and existing service providers will now be given anequal opportunity and assurance that the SCM processes are fair, transparent, cost-effective, competitive and equitable.Upcoming projectsTraining of SCM officials and staff: This is targeted for the <strong>2011</strong>/2012 financial year to ensure that the supply chain unit is operatingat its peak in all aspects of the supply chain. Workshops will be conducted during the year to ensure that all officials involved in theSCM process are fully aware of the procedures and processes in order to minimise irregular expenditure within the organisation.Supplier performance: The purpose of this is to monitor supplier performance against the agreed service level agreementand make sure public funds are spent wisely on suppliers that will add value for money to the organisation. It aims to improveperformance of all parties involved in the contract by measuring supplier’s ability to comply with and or preferably exceed theircontractual obligation.SCM automation: Automating the supply chain management process will help the personnel in the unit to execute theirresponsibilities in an effective and efficient manner. The SCM is of the view that once procurement module is in place, it willscale down most of the work that are performed manually and reduce the risk of non-compliance and errors.ANNUAL REPORT <strong>2010</strong>/11

Public sectordelivery has been enhanced through the Infrastructure Delivery Improvement Programme (IDIP) that is run in partnership withthe National Treasury and the DBSA. The National Contractor Development Programme (NCDP), a contractor developmentframework, was identified as a national priority. It was supported by the establishment of the Steering Committee between thecidb and the National Department of Public Works. Already, the cidb has worked with the provincial departments of Public Worksto acquire their statistics on contractor development, an activity that was difficult to accomplish in the past.The cidb /industry ESDA (Employment Skills Development Agency) was kick-started through a pilot phase using internal resources.The first group of learners was inducted and placed with various companies in the industry. The absorption capacity of thisinitiative will depend on funding. During the year under review, the cidb appointed Wits University and NMMU (Nelson MandelaMetropolitan University) as its Centres of Excellence to drive the research agenda and improve academic excellence. Again thishas been achieved with limited resources from the cidb.There was a further delay with the construction of the permanent Construction Contact Centre (CCC) office in the North Westprovince, the last one to be officially opened. The North West CCC will continue to operate from the current temporary premises.The official opening will now be in the financial year <strong>2011</strong>/12.

It was supported by the Provincial Stakeholder Workshopsin six provinces by the end of March <strong>2011</strong>. The remaining provinces were KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), Limpopo and the Free State. TheKZN workshop was re-scheduled to April <strong>2011</strong> due to other commitments by the provincial Department of Public Works. Also, thecidb cohosted the international <strong>2010</strong> Construction Summit with the CIOB (Chartered Institute of Building) in May <strong>2010</strong>.The Best Practice Schemes have progressed further in that the piloting of the prioritised components has moved to the finalstages with participants. The pilot outcomes will inform how and when the next stages of implementation will be developed.CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT BOARDThe review of the registration criteria was concluded and the proposed amendments to the regulations are ready for submissionto the Minister to publish for public comments and further processing. This will see many changes aimed at improving theregistration process being implemented. The initial phase of the registration software rewrite has been started in a project that willcreate a new platform for the Registers Programme over the next three years.In terms of corporate governance, the term of the 3rd Board of the cidb ended on 12 December <strong>2010</strong>.

104REPORT OF THE AUDITOR-GENERALto Parliament on the Financial Statements of theConstruction Industry Development Board for the year ended 31 March <strong>2011</strong>REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSIntroduction1. I have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Construction Industry Development Board, which comprisethe statement of financial position as at 31 March <strong>2011</strong>, and the statement of financial performance, statement of changesin net assets and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, a summary of significant accounting policies and otherexplanatory information as set out on pages 108 to 139.Accounting authority’s responsibility for the financial statements2. The accounting authority is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordancewith the South African Standards of Generally Recognised Accounting Practice (SA Standards of GRAP) and the requirementsof the Public Finance Management Act of South Africa, 1999 (Act No.1 of 1999) (PFMA), and for such internal controlas management determines necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error.Auditor-General’s responsibility3. As required by section 188 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 (Act No. 108 of 1996) and, section 4of the Public Audit Act of South Africa, 2004 (Act No. 25 of 2004) (PAA), my responsibility is to express an opinion on thesefinancial statements based on my audit.4. I conducted my audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and General Notice 1111 of <strong>2010</strong> issued inGovernment Gazette 33872 of 15 December <strong>2010</strong>. Those standards require that I comply with ethical requirements andplan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from materialmisstatement.5. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financialstatements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of materialmisstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considersinternal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design auditprocedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectivenessof the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and thereasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of thefinancial statements.6. I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my audit opinion.OpinionCONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT BOARD7. In my opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the ConstructionIndustry Development Board as at 31 March <strong>2011</strong>, and its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended inaccordance with SA Standards of GRAP and the requirements of the PFMA.Emphasis of matters8. I draw attention to the matters below. My opinion is not modified in respect of these matters:

The matters reported below are limited to the significant deficiencies that resulted inthe basis for my opinion, the findings on the annual performance report and the findings on compliance with laws andregulations included in this report.CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT BOARDLeadership22. The accounting authority did not exercise effective oversight in ensuring that the planning and monitoring of performanceinformation were aligned to National Treasury’s Framework for Managing Programme Performance. Furthermore the cidb didnot have sufficient monitoring controls to ensure compliance with Supply Chain Management legislation.

113ACCOUNTING POLICIES1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES1.1. BASIS OF PREPARATIONThe <strong>Annual</strong> Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Recognised Accounting Practice (GRAP),issued by the Accounting Standards Board in accordance with Section 89 of the Public Finance Management Act (Act No. 1 of1999).The <strong>Annual</strong> Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis unless otherwise indicated.The principle accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below.Assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses have not been offset except where offsetting is required or permitted by a Standard ofGRAP.The principle accounting policies are applied consistently with those used to present the previous year’s financial statements,unless explicitly stated. The details of any changes in principle accounting policies are explained in the relevant policy.The principle accounting policies for material transactions, events or conditions not covered by the GRAP reporting framework,as detailed above, have been developed in accordance with paragraphs 7, 11 and 12 of GRAP 3 and the hierarchy approvedin Directive 5 issued by the Accounting Standards Board.The following GRAP Standards have been issued but are not yet effective and have not been early adopted by the ConstructionIndustry Development Board:GRAP 21: Impairment of non-cash-generating assets (effective date 1 April 2012)GRAP 23: Revenue from non-exchange transactions (taxes and transfers) (effective date 1 April 2012)GRAP 24: Presentation of Budget Information in Financial Statements (effective date 1 April 2012)GRAP 25: Employee Benefits (not yet announced)GRAP 26: Impairment of cash-generating Assets (effective date 1 April 2012)GRAP 103: Heritage Assets (effective date 1 April 2012)GRAP 104: Financial Instruments (not yet announced)IGRAP 2: Changes in Existing Decommissioning, Restoration and Similar Liabilities (effective date 1 April <strong>2011</strong>)IGRAP 3: Determining whether an Arrangement contains a lease (effective date 1 April <strong>2011</strong>)IGRAP 4: Rights to interests arising from decommissioning, restoration and environmental rehabilitation funds (effective date1 April <strong>2011</strong>)IGRAP 7: The limit on a defined benefit asset, minimum funding requirements and their interaction (not yet announced)IGRAP 10: Assets received from customers (effective date 1 April <strong>2011</strong>)IGRAP 13: Operating leases - Incentives (effective date 1 April <strong>2011</strong>)IGRAP 15: Revenue - Barter transactions involving advertising services (effective date 1 April <strong>2011</strong>)GRAP 18: Segment <strong>Report</strong>ing (not yet announced)IGRAP 5: Applying the restatement approach under the standard of GRAP on financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies(effective date 1 April <strong>2011</strong>)IGRAP 6: Loyalty Programmes (effective date 1 April <strong>2011</strong>)IGRAP 8: Agreements for the construction of assets from exchange transactions (effective date 1 April <strong>2011</strong>)GRAP 9: Distributions of non-cash assets to owners (effective date 1 April <strong>2011</strong>)GRAP 14: Evaluating the substance of transactions involving the legal form of a lease (effective date 1 April <strong>2011</strong>)ANNUAL REPORT <strong>2010</strong>/11


114ACCOUNTING POLICIES(continued)1.2. PRESENTATION CURRENCYThe financial statements are presented in South African Rand, which is the functional currency of the entity, and are rounded offto the nearest Rand.1.3. GOING CONCERN ASSUMPTIONThese <strong>Annual</strong> Financial Statements have been prepared on the assumption that the entity will continue to operate as a goingconcern for at least the next 12 months.1.4. COMPARATIVE INFORMATIONWhen the presentation or classification of items in the <strong>Annual</strong> Financial Statements is amended, prior period comparativeamounts are restated. The nature and reason for the reclassification is disclosed. Where accounting errors have been identifiedin the current year, the correction is made retrospectively as far as is practicable, and the prior year comparatives are restatedaccordingly. Where there has been a change in accounting policy in the current year, the adjustment is made retrospectivelyas far as is practicable, and the prior year comparatives are restated accordingly.1.5. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENTAn asset of property, plant and equipment is recorded on receipt of the item at cost. Cost of an asset is defined as the totalcost of acquisition.An asset is recognised when it is probable that there will be an inflow of future economic benefits associated with it and its costor fair value can be measured reliably.All property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Suchcost includes the cost of replacing a portion of equipment only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated withthe item will flow to the entity and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Subsequent costs and additions are includedin the asset’s carrying amount or are recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate. All other repairs and maintenance arecharged to the statement of financial performance during the financial period in which they are incurred. All property andequipment are depreciated. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment begins when it is available for use, ie when it is inthe location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Depreciationceases at the earlier of the date that the asset is classified as held for sale and the date that the asset is derecognised. Property,plant and equipment are depreciated on the straight-line basis to write of the cost of each asset to its residual value over itsestimated useful life.CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT BOARDThe depreciation rates applicable to each category of property, plant and equipment are as follows:Computer equipment8 years to 12 yearsOffice equipment8 years to 12 yearsFurniture and fittings10 years to 14 yearsThe residual values and the useful lives of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each balance sheet date and, ifexpectations differ from the previous estimates, the changes are accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate inaccordance with standard of GRAP.An item of property, plant and equipment is scrapped upon disposal or when no future economic benefits and service potentialare expected from its use or disposal. Any surplus or deficit arising on scrapping of the assets (calculated as the differencebetween the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of financial performancein the year the asset is derecognised.


115ACCOUNTING POLICIES(continued)1.5. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (CONTINUED)Surpluses and deficits on disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined by reference to their carrying amount andare taken into account in determining operating surplus.1.5.1 Impairment of Property, Plant and EquipmentAt each financial position date or more frequently where events or changes in circumstances dictate; indicators of impairmentof property and equipment are assessed. If there is an indication of impairment, a review is performed which includes acomparison of the carrying amount of the asset with its recoverable amount which is the higher of the asset’s or the cashgeneratingunit’s fair value less costs to sell, and its value in use. Fair value less costs to sell is calculated by reference to theamount at which the asset could be disposed of in a binding sale agreement in an arm’s length transaction evidenced by anactive market or recent transactions for similar assets. Value in use is calculated by discounting the expected future cash flowsobtained as a result of the asset’s continued use, including those resulting from its ultimate disposal, at a market based discountrate on a pre-tax basis.Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreasedor no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverableamount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amountthat would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment had been recognised.The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are written down by the amount of any impairment and this loss isrecognised in the statement of financial performance in the period in which it occurs.Repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of financial performance during the financial period in which they areincurred.1.6. INTANGIBLE ASSETSAn intangible asset is recorded on receipt of the item at cost. Cost of an asset is defined as the total cost of acquisition .An intangible asset is recognised when it is probable that there will be an inflow of future economic benefits or service potentialassociated with it and its cost or fair value can be measured reliably.Costs associated with developing or maintaining computer software programmes are recognised as an expense when incurredin the statement of financial performance. Costs that are directly associated with the production of identifiable and uniquesoftware products controlled by the Construction Industry Development Board, and that will probably generate economicbenefits and service potential exceeding costs beyond one year, are recognised as intangible assets.The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at each reportingdate and any changes are recognised as a change in accounting estimate in the Statement of Financial Performance.Amortisation is charged so as to write off the cost or valuation of intangible assets over their estimated useful lives using thestraight line method. Amortisation commences when the asset is available for use, ie when it is in the location and conditionnecessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Amortisation ceases at the earlier of thedate that the asset is classified as held for sale and the date that the asset is derecognised. The annual amortisation rates arebased on the following estimated average asset lives:Computer software5 years to 10 yearsANNUAL REPORT <strong>2010</strong>/11


116ACCOUNTING POLICIES(continued)1.6. INTANGIBLE ASSETS (CONTINUED)The entity tests intangible assets with finite useful lives for impairment where there is an indication that an asset may be impaired.An assessment of whether there is an indication of possible impairment is done at each reporting date. Where the carryingamount of an item of an intangible asset is greater than the estimated recoverable amount (or recoverable service amount),it is written down immediately to its recoverable amount (or recoverable service amount) and an impairment loss is charged tothe Statement of Financial Performance.A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed when there is an indication that it may no longer exist or may have decreased,however not to an amount higher than the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of amortisation) had noimpairment been recognised in prior years.1.7. TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLESTrade and other receivables are categorised as financial assets: loans and receivables and are initially recognised at fair valueand subsequently carried at amortised cost. Amortised cost refers to the initial carrying amount, plus interest, less repaymentsand impairments. An estimate is made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts at year-end.Impairments are determined by discounting expected future cash flows to their present value. Amounts that are receivablewithin 12 months from the reporting date are classified as current.An impairment of trade receivables is accounted for by reducing the carrying amount of trade receivables through the use ofan allowance account, and the amount of the loss is recognised in the Statement of Financial Performance within operatingexpenses. When a trade receivable is uncollectible, it is written off in the Statement of Financial Performance . Subsequentrecoveries of amounts previously written off are recognised as income in the Statement of Financial Performance.1.8. TRADE PAYABLESFinancial liabilities consist of trade payables. They are categorised as financial liabilities held at amortised cost, are initiallyrecognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost which is the initial carrying amount, less repayments, plusinterest.1.9. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTSCash includes cash on hand (including petty cash) and cash with banks (including call deposits). Cash equivalents are shorttermhighly liquid investments, readily convertible into known amounts of cash, which are held with registered banking institutionswith maturities of three months or less and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. For the purposes of the cashflow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, deposits held on call with banks. The entity categorises cashand cash equivalents as financial assets: loans and receivables.1.10. IRREGULAR, FRUITLESS AND WASTEFUL EXPENDITURECONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT BOARDIrregular expenditure means expenditure incurred in contravention of, or not in accordance with, a requirement of any applicablelegislation, including the PFMA.Fruitless and wasteful expenditure means expenditure that was made in vain and would have been avoided had reasonablecare been exercised.All irregular and fruitless and wasteful expenditure is charged against the respective class of expenditure in the period in whichthey are incurred and disclosed in a note in the period that it is identified.


117ACCOUNTING POLICIES(continued)1.11. REVENUE RECOGNITION1.11.1 Revenue from non-exchange transactionsRevenue from non-exchange transactions refers to transactions where Construction Industry Development Board receivedrevenue from another entity without directly giving approximately equal value in exchange. Revenue from non-exchangetransactions is generally recognised to the extent that the related receipt or receivable qualifies for recognition as an asset andthere is no liability to repay the amount.Revenue takes the form of grants from the Department of Public Works and is received on a quarterly basis and raised as revenueon receipt.1.11.2 Revenue from exchange transactionsRevenue from exchange transactions refers to revenue that accrued to the Construction Industry Development Board directlyin return for services rendered, the fair value of which approximates the consideration received or receivable. Revenue fromexchange transactions is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and is recognised when it isprobable that future economic benefits or service potential will flow to the Construction Industry Development Board and thesebenefits can be measured reliably.The Construction Industry Development Board receives income by way of registration of contractors in accordance withthe Construction Industry Development Board Act, Act 38 of 2000. Due to the nature of the registration of contractors, theConstruction Industry Development Board only recognises this income once a contractor has been assessed with the exceptionof administration fees. Revenue from administration fees is recognised once an application has been received by ConstructionIndustry Development Board and is based on the grade applied for.1.12. FINANCE INCOMEInterest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the interest rate applicable.1.13 LEASED ASSETSFinance leases refers to a contract that transfers the substantial risks, rewards, rights and obligations incident to ownership tothe lessee and is recorded as a purchase of equipment by means of long-term borrowing. All other leases are classified asoperating leases.1.13.1 Operating Leases – expenseLease payments under an operating lease are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevantlease.1.14. Financial INSTRUMENTS1.14.1 Financial AssetsFinancial assets are initially measured at a fair value plus transaction cost. However, transaction costs in respect of financialassets classified as at fair value are expensed in the statement of financial performance.ANNUAL REPORT <strong>2010</strong>/11


118ACCOUNTING POLICIES(continued)1.14. Financial Instruments (continued)1.14.1 Financial Assets (continued)- Cash and cash equivalentsCash and cash equivalents are subsequently measured at armortised cost.- Interest receivedInterest is recognised on the time apportion basis using the effective rate applicable over the period of investment.1.14.2 Financial LiabilitiesFinancial liabilities are initially measured as at fair value plus transaction costs. However, transaction costs in respect of financialliabilities as at fair value through profit or loss are expensed. Recognised on the statement of financial position include trade andother payables.Financial liabilities that are not designated on initial recognition as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss aremeasured at amortised cost.Financial liabilities that are designated on initial recognition as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are measuredat fair value, with changes in fair value being recognised in profit or loss.1.15. Accrual for Leave PayEmployee entitlements to annual leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. An accrual, based on total cost tocompany, is raised for the estimated liabilities as a result of services rendered by employees.1.16. Employee BENEFITSEmployee benefits comprise of leave entitlements, and performance bonuses.There are no post-retirement benefits currently with the Construction Industry Development Board.1.17. Provisions, contingent assets and contingent LIABILITIESProvisions are recognised when Construction Industry Development Board has a present obligation as a result of past event,when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits or service potential will be required to settling theobligation when a reliable estimate can be made of the obligationCONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT BOARDThe amount of a provision is the best estimate of the expenditure expected to be required to settle the present obligation at thereporting date.Where the effect of time value of money is material, the amount of a provision is the present value of the expenditures expectedto be required to settle the obligation.The discount rate is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific tothe liability.


119ACCOUNTING POLICIES(continued)1.17. Provisions, contingent assets and contingent liabilities (continued)Where some or all of the expenditure required to settle a provision is expected to be reimbursed by another party, thereimbursement is recognised when, and only when, it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received if ConstructionIndustry Development Board settles the obligation. The reimbursement is treated as a separate asset. The amount recognisedfor the reimbursement does not exceed the amount of the provision.Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Provisions are reversed if it is nolonger probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits or services potential will be required, to settle theobligation.Where discounting is used, the carrying amount of a provision increases in each period to reflect the passage of time. Thisincrease is recognised as an interest expense.Provision is used only for expenditures for which the provision was originally recognised.Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.If the Construction Industry Development Board has a contract that is onerous, the present obligation (net of recoveries) underthe contract is recognised and measured as a provision.Contingent assets and contingent liabilities are not recognised. Contingencies are disclosed unless the possibility of an inflow/outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote.1.18. Related partiesConstruction Industry Development Board operates in an economic sector currently dominated by entities directly or indirectlyowned by the South African Government. As a consequence of the constitutional independence of the three spheres ofgovernment in South Africa, only entities within the national sphere of government are considered to be related parties.Key management is defined as being individuals with the authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling theactivities of Construction Industry Development Board, including those charged with the governance of the entity in accordancewith legislation in instances where they are required to perform such functions. Construction Industry Development Board regardsall individuals at senior management per the definition of the financial reporting standard.Close members of the family of key management personnel are considered to be those family members who may be expectedto influence, or be influenced by, management in their dealings with Construction Industry Development Board.Only transactions with related parties not at arm’s length or not in the ordinary course of business are disclosed.1.19. Cash flow STATEMENTThe cash flow statement is prepared on the direct method.1.20. Significant Judgments and ESTIMATESThe preparation of <strong>Annual</strong> Financial Statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amountsof assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingents assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reportedamounts of revenue and expense during the reporting periods. Although these estimates are based on management’s bestknowledge of current events and actions that Construction Industry Development Board may undertake in the future, actualresults ultimately may differ from those estimates.ANNUAL REPORT <strong>2010</strong>/11


120ACCOUNTING POLICIES(continued)1.20. Significant Judgments and EstimateS (continued)The presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows in the financial statements of the ConstructionIndustry Development Board is dependant upon and sensitive to the accounting policies, assumptions and estimates that areused as a basis for the preparation of these financial statements. Management has made certain judgments in the process ofapplying the accounting policies. These, together with the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key resources ofthe estimation uncertainty at the financial position date, are discussed below:- Property,Plant and EquipmentThe useful lives of assets are based on management’s estimation. Management considers the impact of changes in technology,customer service requirements, availability of funding to determine the optimum useful life expectation of each individual itemof property and equipment. The estimation of residual values of assets is also based on management’s judgment whether theassets will be sold and what their condition will be at that time.CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT BOARD

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENTThe main risks arising from the cidb’s financial instruments are market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk.Credit riskThe cidb trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties. It is the cidb’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on creditterms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition, receivables balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with theresult that the cidb’s exposure to bad debts is not significant. The maximum exposure is the carrying amounts as disclosed in Note5. There is no significant concentration of credit risk within the cidb.With respect to credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the cidb, which comprise cash and cash equivalents, the cidb’sexposure to credit risk arises from default of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of theseinstruments. The cidb’s cash and cash equivalents are placed with high credit quality financial institutions therefore, the credit riskwith respect to cash and cash equivalents is limited.Exposure to credit riskThe maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date from financial assets was:<strong>2011</strong> <strong>2010</strong>RRCash and cash equivalents 80 811 763 62 313 159Other receivables 1 682 109 1 118 822Total 82 493 872 63 431 981Concentration of credit riskThe following table provides information regarding the credit quality of assets which may expose the cidb to credit risk<strong>2011</strong>NEITHERPAST DUENOR IMPAIREDRPAST DUE BUT NOTIMPAIRED – LESSTHAN 2 MONTHSRPAST DUE BUT NOTIMPAIRED – MORETHAN 2 MONTHSRCARRYING VALUERCash and cash equivalents 80 811 763 80 811 763Other receivables 1 682 109 1 682 109<strong>2010</strong>NEITHERPAST DUENOR IMPAIREDRPAST DUE BUT NOTIMPAIRED – LESSTHAN 2 MONTHSRPAST DUE BUT NOTIMPAIRED – MORETHAN 2 MONTHSRCARRYING VALUERCash and cash equivalents 62 313 159 62 313 159Other receivables 118 160 1 000 662 1 118 822ANNUAL REPORT <strong>2010</strong>/11
