About 80 Sanral tenders worth R11bn that are yet to close will be affected by the board’s decision to withdraw the new policy.
The SOE’s board and executive management have refuted claims that its preferential procurement policy for tenders has created tensions within the agency.
A controversial decision by Sanral to modify its contracting policies has led to the cancellation of contracts worth R17-billion.
The news in the past about Sanral was focused on the battle between Outa, the Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse, and the Gauteng e-toll system. But more recently, a new battle has opened up over a new BEE scoring system.
Although Sanral acknowledged that some staff did not comply with a new tender scoring system, it denied tensions between its board and senior management.
