Estimates of the Provincial Revenue and Expenditure (EPRE) %u2013 2025/26 Financial Year%u2022 Congruent to above, Programme 2: Provincial Secretariat for Police Services, shows outflow of R1.913 million, which has been reprioritised out of the programme, largely decreased from promotional material and venues under Goods and Services to cater for the tools of trades for the departmental officials. Cost containment measures are currently put in place and will continue to be implemented over the 2025 MTEF period. The departmental budget committee will continue to play an active role in ensuring that programmes are continuously being reviewed and that the spending is monitored against the projected targets, thus ensuring any pressures are addressed through reprioritisation. 5 PROCUREMENT The department will, through its institutionalised supply chain management unit, continue to procure goods and services from the designated groups to accomplish the predetermined government objectives. Equally so, procurement of goods and services from locally based suppliers in tandem with the provincial Local Economic Development (LED) Policy Framework shall remain one of its priorities. In support of designated groups, the department will attempt to spend 40 per cent, 30 per cent, 7 per cent, 3 per cent of the appropriated budget allocated for goods and services excluding spending provision on contractual obligation, by procuring goods and services from business enterprises owned by women, business enterprises owned by youth, businesses owned by persons living with disabilities and businesses owned by military veterans, respectively. Some of the projects planned to be procured during the year in question include but not limited to; rendering of cleaning and hygienic service to the department of Community Safety over a mediumterm period (Multi-Year procurement), the acquisition and delivery of Information Communication Technology equipment (laptops) for the staff etc. The procurement processes will be aligned to the department%u2019s procurement plan and will constantly be monitored throughout the year to ensure the procurement of goods and services aligns to the planned activities. 6 RECEIPTS AND FINANCING 6.1 Summary of receipts Table 2: Summary of departmental receiptsOutcome Main appropriationAdjusted appropriation Revised estimate Medium-term estimates % change from 2024/25R thousand 2021/22 2022/23 2023/24 2025/26 2026/27 2027/28Equitable share 102 762 107 078 123 729 143 778 140 292 140 292 150 668 139 541 144 779 7.4Conditional grants 1 458 1 414 %u2013 1 062 1 062 1 062 3 307 %u2013 %u2013 211.4Social Sector Expanded Public Works Programme Incentive Grant for Provinces 1 458 1 414 %u2013 1 062 1 062 1 062 %u2013 %u2013 %u2013 (100.0)Expanded Public Works Programme Intergrated Grant for Provinces %u2013 %u2013 %u2013 %u2013 %u2013 %u2013 3 307 %u2013 %u2013 %u2013Total receipts 104 220 108 492 123 729 144 840 141 354 141 354 153 975 139 541 144 779 8.9of whichDepartmental receipts 84 348 162 64 64 82 67 73 70 (18.3)2024/25Table 2 shows the sources of funding for Community Safety from 2021/22 to 2027/28. It also compares actual and estimated receipts over the financial years. The department receives a provincial allocation, as well as funding for the Expanded Public Works Programme. The latter is only allocated for a single year of the MTEF at this stage. On overall, the departmental receipts increased from R104.220 million in 2021/22 financial year to a revised estimate of R141.354 million in 2024/25 financial year, mainly due to provision made for compensation of employees for the creation of Safety Partnership Directorate as well as provision that was made for the Cost-of-Living Adjustments. In 2025/26, the receipts are expected to increase 865
