As part of APLU’s ongoing project of supporting public procurement (law) reform in South Africa, we will host an in-person workshop in Johannesburg on 4 to 5 June 2026.
The aim of the workshop is to create a space for deliberation on the draft General Public Procurement Regulations, 2026 published by National Treasury and open for public comment until 15 June 2026. By convening this workshop, APLU strives to sustain the South African public procurement community of practice and to facilitate a co-creation approach to crafting South Africa’s new public procurement system. The timing of the workshop was deliberately chosen to enable participants to refine their submissions on the draft regulations ahead of the submission deadline of 15 June. The workshop is complimented by a 10-part webinar series through which experts on various aspects of the draft procurement regulations discuss the draft (click here for more details on the series).
The workshop programme will entail sessions focusing on distinct parts of the draft regulations. In each session one or more experts will introduce the relevant part and highlight some considerations for discussion. The sessions will allow ample time for discussion among participants.
The workshop will be hosted at the Premier Hotel OR Tambo. Registration is open to anyone. The registration fee for the two full days is R250 (including lunch on both days). Given the limited capacity, bookings can only be secured once payment has been received.
Any queries can be directed to Ms. Yolisa Majali at yolisa@sun.ac.za.
