Treasury Circulars and Guidelines related to Supply Chain Management
1) National Department of Health and National Treasury are to be notified of procurement transactions
exceeding R15 Million;
2) Notify National Treasury of variation amounts in excess of:

a. 20% or R20 Million (including applicable taxes) for construction related orders; and

b. 15% or R15 Million (including applicable taxes) for goods/service related orders
The materiality level mentioned above was calculated using the guidance practice note of the National Treasury.
Using these guidance parameters below, the SAMRC materiality level calculation outcomes are as follows:

CALCULATED
ELEMENT % TO BE APPLIED AUDITED VALUE AT MATERIALITY
RANGE AGAINST R VALUE 31 MARCH 2023 & SIGNIFICANCE
VALUE
Total Assets 1.49% R1 009 310 825 R15 000 000
(1%-2%)

The SAMRC materiality and significance value will be R15 Million based on the percentage range of the
total asset element and the significant fluctuations in the month-to-month total asset value. This is the most
stable element, given the performance statement outcomes associated with the current economic climate
challenges.
