  4. Vision & Mission VISION To be a leading infrastructure and property management service provider for the state MISSION The Mission of the PMTE is to optimize cost, speed, quality, flexibility and reliability underpinned by fair and ethical dealing for effective delivery of Public Services. PORTFOLIO COMMITTEE

  5. 1. Introduction • Eight consecutive years of under-performance, evidenced by progressively worse audit outcomes, culminating in two successive years of disclaimers, indicated a clear and pressing need to restore the DPW to organisational health across all perspectives. A turnaround strategy was accordingly launched in 2012. • The creation of a fully-functional Property Management Entity within the Department, as approved by National Treasury in 2006, is at the centre of the turnaround strategy. • The operationalization of the Property Management Trading Entity (PMTE) is a critical and high-profile component of the turnaround plan as it will house the State’s assets, provide property management, facilities management and other services, including management of a GRAP-compliant financial system, as well as be the primary interface with client departments. PORTFOLIO COMMITTEE

  6. 1. Introduction (Cont.) Prior attempts at change: projects and interventions since 2000: PORTFOLIO COMMITTEE

  7. 1. Introduction (Cont.) • The reasons for the lack of traction of prior projects can be summarised as follows: • High staff turnover: (leadership) • Poor management & lack of accountability. • Lack of implementation capability and capacity. • No appropriate structure and clear role definitions; business model • Structure not aligned with internal value chain => fragmented organisation. • Lack of clear strategic intent. • Internal power plays and bureaucracy. • Lack of inclusion, consultation and change management (Culture and attitude) • Inadequate resourcing and lack of systems support; lack of innovation • Slow decision-making and approval processes KEY FOCUS AREAS IN THE NEXT FIN YEAR: 2014/15 • Property Management • Facilities Management PORTFOLIO COMMITTEE

  8. 2. Legacy2.1 Property Management • Leasing out – neglected area (policy decisions) => aversion of using state property for state needs => property vacant and derelict. • Client departments use out of state property (private sector leasing) – properties are not properly maintained. • No property business can function efficiently, effectively or properly at such a nominal rental (R15/m2 ) - Market related rental will ensure that costs for facilities maintenance are provided for. • If the state is required to make a 10% return on investment, it would require a fundamental review. We are in the process of approaching NT to endorse market related rental. Two significant benefits: • Utilising state property at fair price – ensure sustainability (proper maintenance) • Ensure break even or surplus to be used to drive infrastructure development (new properties, in form of government precincts – especially small towns and rural development) PORTFOLIO COMMITTEE

  9. 2. Legacy2.1 Property Management To achieve above – • First priority is to use existing state facilities, where they exist • The state to invest in refurbishment of properties it currently owns, either through state resources or allowing private sector to invest in such buildings • Allow such refurbished buildings for state to use, failing which to lease it to private sector, based on long term contract basis, to ensure profitability. • We have developed a standardised lease agreement – to drive state maximizing its properties for service delivery or to increase its capital for further infrastructure development. • Working with NT and the newly created Chief Procurement Office (CPO), we are now in a position to benchmark leasing of properties (in and out), on the basis of price indexing, for the very first time. “The Rode Report” gives the benchmark for property prices – very limited in that it only provide for urban areas. PORTFOLIO COMMITTEE

  10. 2. Legacy2.1 Property Management • Work undertaken => provides us with information to determine prices for various categories of properties in different locations in the Country. • We anticipate, that this would take us a further 6-9 monthsto introduce an base price index. • Benefit of price indices => state will be in position to maximize its buying power of lease properties (current expenditure of 3,2 billion). • Using price indices, we can negotiate preferential rates way below the market, in favour of longer-term lease agreements. • State will be able to setan acceptable annual escalation rate. • NT has advised/directed => use the rate of 5,5% in September 2013. PORTFOLIO COMMITTEE

  11. 2. Legacy2.1 Property Management Efficiency • We have found some properties that we are leasing, that have no client departments. => The cancellation will save the state money • Renegotiating contracts to match the space that we are currently using which is less than what is stipulated in the contract => Savings • The report of the Audit of Leases that we have jointly conducted with NT, will be finalised in Mid-February 2014 PORTFOLIO COMMITTEE

  12. 2. Legacy2.2 Facilities Management • In any property management entity, facilities management is core to the business. • At the heart of facilities management, is a dire lack of a state infrastructure maintenance strategynor adequate fundingfor the maintenance of such. • The PMTE must ensure the National Infrastructure Maintenance Strategy (NIMS) for DPW properties is approved, funded and implemented. Such will start with DPW. State Properties • Some state properties are in a poor condition and are deteriorating. The asset verification process, will give us more information on the state of our properties. • PPP could be utilised to refurbish and rehabilitate buildings to enhance service delivery. PORTFOLIO COMMITTEE

  13. 2. Legacy2.2 Facilities Management • As previously stated, some properties of the state (various spheres of Government) are not properly maintained. • We are aware that there is a lack of funding for the refurbishment and maintenance of such facilities. Private sector properties • Inadequate policies and practices=> resulted in many leases expiring and not being replaced with valid agreements. • As a result, some private landlordsclaim that buildings cannot be refurbished/maintained. • OHSA violations and lock-outs have occurred. • The state needs to act decisively against such landlords. • The PMTE will have to ensure that lease properties are properly maintained to provide decent facilities for public servants, and more importantly, for the public who rely on these services. PORTFOLIO COMMITTEE

  14. 3. Progress Report 3.1 PMTE Operationalization • As at February 2013, only a Chief Directorate of Finance was in place. • At the beginning of the financial year a firm decision was taken to operationalize PMTE • A Transitional Head of the PMTE and Head of Finance have been appointed to drive the full operationalization of the PMTE. • In August 2013 a workshop was held with the Minister and DG to accelerate the process of PMTE operationalization, as well as the creation of an aspirational view of the PMTE in the long-term. PORTFOLIO COMMITTEE

  15. 3. Progress Report 3.1 PMTE Operationalization (Cont.) • Key decision with NT and DPSA that PMTE would, over time, function as a Government Component rather than as a discrete Trading Entity subject to: • Feasibility Study comprising an institutional Options Assessment and a Business Case for a Government Component. • The PMTE Operational Plan for 2014/15 has been developed and creates a programme for the full operationalization of PMTE and its key service delivery improvements, and will drive enhanced delivery of the Department’s mandate across its property and immovable asset base. • The staged operationalization of the PMTE will take time to complete, but it is envisaged that within two years it will have been achieved and a transition to the Government Component will have commenced. PORTFOLIO COMMITTEE

  16. 3. Progress Report 3.1 PMTE Operationalization (Cont.) • A team of property management specialists have been recruited through the South African Institute for Black Property Practitioners(SAIBPP) to assist with PMTE operationalization. • Partnership was established with STANLIB to assist with benchmarking against private sector best property management practices. • An operating model with a matrix management approach within a portfolio arrangement, has been developed and approved. • The high-level business case and feasibility study for operationalization of PMTE as Government Component has been developed. PORTFOLIO COMMITTEE

  17. 3. Progress Report 3.1 PMTE Operationalization (Cont.) • Strategy and plan to improve debt collection and to reduce overdraft is being executed. • The new accounting and billing system has been procured. It will go live on the 01 April 2014 – itemised billing as required by client departments. • In order to address non-paying departments, • Time billing of clients according to landlords’ billing DPW (1 April 2014). • CFO forum • The Economic Sectors and Employment Cluster was consulted on 06 November 2013. The cluster recommended that implications on provinces should be articulated in the PMTE Operational Plan for 2014/15 and the Feasibility Study for the Establishment of a PMGC. PORTFOLIO COMMITTEE

  18. 3. Progress Report 3.1 PMTE Operationalization (Cont.) • Transfer of Immovable Assets from DPW to PMTE was approved in October 2013. • Transfer of functions from DPW to PMTE was approved in January 2014 • Irregular expenditure – leases – special dispensation for leases • Lease Review Project has been completed. • Interns have been recruited to assist with the review process of previous expenditure to confirm other irregular expenditure besides the reported ones. • Interns assist with verification of lease information against PMIS • High level Cabinet Memorandum on the business case for the operationalization of the PMTE as a Government Component has been developed, and will be presented to Cabinet in Februuary 2014.
