The Garden Route District Municipality (GRDM) Council has appointed AON (underwritten by Lion of Africa) during 2015/2016, following a competitive bidding process (Tender E/02/15-16).
AON was then appointed for a 3-year period to provide insurance coverage to the Council. On 27 June 2019, the GRDM Council discussed and resolved the extension of a twelve month Service Level Agreement (from 1 July 2019 – 30 June 2020) between AON (PTY) Ltd and GRDM. This took place with due regard to the requirements of Section 116 of the Municipal Finance Management Act 56 of 2003.
AON is willing to continue to render the contracted insurance services to GRDM for the proposed 12-month extension period.
In terms of Section 116 of the Municipal Finance Management Act, Act 56 of 2003, a contract of agreement procured through the Supply Chain Management policy, may be amended by the parties, but only after the local community has been given reasonable notice of the intention to amend the contract or agreement.”
Henceforth, local community members are invited to provide comments, if any, in writing, to Mr Monde Stratu, Municipal Manager, Garden Route District Municipality, 54 York Street, George or via e-mail info@gardenroute.gov.za on or before 11 July 2019.
