This initiative was based on a request of Cabinet following perceptions that the South African Public Service has become a major purchaser of consulting services. The aim of the study was to improve the understanding of Government on the underlying reasons for the apparent increased dependency on the use of consultants in the Public Service and the impact of the use of consultants on the transformational and service delivery challenges that the Public Service faces.
