(1) and (2)
The PPE supplies and other COVID-19-related expenditure in the selected municipalities were mainly masks, gloves, hand sanitizers, safety shields and infrared thermometers.
In most cases, a competitive bidding process was conducted, however, in cases where it could not take place a deviation process was followed, or quotations were sourced.
In general, there was a stimulation in the local economy since most municipalities utilized local companies for the purchase of their PPE expenditure. There was also a direct benefit from the PPE expenditure to the community in that most of the municipalities reported to providing food parcels to their residences and to homeless people.
