“…This information is not new given the plethora of literature concerning targeted procurement, local content development, social value, etc. [41,42]. Although, such mandates are replete within both developing country and developed country contexts; in the former, they seem to align with socio-economic SD dimensions, unlike in the latter where the environmental SD dimension was gaining an upper hand until recently.…”

Infrastructure delivery processes possess the potential to negatively influence sustainability. To curb the incidence of these processes within infrastructure delivery systems, the enthronement of an effective project management and governance framework becomes imperative. This led to the emergence of literature on sustainable project management practice. However, studies seeking to modify existing project governance structures in like manner remain limited. This study contributes to this emerging discourse on the utility of project governance competencies in facilitating sustainable infrastructure delivery. To achieve this objective, this study identifies critical success factors central to the design of effective sustainability governance structures of a typical infrastructure delivery (ID) system with the assistance of a cybernetic system framework—the viable infrastructure delivery systems model (VIDM). Adopting a qualitative multi-case study research design, this study deploys semi-structured interviews for data elicitation through purposively sampled interviewees within the identified cases and a document review. Qualitative content analysis (QCA) was deployed for data analysis. Findings from this study provide success factors for designing effective sustainability governance structures for ID systems. It is expected that the findings from this study will contribute to the emerging discourse concerning sustainability governance of ID systems.

The recent #FeesMustFall campaign coupled with the declining funding of universities calls for effective management of limited resources. Since procurement is the largest expense accrual function in any organisation, these institutions have more obligation of being responsive to the management of limited resources. The purpose of this article is to determine the factors affecting the effective management of the limited resources in South African comprehensive universities. A qualitative approach using multiple cases was adopted. Face-to-face interviews were conducted using open-ended questions. The findings revealed that the effective management of limited resources in the South African comprehensive universities is affected by the policies, non-compliance, thresholds, supplier rotation and centralisation. Consequently, these institutions do not contribute sufficiently to the university's overall objectives for competitive advantage and sustainability. It is recommended that South African comprehensive universities streamline operations, remove internal barriers, impose strict compliance measures and communicate the vision across the university.
