Key Terms & Clarifications

80/20 Preference Point System: A South African public procurement evaluation method where 80 points are allocated to price competitiveness and 20 points are reserved for specific socio-economic goals (e.g., black ownership, women/youth/disability enterprise participation). Bidders must submit verifiable proof to claim these points; failure to do so results in zero allocation for this category.

MBD Forms: Standardized municipal bidding templates mandated for all South African local government procurements. They serve to verify administrative compliance, declare potential conflicts of interest, confirm clean past supply chain management conduct, and certify that bids were determined independently to prevent collusive bidding.

CSD & TCS Verification: Government-maintained registers used to validate a supplier’s legal standing and tax compliance. Bids lacking valid CSD registration or a current TCS PIN/PIN code are automatically deemed non-responsive.

Public Liability Insurance: A risk mitigation requirement ensuring financial coverage for third-party bodily injury or property damage that may occur during contract execution. Coverage must be secured before the contract is formally awarded.
