Explanation of Key Terms

• PPPFA 2022 (80/20 Formula): Refers to the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act Regulations. The 80/20 formula dictates that 80% of evaluation points are allocated to price competitiveness, while 20% are reserved for specific socio-economic goals, such as enterprise development, empowerment, and sustainability targets.
• PA Forms: Standard South African government procurement forms used to claim preference points under the PPPFA. The PA 16 form specifically captures preference point claims, requiring verified supporting documentation per PA-03 guidelines to validate eligibility for the 20% goal allocation.
