Clarification of Specialised Terms

• CIDB Grading (1CE): A South African Construction Industry Development Board classification that assesses a contractor’s financial turnover, risk capacity, and relevant experience. A 1CE rating indicates suitability for medium-sized civil engineering contracts.
• EME/QSE: Stands for Empowered Major Enterprise (EME) and Qualifying Small Enterprise (QSE). These are business categories under South Africa’s Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) framework, requiring at least 51% black ownership to qualify for preferential procurement scoring.
• Preference Points System: A municipal procurement evaluation method that awards additional scoring points to qualifying black-owned enterprises (up to 51 points) and grants an extra 10 points to bidders who physically reside within the Kwadukuza municipality. These points directly influence the final contract award decision.
