Explanation of Unusual or Specialised Terms

• CIDB Grading (1GB / 0GB): The CIDB grading system evaluates contractors on financial turnover, project execution history, and management capacity. A 1GB rating signifies a contractor capable of managing medium-scale construction projects independently. A 0GB rating applies to emerging contractors who may qualify under government empowerment programmes if they demonstrate sufficient potential and compliance with additional developmental benchmarks.
• Preferential Procurement Points: This is a legally mandated evaluation mechanism used by South African public institutions to promote economic transformation. During tender adjudication, additional scoring weight is applied to bids from historically disadvantaged groups, specifically rewarding enterprises with majority Black ownership to address historical inequalities in the construction sector.
