Explanation of Terms

CIDB Contractor Grading

The Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) grading system is a regulatory framework used in South Africa to classify contractors based on their proven ability to perform construction works. It evaluates factors such as financial turnover, completed projects, and management capacity. The grading ensures that contractors have the requisite resources to deliver projects safely and within budget.

1SL Grading

This denotes a specific classification within the CIDB scale. "SL" typically refers to a specialized category of works, and "1" indicates the entry-level threshold for that category. A 1SL grading permits contractors to undertake projects up to a prescribed monetary limit defined by CIDB regulations. Tenderers must meet this grade or a higher equivalent to be eligible.

PPA

PPA stands for Preferential Procurement Policy Agreement. In this context, it relates to the procurement framework governing the allocation of preference points, specifically supporting the preference granted to residents of the local municipal area as part of broader socio-economic goals.
