Explanation of Key Terms

• CIDB Grading (1EB/1GB): A South African contractor classification system that evaluates a firm’s financial capacity, historical turnover, and technical execution ability. Grade 1EB typically covers smaller civil works, while 1GB applies to building construction up to a defined monetary threshold. These grades ensure contractors possess adequate resources and expertise for the project scale.
• 51% Black Ownership Preference: A statutory procurement mechanism under South African law that grants additional scoring advantages to businesses where black people hold majority equity. This policy promotes economic inclusion and equitable access to public sector contracts for historically disadvantaged groups.
