Explanation of Key Terms & Requirements

• PPPFA Regulations 2011: The Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act dictates the evaluation methodology. Points are allocated based on price competitiveness and socio-economic preference targets, ensuring fair and regulated award processes.
• CIDB Grading: The Construction Industry Development Board classification system measures contractor capability and financial capacity. Though primarily used for construction, it is applied here to verify supplier reliability for supply contracts.
• B-BBEE Status Level: Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment rating used to calculate preference points during evaluation, incentivising participation from historically disadvantaged enterprises.
• Terminology Equivalence: The terms “Bid” and “Bidder” are formally defined as interchangeable with “Tender” and “Tenderer” across all related documentation to maintain legal consistency.
