Explanation of Key Terms

• PPPFA (80/20 System): The Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act regulates South African public procurement. The 80/20 model allocates 80% of evaluation points to price competitiveness and 20% to socio-economic preferences, such as support for historically disadvantaged enterprises.
• CSD: The Central Supplier Database is the official national registry for all suppliers transacting with South African government departments. Registration is a strict eligibility requirement.
• SBD3.1: A standard government bidding form used to capture itemised pricing structures. Submitted prices must be firm and non-negotiable.
• PA:16: A specific allocation form under PPPFA regulations used to declare and claim preference points for designated developmental targets and historical groups.
• BCCI Certificate: Referenced as a mandatory compliance document valid at closing. In government procurement contexts, this typically denotes a tax clearance or business compliance verification certificate confirming legal and financial standing.
