Explanation of Key Terms

These preference points reward bidders who meet designated empowerment criteria, such as Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) status, ownership demographics, and enterprise development initiatives.

Functionality Scored Out of 100: A technical evaluation mechanism that assesses the viability, quality, and compliance of a bidder's proposed solution before financial consideration. It ensures that only technically sound proposals advance to the price evaluation stage.
