Explanation of Key Procurement Terms

80/20 Preference Point System: A South African public procurement evaluation framework where 80 points are awarded based on price competitiveness, and 20 points are allocated to socio-economic transformation objectives, primarily Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) status and local economic participation.

Annexure MBD 6.1: A mandatory government declaration form used to verify and claim B-BBEE status points. Failure to complete this annexure thoroughly results in disqualification from receiving preference points.

Proof of Locality: Documentation required to substantiate claims that the bidder’s business operations, workforce, or economic activities are based within the Swartland Municipal area, qualifying for additional preference points under local supplier development policies.

Informal Tender: A streamlined procurement process designed for lower-value contracts. It typically requires submitted quotations rather than extensive formal bidding packages, though all submissions remain subject to municipal conditions, evaluation criteria, and contractual obligations.
