• Training must be recognised for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points allocated by the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA).
• Bids must be submitted electronically and include all mandatory returnable schedules and compliance declarations.

Skills & Qualifications Requirements

The provider must demonstrate proven organisational capability and instructional expertise in delivering accredited PMP® training. Instructors and support staff must possess advanced proficiency in contemporary project management frameworks, assessment strategies, and adult learning facilitation.

Explanation of Unusual or Complicated Terms

• Predictive, Adaptive, and Hybrid Approaches: These refer to distinct project delivery methodologies. Predictive (traditional/Waterfall) relies on upfront planning and sequential execution. Adaptive (Agile) utilises iterative cycles, continuous feedback, and flexibility. Hybrid integrates elements of both to manage complex or evolving project environments effectively.
• ECSA CPD Points: Continuing Professional Development credits formally recognised by the Engineering Council of South Africa. Allocation validates the training's relevance for professional registration, regulatory compliance, and career progression in engineering and technical fields.
• B-BBEE Preference Points: A South African public procurement scoring mechanism that awards additional evaluation points based on a supplier’s Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment rating and demographic ownership profiles (e.g., women-owned, youth-owned, or persons with disabilities-owned enterprises).
