Explanation of Key Terms

• CPIC Certificates: Refers to the Contractor Performance Information Certification issued by the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB). While primarily associated with construction, in this procurement context it functions as a standardized verification tool confirming a supplier’s historical performance, regulatory compliance, and eligibility to participate in state tenders.
• Preference Points System (Specific Goals): A statutory procurement framework that allocates up to 20 of the total 100 evaluation points to bidders who advance designated socio-economic objectives. These goals typically include promoting local manufacturing, supporting black-owned enterprises, and encouraging women participation. Points are contingent upon submitting verified proof with the bid; failure to provide documentation results in zero allocation for this category.
