Notes on Unusual or Complicated Terms

• PPPFA 2022 (80/20 System): South Africa’s Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act requires public entities to prioritize price (80%) while reserving 20% for transformative objectives such as demographic empowerment, local economic development, and social equity.
• CSD Registration: The Central Suppliers Database is the national government’s unified portal for verifying supplier legitimacy, tax clearance, and historical compliance records.
• MBD 9 & Declaration of Interest: Standard municipal procurement forms designed to disclose potential conflicts of interest and ensure transparent, fair bidding practices.
• Skills Transfer: A common public sector requirement where suppliers must educate end-users on equipment functionality and upkeep, extending the value of the procurement beyond mere delivery.
