Explanation of Key Terms & Conditions

80/20 Preference Point System: A standard South African public procurement evaluation method. Bids are scored out of 100 points, with 80 points allocated to competitive pricing and 20 points awarded for meeting specific socio-economic transformation targets, such as black economic empowerment, disability ownership, or local supplier development.

MBD Forms: Standardised Municipal Bidding Documents required by South African government entities. MBD 4 addresses conflict-of-interest declarations, MBD 6.1 claims preference points, MBD 8 verifies past supply chain conduct, and MBD 9 certifies that bids were determined independently to prevent collusive bidding.

CSD & TCS: The Central Supplier Database is the national registry for pre-qualified suppliers. The Tax Compliance Status PIN is issued by the revenue authority to confirm a bidder’s tax obligations are up to date. Both are mandatory eligibility criteria.
