This ensures the training meets quality benchmarks and qualifies learners for formal industry certification.

80/20 or 90/10 Preference Point System: A public procurement evaluation framework where 80 or 90 points are allocated to price competitiveness, and the remaining 20 or 10 points are awarded for specific socio-economic goals, primarily B-BBEE status levels. The applicable system depends on contract value thresholds, with lower prices typically scoring higher under the 80/20 model.
