Preferential Procurement

A preferential procurement policy is in place which stipulates our objective of annually increasing the proportion of procurement from suitably qualified vendors. The policy is in line with the targets stipulated in the Codes. Suppliers are requested to provide proof substantiating their B-BBEE rating and those with a higher rating are given preference in line with the policy.


Enterprise Development

We assist smaller businesses through our enterprise development programme. Qualifying enterprises which meet the compliance criteria but which have gaps in terms of their delivery capacity or financial capacity may be selected as enterprise development beneficiaries. The objective of the programme is to increase the potential procurement transaction volumes while transferring skills to develop highly competent and competitive suppliers.

Formal agreements will be signed with suitably qualified enterprise development beneficiaries. The duration of development programmes is two years, at which stage the process will be reviewed.
