Key Principles of Tendering

"With the recently revised BBBEE Tendering laws, it would be advantageous for companies to align themselves in order to be more competitive. I recently participated in the Key Principles of Tendering workshop and would highly recommend attending their well structured and informative seminar." - George Harris, Leads 2 Business, Content Manager

Without a doubt SA's Premier Tendering Workshop

Book early and get R200.00 off!*

The Procurement Rules have changed on 7 December 2011 and all Suppliers are required to comply with these regulations in order to be considered for Tenders.

Most bidders do not focus on making their "Bids Compliant", with too much attention been given to their products and services at the expense of ensuring that they've complied with making their bid a "Responsive Bid".

More than 1000 people have been exposed to this dynamic and interactive one-day workshop!

- Win Tenders by Learning how to effectively complete “Responsive Bid Documents”!

- Learn how tenders are Issued, Evaluated and Awarded.

- Classroom exercises will show you how tenders are scored.

- Improve your Tendering Skills to submit “Acceptable Bids” and Win more Tenders!

- Tenders are evaluated on “Price and Preference Points”. The workshop will show you how to claim yours.

- How to position your Tender under the 90:10 and the 80:20 Points' Systems.

What does these new laws mean for your company?

Government Tenders are now aligned with the broad based economic empowerment (B-BBEE) codes and locally manufactured goods will in certain instances receive a preference over imported products.

The BEE Codes will be amended to strengthen access to procurement opportunities through the now approved and aligned Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act (PPPFA) regulations. The proposed amendments are also looking at ways to strengthen efforts to combat the fraudulent practice of fronting.

One of the most significant proposed changes to the BEE Codes will be a higher allocation of points on the scorecard for Enterprise Development.

This will result in companies receiving a lower score than their previous rating if they do not focus on getting involved with enterprise development, despite them having high levels of black ownership. This means that they will lose out on tenders for not complying with the Enterprise Development element.
