On 10 September 2003, government adopted of a Policy Document, titled “Policy to Guide Uniformity in Procurement Reform Processes in Government”

On 05 December 2003 the Framework for Supply Chain Management was published in the Government Gazette as part of Treasury Regulations in terms of section 76 (4) (c).

The PFMA and MFMA gives effect to the Constitutional Requirements in order to bring about sound financial management by:

Replacing the outdated procurement and provisioning processes with uniform simplified procurement procedures

Establishing supportive SCM structures.

Promoting consistency in policy application.

Devolving accountability and full powers to accounting officers/authorities. Consistent with the aims of the PFMA and MFMA that accountability and responsibility for all expenditure vest with accounting officers/authorities

The above initiatives resulted in the introduction of the INTEGRATED SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT function in government.

Legislative Environment

Section 217(I) of The Constitution provides the basis for procurement by determining that:

“When an organ of state in the national, provincial or local sphere of government, or any other institution identified in national legislation, contracts for goods and services, it must do so in accordance with a system which is fair, equitable, transparent, competitive and cost-effective”.

The PFMA and MFMA with their respective regulations give effect to this prescript.

Legislative Environment

Section 217(I) of The Constitution further confers:

an obligation for national legislation to prescribe a framework providing for preferential procurement to address the social and economic imbalances of the past.

The Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act (PPPFA) of 2000 and its accompanying Regulations were promulgated to achieve these goals. (This Act incorporated the 80/20 and 90/10 preference point systems.)

Current Preferential Procurement System

Page 13: DRAFT PREFERENTIAL PROCUREMENT REGULATIONS

13

The PPPFA and its associated Regulations incorporatethe 90/10 and 80/20 preference point systems

10 or 20 points make provision for the promotion ofequity ownership by HDIs or the specific RDP goals

Allows the state to pay a maximum of 11.1% and 25% premiums respectively.

A maximum of 90 and 80 points represents price.

Contracts awarded to the bidder who scores the highest total points (points for price added to points for RDP goals)

Preference Points System

Page 14: DRAFT PREFERENTIAL PROCUREMENT REGULATIONS

90 / 10 Preference Points System

Compulsory for Procurement > R500 000

Maximum of 90 Points for Price

Maximum of 10 Points for promotion of HDIs and / or Specific RDP goals

Page 15: DRAFT PREFERENTIAL PROCUREMENT REGULATIONS

15

80 / 20 Preference Points System

Compulsory for procurement = > R30 000 - R500 000

May be used for <R30 000 (database of suppliers for price quotations)

Maximum of 80 Points for Price

Maximum of 20 Points for promotion of HDIs and / or specific RDP goals.

Preference Points System

Ambiguity was identified between PPPFA and BBBEEA thus alignment of the two legislations was necessary.

Some of the identified shortcomings were but not limited to:

Inconsistency in the policy application The definition of HDI was too broad leading to

huge fronting BBBEE and PPPFA were out of sync

A work group was established between National Treasury and the BEE unit of the DTI to align the Preferential Procurement Regulations with the BBBEE Act, i.e. Preferential Procurement Regulations to be revised.

ALIGNMENT OF PPPFA WITH

BBBEE ACT

Page 18: DRAFT PREFERENTIAL PROCUREMENT REGULATIONS

Repeal PPPF Act

New Treasury Regulations would incorporate SCM Regulatory Framework (including preferential procurement)

The same process will be applied for the municipalities

Long term legislative process for repeal PPPFA

Page 19: DRAFT PREFERENTIAL PROCUREMENT REGULATIONS

19

For immediate, short term retain the PPPFA and amend Preferential Procurement Regulations to be brought in line with the aims of the B-BBEE Act using the

balance scorecard methodology as prescribed by the B-BBEE Act and its Codes of Good Practice

Use definitions contained in the B-BBEE Act and Codes of practice eg. Black people vis a vis HDIs

Use Verification Certificates issued in terms of the B-BBEE Scorecard to calculate points out of 10 or 20

Immediate Alignment Initiatives

Page 20: DRAFT PREFERENTIAL PROCUREMENT REGULATIONS

20

Elements of the B-BBEE Codes of Good Practice Balance Scorecard that would be used to determine B-BBEE level of contribution are as follows:

Black ownership

Management control

Employment Equity

Skills development

Preferential procurement from BEE suppliers

Enterprise development

Socio-economic development

These elements include black ownership and the RDP goals

B-BBEE Codes of Good Practice Balance Scorecard

Draft Preferential Procurement Regulations

Points to be awarded to a bidder based on his or her B-BBEE status level

Eg. Level 1 contributor would receive 20 points whilst level 4 contributor would receive 12 points out of a maximum of 20 points.

Level 1 contributor would receive 10 points whilst level 4 contributor would receive 5 points out of a maximum of 10 points.

Calculation of points to be based on the B-BBEE ratings of a bidder as follows:
