PopularHighlights: BEE Codes of Good Practice (Part 1)
by bernievn | Jan 21, 2005 | Preferential Procurement | 10 |
Supplier complaints that "different South African customer rate our BEE (black Economic Empowerment) efforts differently" and "each time we think that we've met the criteria, everything changes", might be coming to and end soon with the recent introduction of the government's BEE Codes of Good Practice.. I've tried to put the salient points of the new code as they apply to South African Procurement Professionals in this article. This includes an on-line calculator which you can use to calculate your Supplier's BBBEE rating. (or send the article to them so they can do it themselves!) Links to the various detail documents as supplier by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) are also inlcuded.
