Understanding Preferential Procurement
Explanation of Preferential Procurement and Its Importance in ESD and B-BBEE Compliance
Preferential procurement is a crucial component of Enterprise and Supplier Development (ESD) and Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) compliance. It involves prioritizing the purchase of goods and services from suppliers that contribute to BEE procurement targets. By implementing a robust preferential procurement strategy, businesses can enhance their B-BBEE scorecard, promote supplier diversity, and facilitate meaningful transformation within the South African economy.
