Common questions

How many Eastern Cape tenders require B-BBEE certificate or affidavit?

11 open right now, out of 430 on record for Eastern Cape. The list below shows open tenders first, and the numbers change daily as notices are published and close.

Can I bid on a Eastern Cape tender without B-BBEE certificate or affidavit?

Not on these ones — where a tender lists B-BBEE certificate or affidavit as a requirement, a bid without it is normally disqualified at the administrative stage before anyone reads your pricing. Tenders that do not ask for it are a separate list; browse the other requirement pages to find them.

Do I need a B-BBEE certificate to bid?

You need proof of status. Missing it rarely disqualifies you outright, but it costs you preference points, and on a close bid those points decide the award.

Do I need a verification certificate, or is an affidavit enough?

An Exempted Micro Enterprise, meaning annual turnover under R10 million, can use a sworn affidavit signed before a Commissioner of Oaths. It is free and carries the same weight as a certificate. A Qualifying Small Enterprise, R10 million to R50 million, may also use an affidavit unless it is black-owned and claiming an enhanced level. Above R50 million you need verification by a SANAS-accredited agency.

What does the 80/20 or 90/10 split mean?

It is how the buyer weights price against preference. On lower-value tenders, 80 points go to price and 20 to specific goals including B-BBEE; on higher-value tenders it is 90 and 10. A strong B-BBEE level cannot rescue an uncompetitive price, but it regularly separates two close bids.
