1. Definitions

1. The following terms shall be interpreted as indicated:

1.1 “Acceptable bid” means any bid, which, in all respects, complies with the

specifications and conditions of the bid as set out in the bid document.

1.2 “Bid” means a written offer in a prescribed or stipulated form in response to an

invitation by an organ of State for the provision of goods, works or services.

1.3 “Black enterprise” means an enterprise that is 50,1% owned by black persons

and where there is substantial management control. Ownership refers to

economic interest while management refers to the membership of any board or

similar governing body of the enterprise.

1.4 “Black empowered enterprise” means an enterprise that is at least 25,1%

owned by black persons and where there is substantial management control.

Ownership refers to economic interests. Management refers to executive

directors. This is whether the black enterprise has control or not.

1.5 “Black people” includes all African, Coloured or Indian persons who are South

African citizens by birth or by descent or who were naturalised prior to the

commencement of the constitution in 1993. In addition, the term also includes

black people who became South African citizens after the constitution’s

commencement but who would have been able to be naturalised prior to this,

were it not for the Apartheid laws which prohibited naturalisation of certain

persons. This means that an African, Coloured or Indian person who was not a

South African citizen before the commencement of the constitution in 1993 but

who would have been entitled to apply to be naturalised prior to 1993, will also be

considered a black person and therefore a beneficiary of BEE.

1.6 “Black woman-owned enterprise” means an enterprise with at least 25,1%

representation of black women within the black equity and management portion.

1.7 “Closing time” means the date and hour specified in the bidding documents for

the receipt of bids.

1.8 “Comparative price” means the price after the factors of a non-firm price and all

unconditional discounts that can be utilised have been taken into consideration.

1.9 “Community or broad-based enterprise” means an enterprise that has an

empowerment shareholder who represents a broad base of members such as a

local community or where the benefits support a target group, for example black

women, people living with disabilities, the youth and workers. Shares are held via

direct equity, non-profit organisations and trusts.

Benefits from the shareholding should in a measurable sense be directed

towards the uplifting of the community through job creation, welfare, skills

development, entrepreneurship and human rights. At the same time, directors

and management of groups should significantly comprise black persons.

These arrangements are appropriate in situations where the activities or

operations of an enterprise or industry directly impact on a community or are

located in a community, or may benefit a community. Notable examples are large

industrial projects, mining and tourism. Other instances, which do assist in

broadening the shareholder base, are employee share ownership schemes;

these are a viable empowerment shareholder option. In this and other

circumstances, these arrangements should not detract from the ability of the

shareholder to exercise significant influence or control over the operations of the

business.

1.10 “Consortium or joint venture” means an association of persons for the

purpose of combining their expertise, property, capital, efforts, skills and

knowledge in an activity for the execution of a contract.

1.11 “Contract” means the written agreement entered into between the purchaser

and the supplier, as recorded in the contract form signed by the parties, including

all attachments and appendices thereto and all documents incorporated by

reference therein.

1.12 “Contract price” means the price payable to the supplier under the contract for

the full and proper performance of his contractual obligations.

1.13 “Control” means the possession and exercise of legal authority and power to

manage the assets, goodwill and daily operations of a business and the active

and continuous exercise of appropriate managerial authority and power in

determining the policies and directing the operations of the business.

1.14 “Co-operative or collective enterprise” is an autonomous association of

persons who voluntarily join together to meet their economic, social and cultural

needs and aspirations through the formation of a jointly-owned enterprise and

democratically controlled enterprise.

1.15 “Corrupt practice” means the offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting of any

thing of value to influence the action of a public official in the procurement

process or in contract execution.

1.16 "Countervailing duties" are imposed in cases where an enterprise abroad is

subsidized by its government and encouraged to market its products

internationally.

1.17 “Country of origin” means the place where the goods were mined, grown or

produced or from which the services are supplied. Goods are produced when,

through manufacturing, processing or substantial and major assembly of

components, a commercially recognized new product results that is substantially

different in basic characteristics or in purpose or utility from its components.

1.18 “Day” means calendar day.

1.19 “Delivery” means delivery in compliance with the conditions of the contract or

order.

1.20 “Delivery ex stock” means immediate delivery directly from stock actually on

hand.

1.21 “Delivery into consignees store or to his site” means delivered and unloaded

in the specified store or depot or on the specified site in compliance with the

conditions of the contract or order, the supplier bearing all risks and charges

involved until the supplies are so delivered and a valid receipt is obtained.

1.22 “Disability” means, in respect of a person, a permanent impairment of a

physical, intellectual, or sensory function, which results in restricted, or lack of,

ability to perform an activity in the manner, or within the range, considered
