Submit the SBD 6.1 Preference Points Claim Form as part of your tender. Include all required proof/documentation for specific goals to claim preference points. Omission of this form or supporting documents will result in zero preference points. The organ of state may request additional substantiation of claims before or after adjudication.

Evaluation follows the Preferential Procurement Regulations 2022. Points are split between Price (80) and Specific Goals (20) for the 80/20 system (tenders ≤ R50M) or Price (90) and Specific Goals (10) for the 90/10 system (tenders > R50M). If the system is unclear, the lowest acceptable tender determines applicability. Price scoring uses: Ps = 80(1 - (Pt - Pmin)/Pmin) or Ps = 90(1 - (Pt - Pmin)/Pmin). Specific goals (max 20 points for 80/20 or 10 for 90/10) include: SMME (EME & QSE), Black ownership (50%+), Black youth ownership (30%+), Black women ownership (30%+), Black disability ownership (30%+).

Submit proof of company registration and legal type (e.g., Partnership, Sole Proprietor, CC, (Pty) Ltd, Non-Profit, State-Owned). Preference points require valid documentation (e.g., B-BBEE certificates, CIPC registration, ownership proofs). Fraudulent claims may result in: disqualification, cost recovery, contract cancellation, 10-year business restrictions from any organ of state, or criminal prosecution.
