Bidders are required to submit original and valid B-BBEE Status Level Verification Certificates or certified copies of the original, not a photo-copy of another certified copy thereof together with their bids, to substantiate their B-BBEE rating claims. Bidders who do not submit B-BBEE Status Level Verification Certificates or who are non-compliant contributors to B-BBEE do not qualify for preference points for B-BBEE but should not be disqualified from the bidding process. They will score points out of 90 or 80 for price only and zero (0) points for B-BBEE. A trust, consortium or joint venture must submit a consolidated B-BBEE Status Level Verification Certificate for every separate bid. Public entities and tertiary institutions must also submit B-BBEE Status Level Verification Certificates together with their bids. If an institution is already in possession of a valid and original or certified copy of a bidder's B-BBEE Status Level Verification Certificate that was obtained for the purpose of establishing the database of possible suppliers for price quotations or that was submitted together with another bid, it is not necessary to obtain a new B-BBEE Status Level Verification Certificate each time a bid is submitted from the specific bidder. Such a certificate may be used to substantiate B-BBEE rating claims provided that the closing date of the bid falls within the expiry date of the certificate that is in the institution's possession. Each time this provision is applied, cross-reference must be made to the B-BBEE Status Level Verification Certificate already in possession for audit purposes. AOs / AAs must ensure that the B-BBEE Status Level Verification Certificates submitted are issued by the following agencies: Bidders other than EMEs: Verification agencies accredited by SANAS; or Registered auditors approved by IRBA (until the expiration of the period prescribed by the DTI). Bidders who qualify as EMEs: Sworn affidavit signed by the EME representative and attested by a Commissioner of oaths. Validity of B-BBEE Status Level Verification Certificates: Verification agencies accredited by SANAS: These certificates are identifiable by a SANAS logo and a unique BVA number. Confirmation of the validity of a B-BBEE Status Level Verification Certificate can be done by tracing the name of the issuing Verification Agency to the list of all SANAS accredited agencies. The list is accessible on http://www.sanas.co.za/directory/bbee_default.php. The relevant BVA may be contacted to confirm whether such a certificate was issued. As a minimum requirement, all valid B-BBEE Status Level Verification Certificates should have the following information detailed on the face of the certificate: The name and physical location of the measured entity; The registration number and, where applicable, the VAT number of the measured entity; The date of issue and date of expiry; The certificate number for identification and reference; The scorecard that was used (for example QSE, Specialized or Generic); The name and / or logo of the Verification Agency; The SANAS logo; The certificate must be signed by the authorized person from the Verification Agency; and The B-BBEE Status Level of Contribution obtained by the measured entity. Registered auditors approved by IRBA: The format and content of B-BBEE Status Level Verification Certificates issued by registered auditors approved by IRBA must - Clearly identify the B-BBEE approved registered auditor by the auditor's individual registration number with IRBA and the auditor's logo. Clearly record an approved B-BBEE Verification Certificate identification reference in the format required by the SASAE; Reflect relevant information regarding the identity and location of the measured entity. Identify the Codes of Good Practice or relevant Sector Codes applied in the determination of the scores. Record the weighting points (scores) attained by the measured entity for each scorecard element, where applicable, and the measured entity's overall B-BBEE Status Level of Contribution; and Reflect that the B-BBEE Verification Certificate and accompanying assurance report issued to the measured entity is valid for 12 months from the date of issuance and reflect both the issuance and expiry date. Confirmation of the validity of a B-BBEE Status Level Verification Certificate can be done by tracing the name of the issuing B-BBEE approved registered auditor to the list of all approved registered auditors. The list is accessible on http://www.thedti.gov.za and / http://www.irba.co.za. The relevant approved registered auditor may be contacted to confirm whether such a certificate was issued. Accounting officers as contemplated in section 60(4) of the CCA: These certificates will be issued on the accounting officer's letterhead with the accounting officer's practice number and contact number clearly specified on the face of the certificates. The content of B-BBEE Status Level Verification Certificates issued by accounting officers as contemplated in the CCA is detailed in paragraph 4.8.5 below. Verification of B-BBEE levels in respect of EMEs: In terms of the Generic Codes of Good Practice, an enterprise including a sole propriety with annual total revenue of R10 million or less qualifies as an EME. In instances where Sector Charters are developed to address the transformation challenges of specific sectors or industries, the threshold for qualification as an EME may be different from the generic threshold of R10 million. The relevant Sector Charter thresholds will therefore be used as a basis for a potential bidder to qualify as an EME. For example, the approved thresholds for EMEs for the Tourism and Construction Sector Charters are R2.5 million and R1.5 million respectively. An EME automatically qualifies as a level 4 contributor with B-BBEE recognition level of 100% in terms of the Codes of Good Practice. An EME with at least 51% black ownership qualifies as Level 2 Contributor with B-BBEE level of 125% in terms of the Codes of Good Practice. An EME with 100% black ownership qualifies as a Level 1 contributor with B-BBEE level of 135% in terms of the Codes of Good Practice. An EME that is regarded as a specialized enterprise with at least 75% black beneficiaries qualifies as Level 1 contributor with B-BBEE level of 135% in terms of Codes of Good Practice. An EME that is regarded as a specialized enterprise with at least 51% black beneficiaries qualifies as a Level 2 contributor with B-BBEE level of 125% in terms of the Codes of Good Practice. An EME is required to submit a sworn affidavit confirming their annual total revenue of R 10 million or less and level of black ownership to claim points. An EME that is regarded as a Specialized Enterprise, is required to submit a sworn affidavit confirming their annual turnover/ allocated budget/ gross receipt of R 10 million or less and level of percentage of black beneficiaries to claim points. An EME may be measured in terms of the QSE scorecard should they wish to maximize their points and move to a higher B-BBEE recognition level. It is in this context that an EME may submit a B-BBEE verification certificate. Eligibility as Qualifying Small Enterprises (QSE): The Codes define a QSE as any enterprise with annual total revenue of between R10 million and R50 million. A QSE with at least 51% black ownership qualifies as a Level 2 contributor. A QSE with 100% black ownership qualifies as a Level 1 Contributor. A QSE that is regarded as a specialized enterprise with at least 75% black beneficiaries qualifies as a Level 1 contributor with B-BBEE level of 135% in terms of the Codes of Good Practice. A QSE that is regarded as a specialized enterprise with at least 51% black beneficiaries qualifies as a Level 2 contributor with B-BBEE level of 125% in terms of the Codes of Good Practice. A QSE is required to submit a sworn affidavit confirming their annual total revenue of between R10 million and R 50 million and level of black ownership or a B-BBEE level verification certificate to claim points. A QSE that is regarded as a specialized enterprise is required to submit a sworn affidavit confirming their annual turnover/ budget/ gross receipt of R 50 million or less and level of percentage of black beneficiaries or a B-BBEE level verification certificate to claim points.
