1. General Conditions
Under the amended codes, the annual total revenue threshold for Exempt Micro
Enterprises (EMEs) has increased from R5 million to R10 million, and a Qualifying
Small Enterprise (QSE) qualifies within the R10-R50 million bracket.
EMEs (including start-ups) and QSEs could qualify for higher B-BBEE Status Levels,
depending on their black ownership:
It should be noted that an entity tendering for work which will take them into the next
size measurement category will require a B-BBEE certificate rated on that size entity.
For example, if an EME were to tender for a contract worth R12million, it would be
required to submit a QSE scorecard.
2. SwornAffidavit
A meaningful change for EMEs is the removal of the requirement to obtain a B-BBEE
verification certificate to confirm its B-BBEE status level (as well as for QSEs in
certaincircumstances). The amended codes make provision for confirmation of an
EME’s B-BBEE status level via a sworn affidavit confirming the entity’s annual total
revenue and black ownership (Par. 4.5 of the mended Code Series 000 Gazette No
36928 as amended by Gazette No 38765).
The application of the amended codes and the basis for measurement are provided
in Statement 000 of the Amended Code Series 000 Gazette No 36928 as amended
by Gazette No 38765, and can be summarised as follows:
90/10
(
Ps=90 1−
Pt −P min❑
P min❑ )
Where
Ps = Points scored for price of tender under consideration
Pt = Price of tender under consideration
Pmin = Price of lowest acceptable tender
