Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Transnet has temporarily suspended broad-based black economic empowerment (BB-BEE) criteria in its tenders.<\/p>\n

The entity said Treasury granted it a temporary exemption from the criteria “to meet [Transnet’s] immediate operational requirements and economic objectives”.<\/p>\n

Transnet is currently waiting for more clarity on BEE criteria in government tenders.<\/p>\n

This after the Constitutional Court recently ruled that the finance minister exceeded his powers in making regulations that excluded businesses that were not black-owned from tendering. Treasury is now waiting for clarity on the judgment from the Constitutional Court.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, it released updated tender regulations in terms of the Preferential Public Procurement Framework Act (PPPFA) two weeks ago.<\/p>\n

Transnet, Eskom seek procurement rules exemption from National Treasury, MPs told<\/p>\n

National Treasury’s draft regulations bring procurement back in line with the system that existed before 2017, which proposes an 80\/20 BEE preference point system for the acquisition of goods with a value of up to R50 million. This means that 80% of the points scored for the tender is awarded for price, while 20% is based on the bidder\u2019s BEE level. A 90\/10 BEE preference points system for goods valued higher than R50 million.<\/p>\n

But the status of the 2017 regulations is also still unclear: In February, the Constitutional Court dismissed an appeal by the office of the finance minister and confirmed that a Supreme Court of Appeal ruling that the PPPFA regulations of 2017 were invalid.<\/p>\n

Transnet spokesperson Ayanda Shezi told Fin24 that the exemption was granted based on the fact that the current status of the 2017 regulations is unclear, and the process is still under way to promulgate new regulations.<\/p>\n

“A better system for empowerment is needed going forward, as the current 80\/20 and 90\/10 preference point systems have in practice benefited very few black-owned companies,\u201d Transnet said in a statement this week.<\/p>\n

Black business lobby group ready to fight National Treasury’s new draft procurement rules<\/p>\n

Transnet said the Constitutional Court’s silence on the timing effect of the invalidity of the regulations created legal uncertainty in the public procurement environment.<\/p>\n

The statement said the situation was anticipated to be short-term, pending either the new regulations or clarification of the Constitutional Court judgment.<\/p>\n
