Understand the new changes to the PPPFA

Changes and Challenges

The revised regulations will come into effect on the 7th of December 2011. The requirements will allocate tender points based on only compliance with the Broad Based BEE scorecard. If a company has achieved highly they will be awarded maximum points or if they are non-compliant or achieved badly will receive no or little recognition. Only valid certificates will be acceptable.

Solving Challenges;

• Ownership on its own does not count.
• Verification capacity – with less than 100 BEE verification agencies the additional companies wanting to be BEE accredited will place huge stress on their capacity.
• Consistency – Scorecard fronting (white collar fronting) will need to be watched very carefully. The data applicable to a scorecard will need to become more publicly accessible to avoid irregular scorecards being used.
• Regulation issues – once a certificate is found to be incorrect it needs to be removed from the tender process. An investigation will need to be conducted to discover the reason why the scorecard is incorrect. Tender officers will need training to ensure they vet each certificate.
• DTI capacity – the dti has a small team of experts. This team will be required to investigate a massive number of invalid certificates. They will also be required to offer leadership and interpretive guidance to the industry.
• Time and knowledge. Companies will have a very limited window to improve their current BEE scorecard or prepare from scratch.
• It takes time to build up a good scorecard
• Fronting issues will become more important, BUT fronting easier to discover on a B-BBEE certificate.
• Existing tenderers often have no scorecard – they will have to get one to stay in the game.
