How organs of state buy consulting and research
Studies, evaluations, plans and advisory work go to consultants through requests for proposal that score functionality (approach, experience, team) before price and preference points. Notices define deliverables, milestones and reports, and bids usually show the team's hourly rates and a budget split by deliverable.
Organs of state buy under section 217 of the Constitution and either the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA), for departments and public entities, or the Municipal Finance Management Act (MFMA), for municipalities. The Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act and its 2022 regulations add 80/20 or 90/10 preference points for the specific goals each tender names. Bidders need Central Supplier Database (CSD) registration, a tax compliance status confirmed by SARS and, to claim B-BBEE points, a certificate or sworn affidavit. Missing a compulsory briefing session disqualifies a bid.
