22 22 WHO QUALIFIES AS AN EMPOWERING SUPPLIER? EME s and Start-Ups are automatically recognised as Empowering 100 % Black owned QSE with turnover below R 50 million

23 23 Meet at least 3 criteria if Generic and 1 if QSE: 25% of Cost of Sales (excl Labour & depreciation) procured locally 50% jobs created are for Black people in the last measured period 25% transformation of raw materials 12 days pa assisting Black EME & QSE s to increase operational and financial capacity Atleast 85% of labour costs should be paid to South African employees by services industry entities

25 25 AFFIDAVITS The wording of the affidavit must meet the guidelines provided for in the Dti s template (see attached) MANAGEMENT CONTROL ME can elect to be measured against either National or Provincial targets SKILLS DEVELOPMENT Mandatory training as prescribed by the SETA does not count towards skills development expenditure Absorption points will only be earnt after the completion of the learnership/apprenticeship/internship

26 26 Training has to be inline with Annual Training Report(ATR) Expenditure on unemployed learners will count towards skills development expenditure Training conducted outside of S.A. has to meet SAQA requirements for it to count as category B,C,D otherwise its recognised as E or F ENTERPRISE & SUPPLIER DEVELOPMENT ESD invoices raised but are not paid within the period cannot count towards ESD expenditure The distinction between an Enterprise development beneficiary and supplier development beneficiary is whether or not the beneficiary is an empowering supplier. An SD beneficiary can be an ED beneficiary but an ED beneficiary can NEVER be a SD beneficiary if they are not an empowering supplier

27 27 Procurement Imports based on technical specifications and brand can only be excluded if an ESD programme has been developed and implemented In order to obtain an additional 1.20% enhanced recognition for supplier development the ME must demonstrate the following:- - provide evidence that a signed, valid and acceptable contract of a minimum 3 years exists between the ME and the beneficiary - provide evidence that a first-time supplier has not supplied to the ME prior to the measurement period EMPOWERING SUPPLIER Skills Development Levies are a pre-requisite in order to qualify as an empowering supplier EEA2 & EEA4 are not pre-requisites for measuring MC but they are for determining empowering supplier status 50% of jobs created should be for black south african citizens and the number of black south african employees should have been maintained since the last verification

33 33 WHAT IS THE BENEFIT? Spend with suppliers with higher BEE Levels are advantageous. with levels above Level 4 will contribute more than the actual spend towards your procurement spend and suppliers below Level 4 will contribute less than actual spend. The way in which companies have approached Preferential Procurement in the past is simply no longer relevant. Innovative, strategic thinking is now required. IMPACT ON YOUR SCORECARD? 1. Reduced procurement recognition spend, thereby increasing your TMPS (total Measured Procurement spend) target. 2. Potential discounting due to not meeting the sub-minimum target for ESD(includes Preferential Procurement) 3. Create ESD programmes, which could be costly. 4. When used strategically suppliers with higher BEE levels will often reduce the effects of having suppliers with a level lower than 4 or no certificate or a Non-Compliant certificate because the enhanced spend with other suppliers can fill the gaps.

34 34 On the Codes of Good Practice five criteria are measured 1. Spend on BEE compliant suppliers 2. Spend on QSE and EME supplier 3. Spend on 50% Black Owned suppliers 4. Spend on 30% black female owned suppliers 5. Spend with designated group suppliers that are 51% black owned (Bonus Points)

35 35 WHAT IS THE SCENARIO PLAN? Based on an in-depth analysis of your current score, we identify initiatives that need to be undertaken in order to achieve your desired level of compliance during the current financial period. This allows the ME to make flexible long-term plans. A cost benefit analysis is compiled in the report, thereby giving the ME an actual cost estimate in order for to achieve the desired level of compliance.

37 If you can t fly then run, if you can t run then walk, if you can t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward. ~ Martin Luther King Jr. 37 Start preparing your BEE Strategy NOW needs to be driven from the top down, systems in place to capture evidence, allocate a low level resource to do the ground work. Succession Planning - start identifying employees that you can upskill in order for them to move up the hierarchy into management roles. Start gearing up for the revised codes NOW. Consider engaging a reputable B-BBEE Consultant to help you formulate a sound strategy. Look to recruit black disabled female employees as they have higher recognition on the scorecard Look for more black owned EME s or QSE s or Female Owned entities to procure from Consider offering suppliers training on the revised Codes, offer them access to a workshop on the practical elements of how to assess the impact of the new scorecard, and how to engage in a strategic intervention to identify how to improve their B-BBEE scorecard over the next four years.

38 38 Engage a Skills Development Facilitator to ensure that the correct interventions have been implemented and that all learnerships meet the learnership requirements under the revised codes. Consider doing a Gap Analysis/Scenario Plan to understand your areas of weakness in order to prepare you for the revised codes. Don t engage your suppliers like you have previously it won t work. There will be many empty promises and limited buy-in and commitment. We recommend contractual obligations, committing suppliers to achieve four-year targets, and financial penalties for those who do not attain them Establish a supplier portal where prospective suppliers can register their interest in becoming a supplier to your company conduct an analysis into your spend and identify commodities that could offer opportunities for a change in supply.

39 39 Identify an Enterprise and Supplier Development Beneficiary that you can start to develop, as this involves setting out a detailed program which needs to have: Clear objectives Priority Interventions Key Performance Indicators Concise implementation plan with clearly articulated milestones
