of goods and services from BBBEE suppliers in line with the BBBEE Act 53 of 2003
and BBBEE Codes of Good Practice guidelines from Department of Trade and Industry.
- The EDCON group shall implement verification system that is
aligned to the above legislations and promote the use of DTI scorecard requirements,
in evaluating all its suppliers
- Only suppliers that meet the DTI set requirements will be recognised
as BBBEE compliant. Such suppliers should be rated between level 1 and level 8.
Edcon will encourage the use of suppliers with superior rating (level 1-4).
- EDCON will accept BBBEE certificate from any of the reputable
rating agency as well as self assessment until March 2010. These documents will
only be valid if signed by an authorized person.
- As from 1 April 2010, Edcon will only accept rating certificates
from SANAS accredited agencies.
- Self assessments can be completed on either DTI website or Edcon's
website. All applicable pillars (Ownership, Management, Employment Equity, Skill
Development, Preferential Procurement, Enterprise Development and Socio Economic
Development Initiatives should be rated
- If applicable, the evaluation should also indicate whether the
supplier is value add, % black or women ownership, EME or QSE and black owned professional
services

on either DTI website
or Edcon's website. All applicable pillars (Ownership, Management, Employment Equity,
Skill Development, Preferential Procurement, Enterprise Development and Socio Economic
Development Initiatives should be rated
- The above requirement applies to all suppliers, with an exception
to the following companies that qualifies for exemption
* EME's (Annual turnover of less than R5 million). These companies automatically
qualifies for level 4 BBBEE compliant; and
* QSE (Annual turnover of more than R5million but less than R35 million). These
companies can only be evaluated on 4 elements.
- EDCON will reserve the right to verify and qualify information
provided by the supplier on their BBBEE status.
- EDCON is not a verifying agency, therefore an approval of BBBEE
status by EDCON will not qualify the company to be regarded as BBBEE compliant when
doing business with other companies.
- Rating certificates will be valid until their expiry date. Thereafter,
the supplier will be given a grace period of 2 months to provide the new certificate.
Failure to do so, the supplier will be removed from the BBBEE database.
- Suppliers that are approved by EDCON to be BBBEE compliant will
still be required to register on Procurement database prior to being regarded as
preferred suppliers.
- All supplier approved to be BBBEE compliant, will still be required
to follow the normal procurement and tender process prior to being awarded the business.
To confirm the BBBEE status of our suppliers, Edcon uses the guidelines that have
been provided in DTI codes of good practice. In order to determine the BBBEE status
of our suppliers prior to procuring from them the following documents are required:
- A copy of rating certificate, signed by rating agency; or
- self assessment documents on all pillars, signed by authorised
person (CEO/MD/CFO) or
- A signed letter from auditors / accounting officer (only for
companies with annual turnover of less than R5 million) confirming the annual turnover
to be below R5m.
