1    OBJECTIVES OF THIS STATEMENT
1.1    Specify the interpretative principles of Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment(B-BBEE);
1.2    Specify the application of the Codes and the basis for measurement under the Codes;
1.3    Indicate the qualifying thresholds for Measured Entity to qualify as Exempted Micro-Enterprises (EME) or Qualifying Small Enterprises (QSE);
1.4    Specify the method of measuring Start-Up Enterprises;
1.5    Specify the elements of B-BBEE measurable under the Generic Scorecard and Qualifying Small Enterprises;
1.6    Specify the basis for determining compliance by Entities with the Codes; and
1.7    Provide for the Transitional Period before the compulsory use of the Generic and Qualifying Small Enterprise Scorecard starts.
2.    KEY PRINCIPLES
2.1    The fundamental principle for measuring B-BBEE compliance is that substance takes precedence over legal form.
2.2    In interpreting the provisions of the Codes any reasonable interpretation consistent with the objectives of the B-BBEE Act as amended and the B-BBEE Strategy must take precedence.
2.3    The basis for measuring B-BBEE initiatives under the Codes is the B-BBEE compliance of the Measured Entity at the Date of Measurement.
2.4    Any misrepresentation or attempt to misrepresent a Measured Entity’s true B- BBEE Status will be dealt with in accordance with the provisions as set out in the B-BBEE Act as amended, and may lead to the disqualification of the entire scorecard of the entities concerned.
© 2013 Department of Trade and Industry    Statement 000-2
2.5    Initiatives which split, separate or divide a Measured Entity as a means of ensuring eligibility as an Exempted Micro-Enterprise, a Qualifying Small Enterprise or a Start-Up Enterprise may constitute an offence and will be dealt with in accordance with the provisions as set out in the B-BBEE Act as amended.
2.6    Any representation made by an Entity about its B-BBEE compliance must be supported by suitable evidence or documentation. A Measured Entity that does not provide evidence or documentation supporting any initiative must not receive any recognition for that initiative.
2.7    Wherever a Standard Valuation Method applies to measuring an indicator, the same standard should apply, as far as reasonably possible, consistently in all other applicable calculations in this statement.
3.    APPLICATION OF THE CODES
3.1    The following Entities are measurable under the Codes:
3.1.1    all Organs of State and Public Entities;
3.1.2    all Measured Entities that undertake any economic activity with all Organs of State and Public Entities;
3.1.3any other Measured Entity that undertakes any economic activity, whether direct or indirect, with any other Measured Entity that is subject to measurement under paragraph 3.1.1 to 3.1.2 and which is seeking to establish its own B-BBEE compliance.
3.2    The basis for measuring the B-BBEE compliance of an Entity in terms of paragraph 3.1 is:
3.2.1    Paragraph 4, in the case of an Exempted Micro-Enterprise;
3.2.2The Generic Scorecard and QSE Scorecard, in the case of other Measured Entities.
© 2013 Department of Trade and Industry    Statement 000-3
3.2.3A Measured Entity in a sector in respect of which a sector code has been issued in terms of Section 9 of the BBBEE Act as amended, may only be measured for compliance in accordance with that code.
3.3    PRIORITY ELEMENTS, SUBMINIMUM AND DISCOUNTING PRINCIPLE
3.3.1    The Priority Elements are as follows:
3.3.1.1    Ownership:
3.3.1.1.1    The sub-minimum requirement for Ownership is 40% of Net Value(40% of the 8 points) based on the Time Based Graduation Factor as provided in Annexe 100 (E).
3.3.1.2    Skills Development:
3.3.1.2.1    The sub-minimum requirement for Skills Development is 40% of the total weighting points for Skills Development.
3.3.1.3    Enterprise and Supplier Development:
3.3.1.3.1    The sub-minimum requirement for Enterprise and Supplier Development is 40% for each of the three categories, within the Enterprise and Supplier Development element, namely preferential procurement; Supplier development and Enterprise development.
3.3.2 COMPLIANCE TO PRIORITY ELEMENTS
3.3.2.1    A Large Enterprise is required to comply with all the Priority Elements;
3.3.2.2    A Qualifying Small Enterprise is required to comply with Ownership as a compulsory element, and either Skills Development or Enterprise and Supplier Development.


3.3.3    DISCOUNTING PRINCIPLE EFFECT
3.3.3.1    Non-compliance with the 40% sub-minimum requirements of any of the
priority elements, as per paragraph 3.4.2 above, will result in the following outcomes for both Large Enterprises and Qualifying Small Enterprises:
© 2013 Department of Trade and Industry    Statement 000-4
3.4.3.1.1.1.    The actual points scored by the Measured Entity and the consequent level that the Measured Entity would have achieved were it not for non- compliance with the 40% sub-minimum requirements will be recognised by the Verification Agency (“the Recognition Level”);
3.4.3.1.1.2.    Notwithstanding the recognition in 3.4.3.1.1 above, the Measured Entity’s B-BBEE status level will be discounted by one level down until the next applicable verification period in which the Measured Entity can demonstrate compliance with the 40% sub-minimum requirements, at which point the Recorded Level will become the applicable ratings level for that Measured Entity in that verification period.
3.4    The requirement to submit data to the Department of Labour under the Employment Equity Act 55 of 1998 is only applicable to ‘designated employers’ who employ 50 or more employees. However, for the purpose of measurement for both Generic and Qualifying Small Entities that employ less than 50 employees are required to submit sufficient evidence for verification purposes.
4.    ELIGIBILITY AS AN EXEMPTED MICRO ENTERPRISE (EME)
4.1    Any enterprise with an annual Total Revenue of R10 Million or less qualifies as an Exempted Micro-Enterprise.
4.2    An Exempted Micro-Enterprise is deemed to have a B-BBEE Status of “Level Four Contributor” having a B-BBEE recognition level of 100% under paragraph
8.2.
4.3    Enhanced B-BBEE recognition level for an Exempted Micro-Enterprise:
4.3.1    Despite paragraphs 4.2 an EME which is 100% Black owned qualifies for elevation to “Level One Contributor” having a B-BBEE recognition level of 135%.
© 2013 Department of Trade and Industry
4.3.2    Despite paragraph 4.2 and 4.3.1, an EME which is at least 51%Black owned qualifies for elevation to “Level Two Contributor” having a B-BBEE recognition level of 125%.
4.4    Despite paragraphs 4.2 and 4.3, an EME is allowed to be measured in terms of the QSE scorecard should they wish to maximise their points and move to a higher B-BBEE recognition level.
4.5    An EME is only required to obtain an sworn affidavit on an annual basis, confirming the following:
4.5.1    Annual Total Revenue of R10 million or less; and
4.5.2    Level of Black ownership.
4.6    Any misrepresentation in terms of Para 4.5 above constitutes a criminal offence as set out in the B-BBEE Act as amended.
5.    ELIGIBILITY AS A QUALIFIFYING SMALL ENTERPRISES (QSE)
5.1    A Measured Entity with an annual Total Revenue of between R10 million and R50 million qualifies as a Qualifying Small Enterprise.
5.2    A QSE must comply with all of the elements of B-BBEE for the purposes of measurement.
5.3    Enhanced B-BBEE recognition level for QSE:
5.3.1    A Qualifying Small Enterprise which is 100% Black owned qualifies for a Level One B-BBEE recognition.
5.3.2A QSE which is at least 51% Black owned qualifies for Level Two B-BBEE recognition level.
5.3.3A QSE is only required to obtain an sworn affidavit on an annual basis, confirming the following:
5.3.3.1    Annual Total Revenue of R50 million or less; and
5.3.3.2    Level of Black ownership.

5.4    Any misrepresentation in terms of Para 5.3 above constitutes a criminal offence as set out in the B-BBEE Act as amended.
6.    START-UP ENTERPRISES
6.1    Start-up Enterprise must be measured as an Exempted Micro-Enterprise under this statement for the first year following their formation or incorporation. This provision applies regardless of the expected total revenue of the Start-up Enterprise.
6.2    Start-up Enterprise is deemed to have the qualifying B-BBEE Status in accordance with the principles of paragraph 4 of this Statement.
6.3    In order to qualify as a Start-up Enterprise, the enterprise must provide an independent confirmation of its status in accordance with paragraph 4.5.
6.4    Despite paragraph 6.1 and 6.2, a Start-up Enterprise must submit a QSE scorecard when tendering for any contract, or seeking any other economic activity covered by Section 10 of the Act, with a value higher than R10 million but less than R50 million. For contracts of R50 million or more they should submit the Generic scorecard. The preparation of such scorecards must use annualised data.
7.    The GENERIC SCORECARD
7.1    The Ownership Element, as set out in Code series 100, measures effective ownership of entities by Black people.
7.2    The Management Control element, as set out in Code series 200, measures the effective control of entities by Black people.
7.3    The Skills Development element, as set out in Code series 300, measures the extent to which employers carry out initiatives designed to develop the competencies of Black employees and Black people internally and externally.

7.4    The Enterprise and Supplier Development element, as set out in Code Series 400, measures the extent to which entities buy goods and services from Empowering Suppliers with strong B-BBEE recognition levels. This element also measures the extent to which enterprises carry out supplier development and enterprise development initiatives intended to assist and accelerate the growth and sustainability of black enterprises.
7.5    The Socio-Economic Development and Sector Specific Contributions element, as set out in Code series 500, measures the extent to which entities carry out initiatives that contribute towards Socio-Economic Development or Sector Specific initiatives that promote access to the economy for Black people.
8.    The B-BBEE GENERIC SCORECARD
8.1 The following table represents the B-BBEE Generic Scorecard

    STAATSKOERANT, 11 OKTOBER 2013 No. 36928 17
3    KEY MEASUREMENT PRINCIPLES
3.1    General principles:
3.1.1    An Entity receives points for participation by Black people in its rights of Ownership, using the Ownership scorecard in paragraph 2. Black people may hold their rights of Ownership in a Measured Entity as direct Participants or as Participants through some form of Entity such as:
3.1.1.1    a Company as defined in the Companies Act of 2008 (as amended);
3.1.1.2    a Close corporation;

3.1.1.3    a Co-operative;
3.1.1.4    a Trust;
3.1.1.5    a Broad-Based Ownership Scheme;
3.1.1.6    an Employee Share Ownership Programme;
3.1.1.7    a partnership or other association of natural persons; and
3.1.1.8    any form of juristic person recognised under South African law.
3.2    SUB-MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
3.2.1    A Measured Entity is required to achieve a minimum of 40% on Net Value points (i.e. 8 points) based on Annexe 100 (E) paragraph 4 of this statement.
3.2.2    Non-compliance with this sub-minimum target, as per paragraph 3.2.1, will result in the achieved B-BBEE status level being discounted in accordance with paragraph 3.4 in statement 000.


 
3.3    FLOW-THROUGH PRINCIPLE
3.3.1    As a general principle, when measuring the rights of Ownership of any category of Black people in a Measured Entity, only rights held by natural persons are relevant. If the rights of Ownership of Black people pass through a juristic person, then the rights of Ownership of Black people in that juristic person are measurable. This principle applies across every tier of Ownership in a multi-tiered chain of Ownership until that chain ends with a Black person holding rights of Ownership.
3.3.2    The method of applying the Flow-Through Principle across one or more intervening juristic persons is as follows:
3.3.2.1    Multiply the percentage of the Participant’s rights of Ownership in the juristic persons through which those rights pass by the percentage rights of Ownership of each of those juristic persons successively to the Measured Entity; and
3.3.2.2    The result of this calculation represents the percentage of rights of Ownership held by the Participant.
3.4    MODIFIED FLOW-THROUGH PRINCIPLE
3.4.1    A Measured Entity applying this Modified Flow-Through Principle cannot benefit from the Exclusion Principle.
3.4.2    The Modified Flow-Through Principle applies to B-BBEE owned or controlled company in the Ownership of the Measured Entity.
3.4.3    In calculating Exercisable Voting Rights under paragraph 2.1.1, and Economic Interest under paragraph 2.2.1 of the Ownership scorecard the following applies:
3.4.3.1    Where in the chain of Ownership, Black people have a flow-through level of participation of at least 51%, and then only once in the entire
© 2013 Department of Trade and Industry    Statement 100-5
ownership structure of the Measured Entity, such Black participation may be treated as if it were 100% Black.
3.4.4    The Modified Flow-Through Principle may only be applied in the calculation of the indicators in paragraphs 2.1.1 and 2.2.1 of the Ownership scorecard. In all other instances, the Flow-Through Principle applies.
3.5    EXCLUSION OF SPECIFIED ENTITIES WHEN DETERMINING
OWNERSHIP
3.5.1    When determining Ownership in a Measured Entity, Ownership held by
Organs of State or Public Entities must be excluded.
3.5.2    Exclusion of Ownership held by the Organs of State or Public Entities is
to be effected before any other Ownership discounting methods are to be applied.
3.5.3    In calculating their Ownership score, Measured Entities must apply the Exclusion Principle to any portion of their Ownership held by Organs of State or Public Entities.
3.6    B-BBEE FACILITATOR STATUS
3.6.1    Despite paragraphs 3.5.1 and 3.5.3 above, the Minister may by notice in the gazette, designate certain Organs of State or Public Entities as B- BBEE Facilitators. In calculating their Ownership score, Measured Entities must treat B-BBEE Facilitators as having rights of Ownership held:
3.6.1.1    100% by Black people;
3.6.1.2    40% by Black women;
3.6.1.3    20% by Black designated groups;
3.6.1.4    Without any acquisition debts; and
© 2013 Department of Trade and Industry    Statement 100-6
3.6.1.5    Without any third-party rights.
3.7    MANDATED INVESTMENTS
3.7.1    When determining Ownership in a Measured Entity, rights of Ownership of Mandated Investments may be excluded.
3.7.2    The maximum percentage of the Ownership of any Measured Entity that may be so excluded is 40%.
3.7.3    A Measured Entity electing not to exclude Mandated Investments when it is entitled to do so, may either treat all of that Ownership as non-Black or obtain a competent person’s report estimating the extent of Black rights of Ownership measurable in the Measured Entity and originating from that Mandated Investments.
3.7.4    A Measured Entity cannot selectively include or exclude Mandated Investments and therefore an election to exclude one Mandated Investment is an election to exclude all Mandated Investments and
visa versa.
3.7.5    A Measured Entity applying the Exclusion Principle to Mandated Investments cannot benefit from the Modified Flow-Through Principle.
3.8    RECOGNITION OF OWNERSHIP AFTER THE SALE OR LOSS OF SHARES BY BLACK PARTICIPANTS
3.8.1    A Measured Entity is allowed to recognise a portion of Black Ownership after a Black participant has exited through the sale or loss of shares subject to the following criteria:
3.8.1.1    the Black participant has held shares for a minimum period of 3 years;
3.8.1.2    net value based on the Time Based Graduation Factor as per
annexe 100 ‘E’ must have been created in the hands of Black people; and
3.8.1.3    transformation has taken place within the Measured Entity using the B-BBEE Recognition Level from the period of entry of black participants to the exiting period.
3.8.2    Black participation arising from continued recognition of Black Ownership cannot contribute more than 40% of the score on the Ownership scorecard.
3.8.3    In the case of a sale or loss of shares by the Black participant, the
following additional rules apply.
3.8.3.1    a written tripartite agreement between the Measured Entity, the Black participant and a lender must record the loan or security arrangement, unless the Measured Entity is the lender; and
3.8.3.2    the period over which the continued recognition points are allocated or recognised after sale or loss of shares will not exceed the period over which the shares were held.
3.8.4    The Ownership points under this paragraph that are attributable to the Measured Entity will be calculated by multiplying the following elements:
3.8.4.1    the value created in the hands of Black participants as a percentage of the total value of the Black participants’ shareholding in the Measured Entity at the date of sale or loss of shares;
3.8.4.2    the B-BBEE status of the Measured Entity based on the balanced scorecard at the Date of Measurement; and
3.8.4.3    the Ownership points that were attributable to the Measured Entity on the date of sale or loss shares.
3.9    BROAD-BASED OWNERSHIP SCHEMES AND EMPLOYEE SHARE OWNERSHIP PROGRAMME
3.9.1    Black participants in Broad-Based Ownership Schemes and Employee Share Ownership Programmes holding rights of Ownership in a Measured Entity may contribute:
3.9.1.1    a maximum of 40% of the total points on the Ownership scorecard of the Measured Entity if they meet the qualification criteria set out in Annexe 100(B) and Annexe 100 (C).
3.9.1.2    100% of the total points on the Ownership scorecard of the Measured Entity if they meet the additional qualification criteria set out in Annexe 100(B) and Annexe 100 (C).
3.10    PRIVATE EQUITY FUNDS
3.10.1    A Measured Entity may treat any of its Ownership arising from a
Private Equity Fund as if that Ownership were held by Black people,
where the Private Equity Fund meets the following criteria:
3.10.1.1    At least 51% of any of the Private Equity Managers’ Exercisable Voting Rights associated with the Equity Instruments through which the Private Equity Fund holds rights of Ownership, must be held by Black people;
3.10.1.2    At least 51% of the Private Equity Fund’s Executive Management and Senior Management must be Black people;
3.10.1.3    At least 51% of the profits made by the Private Equity Fund Manager after realising any investment made by it, must by written agreement, accrue to Black people;
3.10.2    The term profit in this instance is deemed as profit from the operations of the Private Equity Fund Manager and the carried interest that the Private Equity Fund Manager (and/or its associated entities, provided that at least 51% of the profits of the associated entities accrue to the Private Equity Fund Manager) receives after realising any investment made by it;
3.10.3    The Private Equity Fund Manager must be a B-BBEE owned company as defined;
3.10.4    The Private Equity Fund Manager must seek to invest at least 51% of the value of funds under management in companies that have at least a 25% direct Black shareholding using the Flow Through Principle;
3.10.5    the Private Equity Fund Manager can facilitate direct Black shareholding at the time of entering into the transaction should the target company not meet the requirement of at least 25% Black shareholding at the time that the transaction is concluded;
3.10.6    This determination will be made at each measurement date and the status given to the Private Equity Fund Manager will be applicable for a period of 12 months;
3.10.7    In recognition of the fact that it is currently a challenge for Private Equity Fund Managers to find companies to invest in that already have a significant Black shareholding, in practice it should be allowed to achieve the 51% target over a period of time based on the formulation
detailed below. (It must be noted that this formulation is in line with that of the Net Value calculation above). This rule will apply to all investments made after 11 October 2014. The commencement date is the later of 11 October 2014 and the date of establishment of a new fund;
3.10.8    Within one year from the commencement date, more than 5% of the
value of funds invested by the Private Equity Fund must at all times be invested    in    enterprises    that    have    at    least    25%    direct    Black
shareholding;
3.10.9    Within two years from the commencement date, more than 10% of the
value of funds invested by the Private Equity Fund must at all times be invested    in    enterprises    that    have    at    least    25%    direct    Black
shareholding;
3.10.10    From the first day of the third year and the last day of the fourth year from the commencement date, more than 20% of the value of funds invested by the Private Equity Fund must at all times be invested in enterprises that have at least 25% direct Black shareholding;
3.10.11    From the first day of the fifth year and the last day of the sixth year
from the commencement date, more than 30% of the value of the funds invested by the Private Equity Fund must at all times be invested    in    enterprises    that    have    at    least    25%    direct    Black
shareholding;
3.10.12    From the first of the seventh year and the last day of the eight year from the commencement date, more than 40% of the value of the funds invested by the Private Equity Fund must at all times be invested in the enterprises that have at least 25% direct Black shareholding;
3.10.13    From the first day of    the    ninth    year and    beyond from the
commencement date, at least 51% of the value of the funds invested

3.    KEY MEASUREMENT PRINCIPLES
3.1    The Enterprise and Supplier Development consist of,
3.1.1    Preferential Procurement; and
3.1.2    Enterprise Development and Supplier Development.
3.1.3    Enterprise Development and Supplier Development Contributions will be recognised as a percentage of annual Net Profit After Tax (NPAT).
3.2    SUB-MINIMUM AND DISCOUNTING PRINCIPLE
3.2.1    A Measured Entity must achieve a minimum of 40% of each of the targets set out on 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 excluding bonus points of the Enterprise and Supplier Development Scorecard.
3.2.2    Non-compliance to the threshold targets will result in the overall achieved B-BBEE status level being discounted in accordance with paragraph 3.4 in statement 000.
3.3    An Empowering Supplier within a context of B-BBEE is a B-BBEE compliant entity, which is a good citizen South African entity, comply with all regulatory requirements of the country and should meet at least three if it is a large enterprise or one if it is a QSE of the following criteria:
(a)    At least 25% of cost of sales excluding labour cost and depreciation must be procured from local producers or local supplier in SA, for service industry labour cost are included but capped to 15%.
(b)    Job creation – 50% of jobs created are for Black people provided that the number of Black employees since the immediate prior verified B-BBEE Measurement is maintained.
(c)    At least 25% transformation of raw material/beneficiation which include local manufacturing, production and/or assembly, and/or packaging.
(d)    Skills transfer – at least spend 12 days per annum of productivity deployed in assisting Black EMEs and QSEs beneficiaries to increase their operation or financial capacity.
3.3.1    Exempted Micro Enterprises and Start-Ups are automatically recognised as Empowering Suppliers.
3.4    The Weighting points in the Enterprise and Supplier Development scorecard represent the maximum number of points possible for each of the criteria.
3.5    If a Measured Entity procures goods and services from a supplier that is:
3.5.1    A recipient of supplier development contributions from a Measured Entity under Code series 400 has a minimum 3 year contract with the
Measured Entity, the recognisable B-BBEE Procurement Spend that can be attributed to that Supplier is multiplied by a factor of 1.2;
3.5.2    A black owned QSE or EME which is not a supplier development beneficiary but that has a minimum 3 year contract with the Measured Entity, the recognisable B-BBEE Procurement Spend that can be attributed to that Supplier is multiplied by a factor of 1.2;
3.5.3    A first time supplier to the Measured Entity, the recognisable B-BBEE Procurement Spend that can be attributed to that Supplier is multiplied by a factor of 1.2.
3.6. Procurement of goods and services and any other activities that fall under
2.1    will not qualify for scoring under 2.2 and 2.3 and vice versa.
3.7    Beneficiaries of Supplier Development and Enterprise Development are EMEs or QSEs which are at least 51% black owned or at least 51% black women owned.
4.    GENERAL PRINCIPLES
4.1    To strengthen local procurement in order to help build South Africa’s industrial base in critical sectors of production and value adding manufacturing, which are largely labour-intensive industries.
4.2    To increase local procurement through capacity building achieved by incentivising appropriate local supplier development programmes by businesses supplying imported goods and services.
4.3    The imports provisions do not apply to the designated sectors and products for local production, as and when published.
4.4    To actively support procurement from black owned QSEs and EMEs by identifying opportunities to increase procurement from local suppliers in order to support employment creation.
4.5    To support procurement from black owned and black women owned businesses in order to increase the participation of these businesses in the main stream economy.
4.6    To promote the use of black owned professional service providers and entrepreneurs as suppliers.
4.7    Measured    Entities    receive recognition    for    any    Enterprise
Development and Supplier Development Contributions that are quantifiable as a monetary value using a Standard Valuation Method.
4.8    Measured    Entities    are encouraged to    align    their    Enterprise
Development and Supplier Development initiatives with the designated sectors of government’s localisation and value adding programmes.
4.9    Measured    Entities    are encouraged to    align    their    enterprise
development and supplier development initiatives with their supply chain requirements thereby linking Enterprise Development and Supplier Development with Preferential Procurement.
4.10    Qualifying Enterprise Development and Supplier Development Contributions of any Measured Entity are recognisable on an annual basis.
4.11    Contributions, programmes and/or initiatives that span over multiple years, the total contribution amount must be divided by the number of years, and the average per year is then to be utilised for the annual contribution.
4.12    Measured Entities are encouraged to develop and implemented an Enterprise Development plan and Supplier Development plan for Qualifying Beneficiaries. The plan should include:
4.12.1    Clear objectives
©2013 Department of Trade and Industry    Statement 400-7
4.12.2    Priority interventions
4.12.3    Key performance indicators; and
4.12.4    A concise implementation plan with clearly articulated milestones.
4.13    Measured Entities will not get recognition for the same activities undertaken under 2.2 and 2.3, they will only get recognition for one of the two i.e. 2.2 or 2.3
4.14    No portion of the value of any Qualifying Enterprise Development and Supplier Development Contribution that is payable to the beneficiary after the date of measurement can form part of any calculation under this statement.

©2013 Department of Trade and Industry    Statement 400-11
within a category of supplier listed in paragraph 3.5, the value of procurement from that supplier is multiplied by the applicable factor listed in that paragraph.
7.2    B-BBEE Procurement Spend can be measured in terms of formula “A” in Annexe 400(A).
7.3    The B-BBEE Procurement Spend for a Measured Entity in respect of a supplier is calculated by multiplying the spend contemplated by paragraph 5 (and not excluded by paragraph 6) in respect of that supplier by the supplier’s B-BBEE Recognition Level.
7.4    A Measured Entity’s Total Procurement Spend is the total of all amounts calculated in terms of paragraph 7.3.
8    THE CALCULATION OF    PREFERENTIAL    PROCUREMENT
CONTRIBUTIONS TO B-BBEE
8.1    A measured Entity receives a score for procurement in proportion to the extent that it meets the compliance target.
8.2    The Measured Entity’s score for Preferential Procurement contributions to B-BBEE under the preferential procurement scorecard can be calculated in terms of formula “B” in Annexe 400(A).
