Preferential Procurement and Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment Compliance

Preferential procurement is central to transformation and scorecard performance for South African organisations, yet buyers often struggle to translate policy into consistent day to day decisions. This course explains how preferential procurement, empowerment scoring and supplier verification work together in practice. Delegates learn to maximise recognised spend without compromising value or falling foul of fronting rules.
