Purchase cart Previous page Return to chapter overview Next page

 

Procurement can be broken down into three levels, namely: capital goods; services; and consumables.

 

Stakeholders undertake to give HDSAs a preferred supplier status, where possible, in all three levels of procurement. To this end stakeholders undertake to:

 

•Identify current levels of procurement from HDSA companies;

 

•Commit to a progression of procurement from HDSA companies over a 3 to 5-year time frame reflecting the genuine value added by the HDSA provider;

 

•Encourage existing suppliers to form partnerships with HDSA companies, where no HDSA Company tenders to supply goods or services; and

 

•Stakeholders commit to help develop HDSA procurement capacity and access Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) assistance programmes to achieve this.

 

List of suppliers: It is envisaged that information on all HDSA companies wishing to participate in the industry will be collected and published. All participants in the industry will assist the DTI in compiling such a list that will inter alia be published by government on the Internet and updated regularly.
