All government departments, including the South African Police Service (SAPS), invite, evaluate and award bids, in terms of the prescripts of the Preferential Procurement Regulations, 2017, issued in terms of section 5 of the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act, 2000 (Act No 5 of 2000).

Subsequently, bidders are awarded Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) preferential points, in terms of their B-BBEE status level of contribution.

The award for bids is based on the 80/20 and the 90/10 points system. The acceptable bid which has the highest points, is awarded the contract. The ownership of service providers/contractors is incorporated into the B-BBEE certificates, issued by SANAS accredited agencies, which forms part of the formula above.
