Webinar: Unpacking the Draft General Public Procurement Regulations

Thank you for attending our webinar, Unpacking the Draft General Public Procurement Regulations. The session explored the proposed regulations currently open for public comment and unpacked how these changes may reshape procurement, compliance requirements, and supplier competitiveness within the public sector.

Key discussion points included the shift from the 80/20 and 90/10 procurement system to a three-tier preferential procurement framework, the introduction of 100% black ownership requirements for certain set-asides, mandatory subcontracting provisions, and the growing focus on compliance, transparency, and anti-corruption measures. Speakers also discussed the potential risks linked to fronting, tender-preneurship, and the need for greater alignment between the Public Procurement Act and existing B-BBEE legislation.

The webinar further highlighted the importance of submitting informed public comments before the 15 June deadline and outlined practical considerations for organisations doing business with Government, Public Entities, and Organs of State.
