CHALLENGES • Current legislation provides for awarding contracts or orders to the first tier suppliers • Tenders issued for one big project with no requirements for the supplier to buy locally and from SMMEs and PDIs • Current empowerment point system looks at the main suppliers disregarding the manufacturers, distributors • Manufacturing capacity not yet fully developed for some products • Some inputs are monopolized • Suppliers are tied to distributors/wholesalers with easy access to credit even though it is at higher prices
PROPOSED SOLUTIONS • Impose BEE requirements to the suppliers of suppliers or manufacturers of inputs • Support new manufacturers for specific products to be linked to bigger infrastructure projects – buy directly from manufacturers • Develop incentives for suppliers buying locally from PDIs • Government proactive and deliberate ring-fencing of specific products so manufacturers can be developed for established markets.
