Key role of the Registers Sustainable delivery and empowerment
Meeting the Challenge Construction Registers Service National Register of Contractors To drive improving performance of contractors National Register of Projects Promote client practices that shape a transforming, healthy and sustainable industry Roll-out Through Standard for Procurement Uniformity in Construction
Register of Contractors CIDB Act 38 of 2000…mandates the CIDB to establish the National Register of Contractors: Facilitates public sector procurement, delivery and risk Supports contractor development Promotes better performance - improved quality, safety, health and environment. to categorise contractors in accordance with their capability: Purpose
2. Grading Criteria CLASS OF WORKS General Building Civil Engineering Electrical Engineering Mechanical Engineering Specialist Works Background
2. Grading Criteria Tender Value Ranges Background
What the register tells us so far?
Distribution/Class of Works Expect to register 6000 contractors by year end. Useful to note the concentrations in general building and the gaps in other classes of works where greater specialisation and capital resources are necessary.
Distribution/Class of Works Note: At the higher grades numbers reflect registrations in different classes of work eg civils, building, electrical – so at grade 9 there are about 8 contractors registered and a similar number in grade 8 Grade 8 and 9 – Large nationals/ internationals
Distribution/Class of Works 1147 Real capacity and significant development potential from grades 2 (classroom blocks) to grade 6 (R10 million) – Also using the PE (potentially emerging) status contractors at a lower grade can be targeted – including grade 1 contractors Grades 2 – 6, largely provincial & significant black participation
Distribution black owned 652 570 88% Reflects significant transformation achieved to date. Medium sized contractors = 88% black ownership
Distribution youth owned
Distribution women owned The high percentage (about 65% in Limpopo) reflects the impact of preferencing and the fact that at provincial level, competition is largely between black owned enterprises. Therefore preference points for women ownership make a huge competitive difference.

- Register of Projects Linking demand and supply Client tender adverts – automatically alert tenders Logging award of tender (or cancellation) - automatically updates contractor’s record Phase 2 will place best practice requirements on clients

Greater emphasis on development programmes Client use of the Register for both delivery & development Target contracts at different grades Provide more work for Grade 1 Put in place development programmes for different grades using PE status Use affirmative procurement – smaller and larger contracts! Proper use of the Registers by Clients!
