AP5125: BID: 10/2025: ROUND 2: EMPOWERMENT MEASUREMENT FOR CASP AND ILIMA PROJECTS
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
The Western Cape Department of Agriculture needs a service provider to examine current ownership structures for projects that were funded through the Comprehensive Agriculture Support Programme (CASP) and review each project in terms of the AgriBEE sector charter and the Revised AgriBEE sector codes. This is to clarify whether the ownership structures comply with the rules and regulations as set out in those charters, and whether they also are compliant to CASP funding Terms of Reference. The successful service providers will be appointed for a period of three years but the applicable rates will be reviewed after the first year and may be adjusted accordingly.
The levels of actual economic empowerment in share schemes and Trusts have come under scrutiny. As a result, actual economic empowerment that results in economic benefits ensuing from such arrangements need to be established as that will represent the percentage of contribution towards that project from CASP/Ilima funds.
The Service Provider should be able to:
- Describe the context of BEE and rationale of the codes of Agri BEE sector codes, evaluation principles of the various scorecards, common and statutory laws and codes, and B-BBEE policies.
- Demonstrate the measurement of control, employment equity and evaluation of an entity on the scorecards, the primary principles of B-BBEE strategy, and an employment equity audit.
Explain the measurement of ownership, evaluation of an entity on the scorecard, direct and indirect ownership, equity equivalents, the King III Code on corporate governance, and risk management.
