State procurement for the World Cup will follow the standard practices of BBBEE and SMME promotion. The Government is also making sure that others - the Local Organising Committee, FIFA and its commercial partners - procure services according to empowerment policy.
The Organising Committee has agreed to procure 30% of the products and services it needs from small businesses and BEE companies. Seventy percent of the procurement allocated to BEE companies and small businesses must be allocated to smaller black enterprises - especially to co-operatives with a large number of female members, and small businesses of which women are key stakeholders.
The Department of Trade and Industry will ensure that the Organising Committee complies with BEE codes in tendering processes. The Government and the Organising Committee will also organise roadshows on the business opportunities arising from the tournament deliverables, such as transport and stadiums, particularly in the nine host cities but also further afield.
