ABOUT THE cidb
    The cidb has been established in terms of the Construction Industry Development Board Act 38 of 2000. It has the mandate to lead
    construction industry stakeholders in construction development and to facilitate regulation and development of the construction
    industry. The cidb is required in terms of the Construction Industry Development Board Act to establish the Register of contractors and
    Register of Projects. The register of contractors grades and categorises contractors according to their capability to carry out construction
    projects. All contractors seeking to participate in public sector infrastructure delivery must be registered on the cidb Register of
    Contractors.

    WHY REGISTER?

    According to the CIDB Act of 2000 no public sector client may award construction contracts to a contractor who is not registered with
    the cidb. There are 9 different grading levels according to which contractors can be registered. A grade determines the maximum Rand
    value of a project as well as the type of construction works a contractor is capable to perform.

    WHO MUST APPLY?

    All contractors seeking to participate in public sector infrastructure delivery must be registered on the cidb register of contractors.
    Contractors who are exempted from registration are:

    • Home builders, unless they also wish to tender for other kinds of public sector construction work
    • Those who undertake contracts consisting substantially of the provision of labour
    • Those who undertake contracts consisting substantially of the provision of supplies

    HOW CONTRACTOR GRADING DESIGNATIONS ARE DETERMINED
    • Contractor grading designation is determined by your financial and works capability.
    • Financial capability relates to your financial history (turnover), and the amount of working capital you can muster to sustain a
       contract, i.e. available capital. Available capital is the sum of total equity, retained income, shareholders or member’s loans and
       any form of acceptable financial sponsorship.
    • Works capability is determined by the largest contract you have undertaken and completed in your class of construction works
       (completed during the 5 years immediately preceding the application).
    • Contractor grading designation will be used by Government (national, provincial, municipal and state owned enterprises) to
       qualify your tender to be considered for a particular construction works contract. For example: if you are registered as a 5CE, you
       will be considered for public sector civil engineering works contracts of a value not exceeding R6.5 million. You may register for
       different classes of works, for example, you may be registered as a 5CE and as an 8ME. This means that you will also be considered
       for public sector mechanical engineering works contracts of a value not exceeding R130 million.
    • The records of one entity may be transferred to that of another entity and treated as if it were the same for the purposes
       of assessment where:
      - the first contractor being a sole proprietor, partnership or trust who establishes a Company or Close Corporation in terms of the
         Companies Act, 2008 or the Close Corporations Act, 1984;
      - a change of name of a company;
      - the reconstruction of a company;
      - the amalgamation of companies;
      - the takeover of a company;
      - the conversion of a company to a close corporation in terms of section 27 of the Close Corporations Act, 1984; or
      - a change in membership or members’ interests of a close corporation.

CAN A CONTRACTOR BE REGISTERED IN DIFFERENT GRADES?

A contractor may apply to be graded in one or several grades, however a contractor can only be registered in 1 grade per class of
works.

CONDITIONS OF REGISTRATION

The contractor must:

• Confirm particulars provided on his application form annually on or before the anniversary date of his registration
• Pay the relevant administration fee(s), as well as the stipulated annual fee
• Notify the cidb of any change of particulars relating to an existing registration
• Be free from any restrictions to tender
• Comply with the Code of Conduct for all parties engaged in Construction Procurement, as published by the cidb in the Government
  Gazette no. 25656 of 2003. (Also available on www.cidb.org.za)
• Annually provide a valid, original tax clearance certificate, upon expiry of the previous certificate, and
• Renew registration every 3 years for requalification of grades

                                                                                                                                    7
PROVIDING SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT YOUR APPLICATION

    The cidb evaluates applications for grading and registration based on evidence of works and financial capability provided by the
    contractor. Evidence is then used to determine which grade and class of works a company qualifies for. Once a grade has been
    determined and approved by the Board a contractor is then able to tender for construction contracts within the approved grade. Should
    the contractor fail to provide sufficient evidence to support the grade applied for, the cidb will determine an appropriate grade based on
    the information at its disposal.

    EXTERNAL COMPANIES

    All external companies must maintain an office in South Africa and must have a registered physical address in South Africa and must be
    registered with the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC).

    DEREGISTERED COMPANIES
    cidb will verify the status of companies when they do annual updates, additional classes of works, upgrades, new applications and
    3 year renewals. All companies that are de-registered at CIPC will be regarded as non-compliant and the non-compliant process will
    be followed and this can lead to the suspension or cancellation of the specific application if the documents requested are not
    submitted within the specified time period.

    Please note that providing false information or false declaration is a punishable offence in terms of the cidb Act, Construction
    Industry Regulations and other applicable laws.

Important Notes When Submitting Track Record

a. Letter of Award: An award letter must be on a letterhead of the client, must be addressed to the contractor who was awarded the
   contract and must include the tender/service order number and the contract amount. The award letter must be signed and dated by
   an official from the client.

    •     Subcontracting work must be accompanied by a sub-contract agreement.
    •     Joint Venture work must be accompanied by the Joint Venture agreement.

Please Note That Track Record Equating to Substantial Supply of Materials, Provision of Labour and Plant Hire Will Not Be
Accepted as Track Record for cidb Registration.

b. Certificate of Completion: The Certificate of Completion must be on a letterhead of the client, must be addressed to the
   contractor who was awarded the contract and must include the tender/service order number and the contract amount. The Letter
   of Completion must be signed and dated by an official from the client.

c. Certificate of Payment: The Final Payment Certificate must indicate:
   •     the contract value and
   •     must be on a letterhead of the client.
   •     It must be addressed to the contractor using the track record and must include the tender/service order number.

    It should include all part payments made and must read as Final Payment Certificate.

    •     The Final Payment Certificate must be signed and dated by an official from the client. For public sector track record the
          payment stubs from the financial systems used by the public sector client (e.g. BAS) will be accepted, if only one payment was
          made.

Note: If track record was from a private sector client or was a sub contract, the contractor’s supporting copies of bank statements must
be provided, the bank statements must reflect payments received from the client into the company’s account. The bank statement must
correlate with the initial project award value and must be stamped by the bank. Where the payments references on the bank statements
do not indicate either the client name or the project name, then copies of the invoices matching the payment must be submitted.

DETERMINING FINANCIAL CAPABILITY

Depending on the contractor grading designation applied for, your financial capability will be determined from:

• Best annual turnover from the 2 financial years immediately preceding the application
• The contractor must satisfy all the criteria relating to financial capability
• The available capital that they are able to mobilise

NB: Full set of financial statements are required for grading designation 3 - 9. Financial statements that are not audited must be accompanied by
VAT Returns (VAT 201 and VAT Statement of Account or copies of Bank Statements).

                                                                                                                                                    9
The available capital is calculated by adding any financial sponsorships to the sum of the net asset value of a contractor as indicated in
     the contractor’s financial statements, subject to the contribution made by financial sponsorships to available capital being limited to the
     values provided in Table 3 (NAV & Sponsorship)

     A financial sponsorship must be a collectable financial guarantee by one person to another, (the beneficiary)

     • for a determined amount;
     • to support operations of the contractor concerned in order to complete projects;
     • available to the beneficiary;
     • if applicable, in a form acceptable to any financial institution in South Africa as defined in the Financial Services Board Act,
       97of1990;and
     • if not provided by a financial institution, to an amount which does not exceed 15% of the sponsor’s net asset value as determined
       from the sponsor’s latest financial statements.

     FINANCIAL CAPABILITY REQUIREMENTS

     To determine financial capability the cidb takes the following into consideration:

     1. The best annual turnover of the two financial years immediately preceding the application
     2. Available Capital. The cidb calculates available capital by adding any financial sponsorship to the sum of the net asset value of a
         contract as indicated in the most recent financial statements. Net Asset Value is the difference between the total assets and total
         liabilities of a company as reflected in the company’s most recent financial statements.
     3. Financial Sponsorship. Financial sponsorship must be a collectable financial guarantee by one person ( a sponsor) to another (the
         beneficiary). Financial sponsorship must be:
           • A determined amount to support operations of the contractor concerned in order to complete projects. Any sponsorship from
                 another company other than a financial institution may not exceed 15% of the sponsor’s net asset value.
           • Available to the beneficiary
           • If applicable, it must be available to a third person, such as a bank, to advance funds or such as a supplier, to advance line of
                 credit
           • If applicable, it must be in a form acceptable to any financial institution in South Africa as defined in the Financial Services
                 Board Act 97 of 1990.
     Please note that:
           a) Where the sponsor is a registered contractor or owns 50% or more of the applicant contractor, sponsorship may constitute up
                 to 100% of the total required available capital.
           b) Where the sponsor is not a registered contractor and owns 25% or more of the applicant contractor, sponsorship may not
                 exceed 75% of the total required available capital and
           c) Where the contractor is not a registered contractor and the sponsor owns less than 25% of the applicant contractor,
                 sponsorship may not exceed 50% of the total required available capital.

     AUTHENTICITY OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
     All financial statements for a private company must be audited, independently reviewed or exempted depending on the public interest
     score of each financial year. For other forms of companies where the financial statements are not audited, contractors must submit
     supporting evidence of that company’s turnover. Such evidence would be in the form of Bank Statement or South African Revenue
     Services Form VAT 201(return for value added tax) and VAT Statement of Account (payment for that value added tax).

POTENTIALLY EMERGING ENTERPRISES

     A registered, potentially emerging contractor may be awarded a contract at one level higher than the enterprise’s registered contractor
     grading designation,if the client or employer:

     • is satisfied that such a contractor has the potential to develop and qualify to be registered in that higher grade;and
     • ensures that financial management or other support is provided - in the context of a targeted development programme - to enable
       the contractor to successfully execute that contract.

     JOINT VENTURES
     • A joint venture is a grouping of two or more contractors who jointly undertake to perform a construction works contract.
     • Any enterprise that tenders or renders a contract for construction works with the public sector, must be registered. Once-off joint
       ventures do not have to register. Each partner of the joint venture must be separately registered and the lead partner must have a
       contract or grading designation not lower than one level below the required grading designation in the class of construction works
       under consideration.
     • The contractor grading designation for a once-off joint venture is assessed by the client, based on:
        -    the sum of the best annual turnover of all the members of the joint venture;
        -    the sum of the available capital of all the members of the joint venture;and
        -    The cidb has developed a calculator to enable assessment of joint ventures. This calculator is available on the cidb website at
             www.cidb.org.za.

     Notwithstanding any calculation, the following partnerships amongst registered contractors are deemed to satisfy the contractor
     grading requirements for a joint venture in the following designations:
