SBD 6.1 under PPR 2022, with a worked example
What SBD 6.1 asks for under the Preferential Procurement Regulations 2022: the 80/20 and 90/10 systems, the price formula, Table 1 of specific goals, and a worked example.
SBD 6.1 is the preference points claim form. The version in use rests on the Preferential Procurement Regulations 2022, made under the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act 5 of 2000. It is shorter than the form it replaced, and it no longer has a fixed B-BBEE block or ownership percentages.
The two preference point systems
- 80/20 for tenders with a Rand value up to R50 000 000, including all applicable taxes.
- 90/10 for tenders above R50 000 000, including all applicable taxes.
The organ of state states which system applies, and how many points go to price and how many to specific goals. You do not choose.
Points for price
Under 80/20, price points are worked out as:
Ps = 80 × (1 − (Pt − Pmin) ÷ Pmin)
where Pt is your price and Pmin the lowest acceptable price. Under 90/10 the 80 becomes 90. You do not fill this in on the form; the department calculates it.
Table 1: specific goals
This is the part that changed most in 2022. Table 1 lists the specific goals the organ of state has chosen for this tender; wording and point allocations are set per tender, in up to seven rows, with a column for the 90/10 allocation and a column for the 80/20 allocation. You fill in only the two “points claimed” columns, and only for goals you can prove with the evidence the tender asks for.
A worked example
Illustrative only; every tender sets its own goals and evidence. Say an 80/20 tender allocates its 20 points for specific goals like this:
| Specific goal (from the tender) | 80/20 allocation | Points claimed |
|---|---|---|
| Exempted Micro Enterprise or Qualifying Small Enterprise | 10 | 10 |
| At least 51% owned by black people | 10 | 10 |
An EME that is wholly black owned, with the sworn affidavit the tender asks for, claims 10 + 10 = 20. If its price is R500 000 and the lowest acceptable price is R450 000, its price points are 80 × (1 − 50 000 ÷ 450 000) = 71.11, for a total of 91.11 out of 100.
The declaration
The form ends with your company’s details: the name of the company or firm, its company registration number, and a tick against one of eight types; partnership, joint venture or consortium; one-person business or sole proprietor; close corporation; public company; personal liability company; (Pty) Limited; non-profit company; or state-owned company. Then the surname and name of the signatory, the address, signature and date.

Open the free SBD 4 + SBD 9 toolWhat TenderFill does not do
- It checks your company’s readiness, not your bid. It reads the tender pack you upload and checks your company’s records and documents against it. It does not read or judge the bid you submit, and it may miss a requirement: the tender document is the authority.
- It does not guarantee compliance. Every pack requires your review before submission. You must still check signatures, pricing and tender-specific instructions.
- Your department’s own forms take precedence. Many bid packs ship their own layout of the SBD forms, and SBD 1 asks for bids on the official forms provided, not retyped. If your bid pack includes its own version of a form, fill in theirs; the Field Answer Sheet tells you what to write where.
- It fills the standard municipal forms, not a municipality’s own. For a municipal tender the pack is MBD 1, 4, 6.1, 7.2, 8 and 9 as National Treasury publishes them. Many municipalities issue their own versions, especially of MBD 4; fill in theirs from the Field Answer Sheet. It does not fill MBD 7.1 or 7.3, the goods and works contract forms, or any MBD 3 pricing schedule.
- It does not prepare a joint venture’s bid as one. Each party to a joint venture or consortium needs its own pack, and the tender will usually want the signed JV agreement too.
