Overwhelming support for DA’s ‘Social Impact Bill’
17 August 2022
Note to Editors: Please find attached soundbite by Dean Macpherson MP.
The DA has received overwhelming public support for our proposed Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Amendment Act or ‘Social Impact Bill’ following the Notice of Intention and Invitation for Comment in the Government Gazette.
83.3% of the comments we received supported our Bill, 13.3% were neutral and 3.3% expressed opposition.
Our ‘Social Impact Bill’ seeks to remove broad-based black economic empowerment (BBBEE) from the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act (PPPFA), and rather award tenders based on competency or adherence to specific social development goals (SDGs).
