Public procurement is high-stakes: one missed compliance item or a material legal gap can cost you tender eligibility, payments, or reputation. Our Compliance Risk Feasibility Studies identify B-BBEE vulnerabilities and legal exposures early so your bid is not only competitive but defensible.
We provide targeted reports under the service category Tender, Bid and Public Procurement Feasibility Reports to help organisations of all sizes approach tenders with confidence.
Why compliance feasibility matters now
Public buyers increasingly apply strict B-BBEE verification, preferential procurement criteria, and contract compliance checks. Non-compliance can lead to:
- Disqualification at submission for missing documentation or incorrect scorecards.
- Contract termination or fines when post-award audits reveal legal gaps.
- Delayed payments and performance risks from unresolved contractual obligations.
- Reputational damage when supplier integrity and compliance are questioned.
Early detection through a feasibility study converts unknown risks into a clear, actionable plan.
What we evaluate — focused, practical, and procurement-ready
Our feasibility studies combine regulatory review, document forensics and practical recommendations. We assess:
- Full B-BBEE scorecard alignment with the tender’s requirements.
- Statutory and contractual obligations that could trigger non-compliance.
- Ownership, employment equity, skills development, and preferential procurement practices.
- Subcontracting, JV and consortium structures for legal and compliance exposure.
- Administrative documentation (tax, company registrations, CIDB, SBD forms).
Our team of compliance analysts and legal researchers prepares reports that bidders can use immediately to fix gaps or justify exceptions.
Core components of the feasibility study
- Rapid intake and scope alignment with the tender documentation.
- Detailed B-BBEE scorecard reconciliation for the exact procurement criteria.
- Legal gap analysis against tender terms, special conditions and statutory obligations.
- Practical remediation roadmap with owners, timelines, and budget estimates.
- Risk register with severity ratings and mitigation measures.
