CPUT has successfully completed a BBBEE verification exercise for the first time.
BBBEE status is beneficial to tender processes and the acquisition of funding for a variety of projects currently running at the institution.
Our current status also makes CPUT an attractive business partner because our compliance adds value to whatever deals are brokered with the institution.
Contracts Officer Mariam Hartley says the status could not have come at a better time since the codes of practice governing BBBEE is about to change in May.
“That may have meant we would have had to restart the process or needed to comply with a whole new set of codes,” she says.
Acting Executive Director Finance Maresce Geduld-Jeftha commended Hartley for her hard work during the process.
“CPUT’s BBBEE compliance is a major achievement and especially for Mariam as the coordinator of the entire verification process,” she says.
CPUT currently has a level 5 status meaning it is 80% BBBEE compliant.
