B-BBEE Level 1: What It Means for Your Procurement Strategy

As a B-BBEE Level 1 contributor (100% Black Youth Owned), GTL Telecoms offers maximum procurement recognition for your business. Here's why that matters.

What is B-BBEE Level 1?

Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) is South Africa's framework for economic transformation. Companies are rated on a scorecard from Level 1 (best) to Non-Compliant.

Procurement Recognition

When you spend with a Level 1 supplier like GTL Telecoms:

  • **135% procurement recognition** on your B-BBEE scorecard
  • Full recognition for your Enterprise Development (ED) spend
  • Maximum points under the preferential procurement element
  • For Corporate Clients

    Your procurement team should prioritise Level 1 suppliers for ICT services. Every rand spent with GTL Telecoms counts more towards your B-BBEE scorecard than spending with non-compliant suppliers.

    Beyond Scoring — Real Value

    B-BBEE isn't just about points. When you choose GTL Telecoms, you get:
