GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR ARMSCOR VENDOR REGISTRATION

 

Armscor Policy

Only vendors registered on Armscor's vendor registration database will be considered for orders to supply Armscor's operational purchasing requirements.

 

What is vendor registration?

Vendor registration is the process whereby Armscor registers competent suppliers after determining the competency profiles of suppliers who wish to provide goods and services to Armscor, Armscor Business and Armscor's subsidiaries.

 

Who may apply?

All local companies are eligible for competency rating and potential registration as vendors. All potential local vendors of the required goods and services should apply for registration. Sole suppliers of goods/services must please return documentary proof of such status with their application for registration. The entity in whose name an order is placed, must be registered. A subsidiary or business unit of a major company must liaise with its head office before applying for registration. The conglomerate/head office will normally not be registered but a subsidiary or business unit will be registered as - "Conglomerate/Head office trading as ..."

Confirmation of registration

Applicants are considered to be registered once a properly completed application form has been received and the details have been captured on Armscor's electronic vendor registration database. Registration will be confirmed in writing.

 

Methodology

As part of the tender evaluation process, all registered vendors are evaluated to determine their BEE status before they are contracted. A potential vendor's financial soundness will be assessed with the aid of a classification system to identify the contracting implications and potential risks to Armscor. These assessments will be taken into account during the tender evaluation and authorization process. A copy of the vendor's latest annual financial statements and SARS Tax Clearance Certificate will be required for this purpose. As further confirmation of registration, registered vendors will be supplied with registration certificates after evaluation of their BEE status.

 

Confidentiality

All information provided for registration purposes is treated as confidential and is for the use of Armscor only. However, the names of all registered vendors and the general nature of their involvement with Armscor will be public knowledge.

 

Change in status

Armscor's Black Economic Empowerment and Internal Audit Divisions will continuously monitor the relevant competencies of registered vendors, and ARMSCOR reserves the right to revise a vendor's competency rating at any time. Registered suppliers will be expected to notify the BEE Manager, Armscor Vendor Registration, of any changes in ownership, name, products and services so as to determine the effect of such changes on their competency rating.

 

Cancellation/Withdrawals

Vendors who wish to cancel or withdraw their registration as vendors must do so in writing.

 

Assistance

The BEE Manager, Armscor Vendor Registration, may be approached by a potential supplier for the necessary assistance to become a registered Armscor vendor.
