• What preparation does your procurement department need to do, and what strategy should you follow to achieve a successful rating?
• Which areas of expenditure can be excluded?
• How do you transform your expenditure quickly?
• Where do you get extra points? Are there any grey areas and how do we deal with those?
• What about BEE suppliers that we assist and develop?
• Which rating organisations' certificates should you accept as a procurement department?
