Evaluation & Conflict-of-Interest
Structured bid evaluation with automated conflict-of-interest checks under PPPFA and PFMA.
What It Does
Guide evaluation committees through a structured, scoring-based assessment process. Built-in conflict-of-interest declarations flag relationships between evaluators and bidders before scoring begins. The system enforces minimum committee sizes, requires documented justification for scores, and locks evaluations once submitted — preventing retroactive changes.
Parallel evaluation tracks enable independent scoring with consolidated views for consensus meetings. Automatic calculation of BBBEE preference points and price corrections ensures scoring accuracy and consistency across all evaluated bids.
Why It Matters for South African SCM
The PPPFA requires fair, equitable, transparent, competitive, and cost-effective procurement. Conflict-of-interest management is a recurring audit finding in South African public procurement. AzaniaSCM automates these controls, creating an audit trail that demonstrates compliance and protects evaluation outcomes from challenge.
Under the Public Procurement Act, evaluation committees must be properly constituted and their independence verified. The platform's declaration workflow ensures every member's potential conflicts are documented before evaluation begins, protecting the integrity of the outcome and the reputations of committee members.
