Enterprise & Supplier Development

Enterprise and Supplier Development is a priority element. Done well, it builds suppliers you will rely on for years. Done poorly, it becomes an annual cheque with little to show for it.

What we do

  • Design ESD programmes linked to your actual procurement needs
  • Select and assess beneficiaries, and confirm their eligibility
  • Structure recognisable contributions — grants, loans, preferential payment terms, overhead support and professional services
  • Set up beneficiary agreements, milestone tracking and impact measurement
  • Prepare the evidence the verification agency will expect
  • Plan beneficiary graduation into your supply chain

Our view

The best ESD programmes are designed backwards from the supply chain: start with what you need to buy, then build black-owned capacity to supply it.
