The Construction Industry Development Board Act, 2000 (Act 38 of 2000) defines the construction industry as “the broad conglomeration of industries and sectors which add value in the creation and maintenance of fixed assets within the built environment”. The Construction Industry Development Regulations issued in terms of this Act defines construction procurement as “procurement in the construction industry, including the invitation, award and management of contracts”. Accordingly, construction procurement involves not only construction works contracts, but also supplies contracts that involve the purchase of construction materials and equipment and services contracts relating to any aspect of construction including professional services. It also involves demolitions.
