best practice schemes

The cidb Act (Act 38 of 2000) requires that the Board must, within a reasonable period after the establishment of the register of contractors, establish a Best Practice Contractor Recognition Scheme which:

enables organs of state to manage risk on complex contracting strategies; and

promotes contractor development in relation to best practice standards and guidelines developed by the Board.

The Act also requires that the Board must establish a Best Practice Project Assessment Scheme based on the best practices identified by the Board. All construction contracts above a prescribed tender value will then be subject to an assessment of compliance with best practice standards and guidelines published by the Board.

The Best Practice Schemes are currently being developed in partnership with industry, and the following discussion documents are available:
