To claim BBBEE procurement recognition on branded merchandise spend, buy from a supplier with a verified BBBEE rating and keep the supplier's certificate on file. ITLX is a BBBEE Level 1 contributor, which means every rand your company spends with ITLX counts as R1.35 on your preferential procurement scorecard.

Why procurement recognition matters
Preferential procurement is one of the highest-weighted elements on the BBBEE scorecard for most companies. Level 1 recognition at 135% means your branded merchandise spend works harder than spend with a lower-rated supplier. For companies working with government or state-owned entities, supplier BBBEE status is often a gate — non-compliant suppliers are excluded entirely.
