Abstract
The goal of this study was to determine the impact of Black Economic Empowerment (BEE)
on the tendering procedures and processes in the Ministry of Public Works, KwaZulu-Natal (KZN).
The study identified the problems with regard to the implementation of BEE within the
Ministry and insight was gained into how BEE policies are structured and the particular goals
set by the Ministry in that regard. This was undertaken with a view to determining the effect
that BEE has on public administration practice, with particular emphasis on the tendering
processes of the Ministry.
Based on insight gained through this research, the study concludes with a set of
recommendations which, hopefully, will improve BEE practices in tendering policies and
procedures in the Ministry.
This was a qualitative study, which collected data using structured questionnaires and one-onone
interviews with selected senior officials sampled from the population group within the
Ministry. In addition, the study utilised secondary information through a thorough literature
review of the subject matter as well as relevant reports, policies and legislation.
