One of the major achievements on this project is the successful introduction and completion of an SMME development programme, hailed by the Coega Development Corporation as the best of 42 projects in progress in the Eastern Cape at the time. To date 47 SMME contractors have been appointed, ALL of them having successfully completed their respective contracts.
Work to the value of approximately R 106 million had been executed by SMME contractors, exceeding the R 95 million contractual target. All but three of the SMME contractors appointed were in the CIDB Grade 1 category and by the completion of their respective contracts were assisted in their application to Grade 3 level. To date four of them have received CIDB Grade 3 certification. A series of compulsory bi-weekly workshops was introduced on this projects for SMME contractors, consisting of modules covering all aspects construction, projects management, quality control, finances and human resource management.
The programme furthermore made provision for the invitation of SMME contractors that successfully completed their initial contracts to tender on packages in higher categories, and in the process six have completed their contracts after being reappointed to packages in the CIDB Grade 3 category. A series of workshops had also been conducted for local unemployed matriculants and some of them have been successfully integrated into the SMME contractors’ management structures.
