In terms of sections 5(2) of the Construction Industry Development Board Act, 2000 (Act no. 38 of 2000) (the Act), the Construction Industry Development Board is empowered to promote best practice Standards. The Board has identified the cidb Standard for Minimum Requirements for Engaging Contractors and Sub-Contractors on Construction Works Contracts as a best practice Standard on work packages of a value greater than that equivalent to the upper limit of the tender value range of Grade 1.

This Standard establishes minimum requirements in the appointment of principal contractors and sub-contractors on construction works contracts in terms of compliance in terms of good standing with COIDA, registration with the relevant bargaining council(s), if any, a written contract between the principal contractor and subcontractors, and payment requirements in terms of a contract.

This Standard updates and replaces the cidb Standard for Minimum Requirements for Engaging Contractors and Sub-Contractors on Construction Works Contracts published in the government Gazette 41237 of 10 November 2017 by including reference to the General Conditions of Subcontracting for use when the General Conditions of Contract for Construction Works (GCC) is used for the principal contractor.
