Enterprise and Supplier Development (ESD) is about fostering the growth and sustainability of businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). It involves providing support through skills training, mentorship, access to finance, market linkages, and policy advocacy.
Under the revised B-BBEE Codes, Enterprise and Supplier Development encompasses Preferential Procurement, Supplier Diversity, Supplier Development, and Enterprise and Supplier Development programmes. The goal is to enhance business capabilities, drive economic growth, create jobs, and encourage innovation within the enterprise sector.
Why focus on Enterprise and Supplier Development
The Enterprise and Supplier Development process involves one-on-one collaboration with selected suppliers to improve their performance for the mutual benefit of your company and your supplier.
This results in improvements in the total added value from the selected supplier in terms of:
B-BBEE rating
Product or service offering
Business processes and performance
Improvements in lead times and delivery
Businesses can also invest in Enterprise Development (ED) initiatives. Enterprise Development involves company funding programmes and projects designed to upskill SMEs in the greater community, not only their direct suppliers.
Creating strong business collaboration is essential for success in the modern landscape. With over 27 years of expertise in delivering innovative training to professionals, MANCOSA is the perfect ally to guide you on your journey towards strengthening supplier skillsets and relationships. We are also dedicated to fostering a thriving, sustainable economy through our Enterprise and Supplier Development programme.
Companies can choose from a wide range of Enterprise and Supplier Development courses to upskill their suppliers or the broader SME community solutions. Depending on the skills area your business wishes to support, select from the accredited MANCOSA formal learning programmes and customised short learning programmes to sponsor to the suppliers and broader enterprise community.
Enterprise and Supplier Development involves established companies supporting and growing businesses, especially small, medium, and micro enterprises (SMMEs). This is done through training, funding, mentorship, and provision of resource access, aiming to enhance these emerging businesses' sustainability and economic impact.
In South Africa, small, medium, and micro enterprises (SMMEs), particularly those owned by historically disadvantaged individuals, can qualify for Enterprise and Supplier Development support. With MANCOSA, you can choose to develop a supplier you work with or SMEs in the community via one of our Enterprise and Supplier development programmes.
Enterprise Development and Enterprise Supplier Development enhance business-supplier relationships by fostering collaboration, improving communication, providing training, and ensuring reliable supply chains, thereby increasing mutual trust and efficiency.
