Specialist Procurement

Blackburn Solutions is a proudly 100% Black Woman Owned Procurement Company with an accredited BBBEE level 1 status. Through a strategic network of specialized partners and self-owned production facilities we act as a ‘Single Source’ specialist procurement and sourcing organisation supplying a complete range of products and services in the signage, printing, branding and office supplies space..

Avoid the headaches and challenges inherent in managing your own network of print, signage, fulfilment, warehousing and distribution vendors.

Whether for marketing collateral, point-of-sale, store signage, channel support materials, or direct mail, each client partnership is designed to meet exact needs and business objectives.

BBBEE Preferential Procurement

Besides the benefits of procuring through a Level 1 100% Black Woman Owned entity, one of the easiest ways to earn BBBEE points is through the Enterprise and Supplier Development element. Utilising Blackburn Solutions will enable you to score the maximum number of points.

This element counts for 40 points on the Generic Scorecard and 30 points on the QSE scorecard.

This is an easy place to score points as it is split up into 3 sub-elements.

Depending on whether you have previously been a customer of Blackburn Solutions, we can help you with either of these categories.

These contributions can be monetary or non-monetary contributions.

Blackburn Solutions will supply all documentation to support your verification.
