1. INTRODUCTION

• Inclusive procurement (IP), Enterprise and Supplier Development (ESD) are strategies
aimed at promoting economic growth and social equity by actively engaging diverse
suppliers and supporting the growth of small and historically disadvantaged suppliers.
• Impala Platinum Limited – Rustenburg Operations has embarked on a journey to integrate
its approach to Inclusive Procurement (IP) and Enterprise and Supplier Development
(ESD) and sustainably enhance its efforts for greater mine community value and impact.

INFORMATION (RFI)

• To this end, Impala Rustenburg has embarked on a four-phased project to identify, validate,
and establish a list of potential set-aside opportunities through methodically assessing
Mine community capability and competency linked to identified procurement opportunities
whereafter execution by the commercial team will commence for matched opportunities
during the financial years 2024 and 2025.
• The first segment of Phase 1: Idenfication and Phase 2: Validation has been completed
and through this Request For Information (RFI) are commencing with Phase 3: Market
Assessment through RFI. This phase focuses on the execution of the market assessment
on the initial identified opportunities and intends to achieve outcomes that will produce a
potential list of opportunities that can be set-aside for the Mine community (Tier 1) suppliers
moreover enable the development of targeted and fit for purpose ESD initiatives linked to
the opportunity sets/commodity areas which would be further enriched by the conduct of
supplier diagnostics.
• Through this phase, Impala Rustenburg operations, strives to engage more meaningfully
through IP/ESD and share procurement opportunities well in advance to enable Mine
community suppliers to be better positioned when the opportunity arise.
