Who we are

Who we are

The supplier record South Africa can prove.

B1SA has spent two decades on one problem: knowing, for certain, who you are doing business with. What began in 2004 as a B-BBEE and supplier-compliance specialist is now a compliance-native group that verifies suppliers, proves transformation spend, and powers scored sourcing — so procurement becomes something you can prove, not just assert.

One group. One verified record.

B1SA is the group. Beneath it sit the B1LINK platform including the B1LINK eRFX sourcing solution. SupplierRate is a wholy owned subsidiary and our independent risk-intelligence layer. Our B-BBEE Solutions and ESG Solutions specialist layers further compliment our offering. One verified supplier record runs through all of them.

Mission

Our mission is to make South African procurement provable Every supplier verified, every rand of ESD spend auditable, every tender defensible. We turn compliance from a cost you minimise into confidence you can demonstrate.

What we stand for

Responsibility · Accountability · Learning · Collaboration · Innovation. In service of one standard: if we report it, you can prove it.
