Your targets, met. The admin, off your desk.
You have an ESD obligation, a budget, and a procurement team already at capacity. Meko does the preparation heavy lifting — turning your ESD spend into real, verifiable supplier development and a stronger supply chain.
ESD spend is easy. ESD that counts is hard.
Most corporates can write the cheque. What's difficult is finding the right beneficiaries, getting them genuinely ready, placing them where they add value, and ending up with evidence that survives verification. That's where the points — and the risk — actually live.
Finding suitable suppliers
Identifying black-owned EMEs and QSEs who can realistically serve your supply chain takes time your team doesn't have.
Getting them ready
Most candidates have gaps — compliance, financials, systems, capability — that must be closed before they can be onboarded.
Making the match stick
A once-off transaction earns little. Real recognition comes from suppliers who are placed well and keep delivering.
Surviving verification
Every claim needs primary evidence. Thin documentation turns genuine spend into lost points at audit.
We own the work between you and your suppliers.
Readiness assessment & gap analysis
We assess candidate suppliers against your real procurement and scorecard requirements and produce a clear, prioritised picture of every gap that stands between them and your supply chain.
Preparation heavy lifting
We close those gaps — B-BBEE affidavits and compliance documents, financial and operational readiness, pricing, systems and the capability-building the supplier needs to perform.
Matching into your supply chain
We place ready suppliers where they genuinely fit, so the relationship is commercial and durable — the kind that earns supplier-development recognition, not just a line item.
Verification-ready evidence
You receive clean, structured documentation and reporting mapped to the Codes — so your verification agency can recognise every rand of the work.
A scorecard you can defend and a supply chain that's stronger for it.
