The Access to Government Procurement Opportunities (AGPO) programme reserves a share of public tenders for youth, women and persons-with-disability owned enterprises.
Key insights
- Eligibility depends on ownership structure — the enterprise must be majority owned by the qualifying group.
- AGPO registration is separate from, and in addition to, standard business and tax compliance requirements.
- Supporting documents (ownership evidence, tax compliance certificate) need to be current, not just valid at the time of first registration.
Compliance tips
- Keep your tax compliance certificate and statutory filings current — lapses can affect AGPO standing even after initial approval.
- Review your AGPO registration annually alongside other regulatory renewals.
