Localization
Selective localization to strengthen supply and competitiveness
SILA supports localization through partnerships with reputable Contract Manufacturing Organisations (CMOs). This approach helps strengthen supply resilience and supports tender eligibility where localization is required.
Our localization approach
- CMO partnerships for selected tender-eligible SKUs
- Supply redundancy principle: multiple approved local manufacturers per key category to reduce supply risk
- Phased transition strategy: moving high-volume products to local production as capabilities and business needs align
- B-BBEE pathway support: executed as a structured roadmap to enhance competitiveness for public sector opportunities
Why this matters
Localization is not only a procurement requirement—it’s also a practical way to reduce exposure to foreign exchange volatility and support consistent medicine availability.
