OpenThe Free State's capital is Bloemfontein, which falls under the Mangaung Metropolitan Municipality. The province's economy leans on agriculture, mining and the petrochemical industry around Sasolburg, and its position on major national routes makes roads and transport a recurring tender theme.
Tenders here are published by the Mangaung Metropolitan Municipality, the Fezile Dabi, Lejweleputswa, Thabo Mofutsanyana and Xhariep district municipalities, and Free State provincial departments, as well as state-owned entities and private companies operating in the province.
Larger buying centres include Bloemfontein, Welkom, Bethlehem, Sasolburg and Kroonstad. The provincial capital is Bloemfontein.
The Free State sits between Gauteng and the Cape provinces, so delivery distances to Bloemfontein, Welkom or Bethlehem can be significant. Check whether a compulsory briefing session applies and where it is held, especially for tenders outside Mangaung.
For the documents most government buyers ask for, see how tenders work in South Africa.
Mangaung, which includes Bloemfontein, is the Free State's only metropolitan municipality. Other tenders come from the province's four district municipalities and the local municipalities within them.
Most government buyers require registration on the Central Supplier Database (CSD) and tax compliance. Check each tender's bid documents for the full list.
