CancelledKwaZulu-Natal's legislature sits in Pietermaritzburg, while Durban, under eThekwini, is the economic centre and home to the Port of Durban. The Port of Richards Bay, the Dube TradePort near Durban, the sugar and forestry industries and large rural districts shape the mix of logistics, construction and infrastructure tenders.
Tenders here are published by the eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality, the province's ten district municipalities (including uMgungundlovu, King Cetshwayo and Ugu), and KwaZulu-Natal provincial departments, as well as state-owned entities and private companies operating in the province.
Larger buying centres include Durban, Pietermaritzburg, Richards Bay, Newcastle and Ladysmith. The provincial capital is Pietermaritzburg.
KwaZulu-Natal combines a busy coastal corridor with large rural districts, so tenders range from port and logistics supply near Durban and Richards Bay to roads, water and community facilities inland. Check the location of the work and whether a compulsory site briefing applies.
For the documents most government buyers ask for, see how tenders work in South Africa.
eThekwini, which includes Durban, is the province's only metropolitan municipality. The other ten are district municipalities, such as uMgungundlovu (which includes Pietermaritzburg) and King Cetshwayo (which includes Richards Bay).
Most government buyers require registration on the Central Supplier Database (CSD) and tax compliance. Check each tender's bid documents for the full list.
