Published by National Research FoundationNorthern CapeBuyer reference: NRF/SAAO/RFQ/119108
The Northern Cape is South Africa's largest province by area and its least populated, with Kimberley as its capital. Iron ore, manganese and diamond mining, large solar and wind energy projects and irrigated farming along the Orange River drive much of the economy, and long distances make roads, transport and water infrastructure frequent tender themes.
Who issues tenders in the Northern Cape?
Tenders here are published by the Frances Baard, John Taolo Gaetsewe, Namakwa, Pixley ka Seme and ZF Mgcawu district municipalities, their local municipalities, and Northern Cape provincial departments, as well as state-owned entities and private companies operating in the province.
Main towns and cities
Larger buying centres include Kimberley, Upington, Springbok, Kathu and De Aar. The provincial capital is Kimberley.
