Public-sector tenders in South Africa are issued by national and provincial departments, municipalities, and state-owned entities. The National Treasury runs the eTender Publication Portal, where many government tenders are advertised, but some bodies also publish on their own websites. Private companies issue tenders and requests for proposals separately. This page gathers open opportunities in one place so you can find ones that fit your business.
What suppliers usually need before bidding
Requirements vary by tender, but government bids commonly ask for registration on the Central Supplier Database (CSD), a valid tax compliance status from SARS, and a B-BBEE certificate or affidavit. Always check the bid documents for the exact list, the closing date and time, any compulsory briefing session, and how to submit.
Tips for finding the right tenders
Start with your province and category, then check closing dates first, since late bids are normally disqualified. Read the specification and evaluation criteria (usually price and preference points) before you decide to bid.
