The South African government tender bulletin, live

The tender bulletin is how government advertises what it wants to buy. It used to mean a printed weekly gazette; now the notices are published to the National Treasury eTenders system, and departments, municipalities and state-owned companies each publish their own. This page is all of them in one searchable list — open tenders and the RFQs (requests for quotation) used for smaller jobs — refreshed daily, so a notice appears here the day it opens. No portal login, no weekly PDF to page through.

Looking for a specific one? The Gauteng tender bulletin, the Limpopo provincial tender bulletin and the Eskom tender bulletin each have their own live list.

Ready to bid? What Tender Ready SA sells

Listings and guides stay free. Three things are paid, and each solves a different stage:

Start with the forms that disqualify people

Most first-time bids are thrown out on the standard bidding documents, before the price is read. These three are free, and they are where to start:

  • SBD forms explained — every standard bidding document in one place: which appear in your pack, which are scored, and which are simply gates.
  • SBD 4 — bidder's disclosure — the declaration of any connection to someone employed by the state, and the form that now absorbs the old SBD 8 and SBD 9.
  • CSD registration — the free Central Supplier Database number you cannot be awarded a tender without.
