Civil Engineering tenders in South Africa — live government civil engineering contracts
Live civil engineering tenders from South African government departments, municipalities and state-owned companies, updated daily.

Civil engineering tenders — roads, bridges, water and stormwater reticulation, sewerage and earthworks — are gated hard by CIDB grading in the CE (Civil Engineering) class, and the grade required scales with the contract value. SANRAL, Public Works, Water and Sanitation and municipalities are the dominant buyers. Getting your CIDB CE grade right is the single biggest thing standing between you and a civil bid; without it you're disqualified before your price is read.
