Construction Tenders in South Africa

Construction is the largest tender category by value in South Africa. Almost every construction tender is gated by a CIDB grading, and the grade required scales with the size of the contract — so getting your CIDB registration and grade right is the single biggest hurdle between you and a construction bid. Buyers are dominated by Public Works, municipalities and state-owned entities.
