Electrical Tenders in South Africa

There are 84 open electrical tenders in South Africa right now. Most are in Gauteng (19), Western Cape (18), Mpumalanga (12). Every one is pulled from the National Treasury eTenders system and refreshed daily.

An electrical tender is a government contract to supply, install or maintain electrical work — building electrics, substation and reticulation work, street lighting or standby-power systems. These are contracts you bid for and win, not products you buy off a shelf. To bid you normally need a registered electrician or a valid wireman's licence, and larger electrical contracts require a CIDB grading in the EB (electrical engineering) class. Eskom, municipalities and Public Works award the most electrical tenders, and they're scored on the 80/20 system — a competitive price plus a strong B-BBEE level is what wins the contract.
