Security Tenders in South Africa

There are 92 open security tenders in South Africa right now. Most are in Eastern Cape (15), KwaZulu-Natal (15), Western Cape (13). Every one is pulled from the National Treasury eTenders system and refreshed daily.

Security is one of the highest-volume tender categories in South Africa — government departments, schools, hospitals and state-owned companies all procure guarding, access control, CCTV and monitoring. On top of the usual CSD registration and tax compliance, most security tenders require your business to be registered with PSIRA (the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority), so that's the first box to tick.
