Appointment of a service provider to conduct tourism, marketing and development in the cederberg municipal area (labour only)
Cederberg municipality requires a service provider to conduct tourism, marketing and development across the cederberg municipal area, engaged on a labour-only basis under bid ced 09/2026-2027. the closing date has been extended to friday, 16 october 2026 at 12h00. Offers must be delivered physically to the tender box at 2a voortrekker street, clanwilliam, and may only be submitted on the bid documentation issued by the municipality.
Supply, support and maintenance of public key infrastructure, software, services, development and licensing
The city of cape town requires the supply, support and maintenance of public key infrastructure (pki), software, services, development and licensing over a 72-month contract, divided into four schedules: support of the existing appviewx pki system, a new or replacement pki system, public certificate authority certificates, and a cyber security development programme. Bidders may bid for all or fewer schedules, but only one of schedule a or schedule b will be awarded, while schedules c and d appoint a highest-ranked bidder plus one alternative on a winner-takes-all basis. Schedules a and b are gated by a functionality evaluation with a minimum qualifying score of 60 out of 100, and oem/osm or accredited-distributor authorisation valid as at the closing date is mandatory for schedules a, b and c. The single most consequential consideration is that a bid must comply in all respects with the conditions of tender, the specifications and the pricing instructions — any material deviation, incomplete or unsigned returnable schedule, or lapsed oem authorisation renders the bid non-responsive.
Supply and delivery of black, blue, yellow, green, clear and brown refuse bags
Mossel bay municipality invites tenders for the supply and delivery of black, blue, yellow, green, clear and brown refuse bags over a three-year period from 1 july 2027 to 30 june 2030. Bidders must submit on original documents, with tenders valid for 120 days after closing. Evaluation uses the 80/20 or 90/10 preference point system, with half of the preference points allocated for b-bbee scorecard and half for locality. The most consequential consideration is the locality component, which can significantly affect the final score.
UPS maintenance - adms
The city of cape town requires a 36-month maintenance contract for the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems supporting its adms. Bidders must demonstrate proven UPS systems experience, competent technical personnel, original-equipment-manufacturer support with genuine parts, and battery string project references, each evidenced on the schedule f.13 Returnable forms. Sealed offers close at 10:00 on 04 november 2026 in tender box 184 at the civic centre, with a strongly recommended site visit and clarification meeting at the bloemhof electrical depot on 13 october 2026 at 10:00. The most consequential risk is disqualification: an offer not lodged in the correct box before closing time, an unmarked envelope, or incomplete and unsigned returnable schedules will not be considered.
Provision of network support services, hosting and voip services
Cederberg municipality requires a service provider for the provision of network support services, hosting and voip services under bid ced 14/2026-2027. the closing date has been extended to monday, 02 november 2026 at 12h00, from the original closing date of 26 october 2026. Bids must be delivered physically to the tender box at 2a voortrekker street, clanwilliam, and may only be submitted on the bid documentation issued by cederberg municipality. The most consequential point for bidders is that NO evaluation criteria, compulsory briefing arrangements or pre-qualification thresholds are published with the extension notice, so the full bid document must be obtained from the municipality.
Supply and delivery of 185mm² cu x 3 core 11kv mv underground cable
Mossel bay municipality requires the supply and delivery of 185mm² copper, 3 core, 11kv medium voltage underground cable (paper insulated lead covered, SANS 97, table 18) to its stores in schoeman street, mossel bay, under a contract ending 30 june 2027. Bids close on 23 october 2026 at 12:00 and responsive bids are scored on the 80/20 or 90/10 preference point system, with half of the goal points for b-bbee status level and half for locality. The single most consequential consideration is that the bid must be submitted on the original document, signed in black ink, supported by a SARS tax compliance status pin, a compensation commissioner letter of good standing and municipal accounts for the bidder and its directors — missing pages, retyping or unauthorised alterations disqualify the bid outright.

What is AI-powered tender matching?
AI-powered tender matching uses machine learning to analyze your company profile—including industry codes, B-BBEE level, provinces of operation, and capabilities—to automatically find and recommend South African tenders that match your business. This saves hours of manual searching and helps you discover opportunities you might otherwise miss.
How does the AI matching work?
Our AI analyzes your company profile, including industry codes, B-BBEE level, provinces of operation, and past performance. It then matches you with tenders that align with your capabilities and increases your likelihood of success. The system learns from your application history to improve recommendations over time.
What types of tenders are available on Tenders SA?
We aggregate tenders from national, provincial, and municipal government departments, state-owned enterprises (like Eskom, Transnet, and SANRAL), and public entities across all sectors including construction, IT, consulting, supplies, services, and more.

Do I need CSD registration to apply for government tenders?
Yes, registration on the Central Supplier Database (CSD) is mandatory for all suppliers wanting to do business with the South African government. Tenders SA helps you understand CSD requirements and guides you through the registration process with step-by-step tutorials.
