Do cleaning companies need CIDB registration for government tenders?

No. Cleaning and hygiene services do not require CIDB registration as they are not construction-related. However, you must be CSD registered, tax compliant, and hold valid B-BBEE certification.

Which government entities issue the most cleaning tenders?

The Department of Justice (courts), Department of Education (schools), Department of Health (clinics and hospitals), South African Police Service (SAPS stations), and all municipalities regularly tender for cleaning services.

What is a typical cleaning services contract period?

Most government cleaning contracts run for 12–36 months. Some are annual with renewal options. Multi-year contracts above R500,000 typically go through formal tender processes rather than quotations.
