HIGHPOLICYGPWCKZNECLPMPNWFSNC National Treasury OCPO Instruction Notes
National Treasury has mandated the use of the CSD's RFQ module for all government quotations under R500,000, standardizing procurement processes and increasing digital compliance requirements for suppliers across all government entities.
Suppliers must now master the CSD RFQ functionality to participate in low-value government procurement, with non-compliance potentially excluding them from this market segment.
Mandatory digital RFQ submission through CSD for all government quotations below R500,000 threshold.
This standardization will reduce quotation processing time but may disadvantage smaller suppliers with limited digital capabilities; it represents a significant step toward full digital procurement transformation across all government tiers.
Suppliers who quickly adapt to the CSD RFQ system gain competitive advantage in the high-volume, low-value procurement market; technology providers offering CSD integration services may see increased demand.
Suppliers face exclusion from quotation-based procurement if they fail to comply with CSD RFQ requirements; increased administrative burden for smaller suppliers.
