How do I get automotive sector tenders in Eastern Cape?

Target Coega Industrial Development Zone, VWSA, Mercedes-Benz SA, and Isuzu SA supply chain opportunities. Certification to IATF 16949 quality standards is often required. Register with Coega Development Corporation and the automotive OEM supplier databases.

What infrastructure opportunities exist in rural Eastern Cape?

Rural districts like O.R. Tambo (Mthatha region), Chris Hani, and Joe Gqabi have significant backlogs in school construction, clinic building, road infrastructure, and water/sanitation. The EPWP programme contracts many labour-intensive projects.

How does Nelson Mandela Bay procurement work?

Register on the Nelson Mandela Bay Supplier Database. The metro prioritizes local manufacturing and has specific requirements for supporting the automotive value chain. Procurement focuses on port development, infrastructure, and municipal services.
