March 2026 finds Gauteng’s public-sector security spend shifting decisively toward integrated electronic systems, yet 38 % of security bids still fail at compliance review because bidders misread PSIRA’s reach. With provincial treasury tightening the 2026/27 SCM rules and municipalities bundling CCTV, access control and armed-response into single tenders, the question is no longer *whether* PSIRA registration applies—it is how to keep every guard’s certificate synchronised with the company licence across a 36-month contract.
Gauteng’s 2026 security-tender market is worth just under R4.2 billion in state spend, yet 38% of security bids are disqualified at box-tick for two pieces of paper that sit in different government silos: an up-to-date PSIRA profile for every guard and a COIDA letter of good standing. With provincial departments now loading compliance checks directly onto the e-Wallet system, a lapse of even one calendar day is enough to push your bid to “non-responsive”. In a province where the average security contract runs five years, that is revenue you cannot afford to forfeit.
Gauteng's public-sector cybersecurity spend has jumped 42 % in the last 12 months, making compliant, future-proof bids the fastest route to sustainable revenue for local security firms. Yet 2026's tightening of the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) and the State Security Agency's new "Critical Infrastructure Cyber Directive" mean that a single expired guard certificate or an unsigned SBD 4 form now triggers instant disqualification. In this guide I walk you through what has changed, what is still tripping up SMEs, and how to bullet-proof your next submission.
Gauteng Provincial Treasury is tightening its-load oversight of electronic security and CCTV contracts in 2026: bidders are being disqualified at the 2-NIC evaluation stage not on price, but on expired PSIRA guard certificates. For contractors competing in the province’s R14 billion-plus security market, the penalty of one lapse can be a six-month exclusion from new work at a time when guard rates are now index-linked to the provincial minimum wage. This guide unpacks the registration maze so your company avoids costly rejections.
