Find a Joint Venture Partner for Government Tenders
South African public procurement is built around partnership: minimum CIDB grades, B-BBEE set-asides, and the 30% subcontracting rule mean most firms cannot win the biggest work alone. Browse potential joint venture partners by sector and province — every company listed has a proven government tender award history — then rank them against your own profile with the JV Partner Finder.
By sector
Construction tenders require a minimum CIDB grade, so a joint venture that combines partner capability is often the only way to reach a higher-graded project.
Multidisciplinary projects frequently need an electrical (EP) partner alongside civil and mechanical contractors — a JV lets you cover every required class of works.
ICT tenders often demand both delivery capacity and B-BBEE credentials; a JV can pair a technical lead with a designated-group partner to meet set-aside and subcontracting rules.
Consulting panels reward proven track record and B-BBEE level. A JV pooling experience and preference points strengthens both the functionality and preference scores.
Security tenders are often set aside for specific B-BBEE levels or designated groups — partnering with a qualifying firm can be the difference between eligibility and exclusion.
Cleaning contracts favour EME/QSE participation. A JV between a larger operator and a black-owned EME helps satisfy the 30% subcontracting requirement on bigger contracts.
Transport tenders reward regional presence and fleet capacity — a JV with a locally based partner covers a provincial-presence requirement you may lack.
Health tenders combine strict compliance with B-BBEE preference; a JV can pair an accredited supplier with a strong contributor-level partner.
Catering contracts are commonly set aside for EMEs and designated groups — a JV lets a larger caterer meet those preferential requirements.
General supply tenders turn on price and B-BBEE preference; a JV that lifts your consolidated contributor level directly improves your preference points.
