Buying pattern
The South African Bureau of Standards (SABS) has published 17 notices that we hold between 7 Sept 2026 and 22 Oct 2026, most often in Construction & Infrastructure (5). Half of its notices give bidders 8 days or less between publication and the deadline, so a supplier who checks weekly will see almost every one in time. The usual procedure is the open tender.
