How they buy

South African public procurement is decentralised across national and provincial departments, municipalities and state-owned entities, with notices published on the National Treasury eTender portal and on individual entities' own sites. Municipal and utility procurement is a substantial share of the market.

Across the real estate & facilities notices we currently hold for South Africa, the most common form is the open tender or invitation to bid. Each has its own rules — see RFP, RFQ and EOI compared and tendering procedures explained.

What qualifies you

Suppliers must be registered on the Central Supplier Database, and tax compliance status is verified at award. Evaluation applies preference points under the preferential procurement framework alongside price, so B-BBEE status directly affects scoring. Mandatory returnable documents are strictly applied and omissions are a common cause of disqualification.

Real-estate and facilities tenders include property leasing, facility management, housekeeping, security and building maintenance. Service contracts define scope, manpower, service levels and penalties, and often run for multiple years. Price for the full term and confirm any statutory-compliance and manpower obligations.

Before committing effort, it is worth running a deliberate bid/no-bid decision and checking your submission against the responsiveness checklist.
