Question 1

How do I find tenders from City of Tshwane?

Accepted Answer

ProTenders aggregates every City of Tshwane tender we can source from the official eTenders.gov.za portal, the municipality's own website and procurement notices, and the Government Tender Bulletin. Each City of Tshwane tender is enriched with buyer, category, value, and closing date so you can filter quickly without opening each PDF. The fastest workflow is to set a free ProTenders alert for "City of Tshwane" plus your keywords, you will receive an email the same day a new notice is published, usually hours ahead of competitors who check portals manually. You can also check the municipality's own SCM or Procurement notice board at the relevant office and their website's "Tenders" or "Bids" page for any local notices that have not yet been syndicated to eTenders.

Question 2

What is City of Tshwane's procurement process?

Accepted Answer

City of Tshwane's procurement is governed by the Municipal Finance Management Act (MFMA, Act 56 of 2003) and Section 111 Supply Chain Management Regulations, together with the municipality's council-approved SCM policy. Competitive bids flow through a three-tier committee structure: the Bid Specification Committee writes the terms of reference, the Bid Evaluation Committee scores compliant bids on functionality and price/B-BBEE, and the Bid Adjudication Committee recommends the award to the Accounting Officer (Municipal Manager). From closing date to award typically takes 6–12 weeks for straightforward contracts and longer for complex infrastructure. Successful bidders are published on the municipality's website, and unsuccessful bidders can request a debriefing and lodge an objection within the 7-day appeal window before the contract is signed.

Question 3

Does City of Tshwane have a supplier database?

Accepted Answer

City of Tshwane, like every other South African organ of state, uses the National Treasury Central Supplier Database (CSD) at csd.treasury.gov.za as the single authoritative source of supplier information. Registration is free and mandatory before you can receive any payment from government. Once registered you get a CSD number and MAAA report that must be attached to every bid. Some municipalities still maintain a secondary local supplier database for informal RFQ pools, but CSD is always the primary requirement. Keep your CSD record current, tax status, B-BBEE, and banking details are re-verified on every submission, and an expired tax PIN or mismatched bank account is one of the most common disqualifiers on City of Tshwane tenders.

Question 4

Question 5

How does City of Tshwane score B-BBEE on tenders?

Accepted Answer

City of Tshwane applies the preference point system defined in the 2022 Preferential Procurement Regulations. For tenders up to R50 million (including VAT), the split is 80 points for price and 20 points for B-BBEE; above R50 million it becomes 90/10. Your B-BBEE contributor level (1–8) determines the points you earn out of 20 or 10. City of Tshwane may also apply pre-qualification criteria under Regulation 4, restricting a tender to specific B-BBEE levels, to EMEs and QSEs, or to designated groups (black women-owned, youth-owned, or persons with disabilities). Read the pre-qualification clause first, missing that threshold means your price is never opened, no matter how competitive it is.
