Who buys here
How organs of state buy defence
The Department of Defence and the SANDF tender for food, fuel, clothing, facility maintenance and vehicle repairs like other departments, while Armscor acquires defence equipment under its own act. Work inside military bases needs access approval, some contracts need security clearance for staff, and controlled items need permits under the National Conventional Arms Control Act.
Organs of state buy under section 217 of the Constitution and either the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA), for departments and public entities, or the Municipal Finance Management Act (MFMA), for municipalities. The Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act and its 2022 regulations add 80/20 or 90/10 preference points for the specific goals each tender names. Bidders need Central Supplier Database (CSD) registration, a tax compliance status confirmed by SARS and, to claim B-BBEE points, a certificate or sworn affidavit. Missing a compulsory briefing session disqualifies a bid.
