Who buys here

How organs of state buy education and training

Training usually has to come from a provider accredited by the relevant SETA or by the QCTO for occupational qualifications, and notices ask for the accreditation letter, facilitators' CVs and the qualifications or unit standards covered. SETAs also fund learnerships and skills programmes through their own calls.

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.
