Who buys here
How organs of state buy engineering and design
Engineers, architects, quantity surveyors and project managers are appointed as professional service providers: tenders score functionality first (experience, key staff, method) and only bids above the threshold go on to price and preference points. Key staff must be registered with their council, such as ECSA, SACAP, SACQSP or SACPCMP.
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.
