Who buys here

How organs of state buy events and marketing

Events, venues, catering, sound and staging, advertising and campaigns are bought by tender or request for quotation, often as panels or term contracts used event by event. National departments place much of their media buying through GCIS, the Government Communication and Information System. Dates are fixed, so notices stress capacity and references.

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.
