How organs of state buy furniture and equipment

Office and school furniture, appliances and equipment are bought by tender or request for quotation, with specifications that set sizes, materials and standards for each item. Furniture tenders often ask for samples, and equipment tenders for warranties, delivery, installation and user training.

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.
