Who buys here
How organs of state buy medical and pharmaceutical
Provincial health departments buy most medicines through national contracts awarded by the National Department of Health and tender the rest themselves. Medicines must be registered with SAHPRA, the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority, which also licenses medical device establishments. Notices ask for registration numbers, shelf life on delivery and, for equipment, maintenance and 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.
