Departments may email tender invitations, notifications, or documents to registered suppliers on their databases (e.g., via the Central Supplier Database – CSD, which is mandatory for all suppliers doing business with government).
For Requests for Quotations (RFQs) (smaller procurements under R1 million), emails are commonly used to solicit quotes from a list of pre-approved or registered vendors.
Some departments offer email alerts or subscriptions for tender notifications. For example:
- You can subscribe to alerts on the eTender portal or specific department websites (e.g., Department of Public Works or SARS).
- If you’re registered on the CSD (csd.treasury.gov.za), you might receive targeted emails for opportunities matching your profile.

Register as a Supplier: Go to the CSD website and complete the free registration. This increases your chances of receiving email notifications.
Search for Tenders: Use etenders.treasury.gov.za to browse active tenders. You can filter by department, province, or category.
Contact Departments Directly: If you have a specific department in mind (e.g., Department of Health or Eskom), check their website for tender sections and contact their Supply Chain Management (SCM) unit for details on how they distribute info.

Cross-check on etenders.treasury.gov.za or call the department’s Supply Chain Management unit.
Report suspicions to the National Treasury (tenders@treasury.gov.za) or SAPS (fraud hotline: 0800 701 701).
Register on CSD (csd.treasury.gov.za) for real alerts.
