Tip #3: Understanding the Tender Landscape in South Africa

Winning tenders isn’t luck – it’s about knowing the rules of the game.

Here are the basics every SMME should know:

  • Government tenders follow laws like PFMA, MFMA & PPPFA
  • B-BBEE points can give your business an edge
  • You MUST be registered on the Central Supplier Database (CSD) to qualify
  • Stay updated – procurement rules change often!

When you understand how the tender system works, you stop missing out and start positioning your business to win real opportunities.
