Common questions

Do disposals tenders require CIDB registration?

23 disposals tenders on record name it in their bid documents, and 4 of those are open right now. It is not universal — plenty of tenders in this category do not ask for it — but on this kind of work it is common enough to plan for.

Can I bid on a disposals tender without CIDB registration?

Not on the ones listed here. Where a tender names CIDB registration as a requirement, a bid without it is normally disqualified at the administrative stage, before anyone opens your pricing. That is the expensive part: you do the work of pricing a bid and it is never read.

Do I need CIDB registration to bid on construction tenders?

For public-sector construction work, yes. The Construction Industry Development Board register is a legal requirement for contractors bidding on state construction projects, and the tender will state the minimum grading.

What do the CIDB grades mean?

A grading is a number from 1 to 9 plus a class of works, such as 3GB or 6CE. The number caps the contract value you may tender for, rising from a few hundred thousand rand at grade 1 to unlimited at grade 9. The letters describe the type of work, for example GB for general building and CE for civil engineering.

Can I bid above my CIDB grade?

No. Bidding above your grading is one of the most common reasons a construction bid is disqualified before evaluation. You must either hold the required grade or upgrade first.
