Common questions

How many Eastern Cape tenders require CIDB registration?

32 open right now, out of 564 on record for Eastern Cape. The list below shows open tenders first, and the numbers change daily as notices are published and close.

Can I bid on a Eastern Cape tender without CIDB registration?

Not on these ones — where a tender lists CIDB registration as a requirement, a bid without it is normally disqualified at the administrative stage before anyone reads your pricing. Tenders that do not ask for it are a separate list; browse the other requirement pages to find them.

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.
