Common questions

Do other service activities tenders require CSD registration?

2 109 other service activities tenders on record name it in their bid documents, and 80 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 other service activities tender without CSD registration?

Not on the ones listed here. Where a tender names CSD 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.

Is CSD registration compulsory to bid on government tenders?

Yes. Every supplier doing business with an organ of state must be registered on the Central Supplier Database. Most bid documents ask for your CSD number or a CSD summary report, and a bid without one is usually returned unread.

How much does CSD registration cost?

Nothing. Registration is free on the National Treasury portal at secure.csd.gov.za. You need your ID, company registration details and banking information. We charge only if you would rather we complete and verify it for you.

How long does CSD registration take?

The online form takes about an hour if your documents are in order. Verification against CIPC, SARS and your bank is automated and usually completes within a few days, though a mismatch in company or banking details will hold it up.
