Questions

Government tenders, answered

Where can I find government tenders in South Africa?

National Treasury's eTenders portal lists tenders from national and provincial departments, state-owned companies and municipalities: 2,211 were open on 18 October 2026. Some municipalities also advertise quotations only on their own websites; Awardee adds 588 of those. Awardee shows every one of them, free, with each buyer's record. Municipalities also post smaller quotations on their own websites.

How many tenders close this week?

1,206 of the 2,799 open tenders close within 7 days of 18 October 2026, and 896 have a compulsory briefing session that bidders must attend.

What is the difference between a tender and an RFQ?

A tender (request for bid) is the formal process for bigger contracts. A request for quotation (RFQ) asks for written price quotes on smaller jobs. 1,038 RFQs were open on eTenders on 18 October 2026.

Is Awardee the government tender site?

No. Awardee is an independent service. The official source is National Treasury's eTenders portal; Awardee reads it daily and links to each tender's documents there.
