Questions

About solar tenders

How many solar tenders are open right now?

18 on 18 October 2026, from 10 public buyers on National Treasury's eTenders portal. 4 of them close within 7 days and 10 have a compulsory briefing session.

Which buyer advertises the most solar tenders?

ESKOM, with 8 open on 18 October 2026, followed by Public Works (2) and CASIDRA (SOC) Limited (1).

Are these all the tenders?

They are every matching tender on eTenders, where national and provincial government, state-owned companies and municipalities advertise. Municipalities also advertise smaller quotations (above R30,000) on their own websites and notice boards for at least seven days; Awardee is adding those sources buyer by buyer.

Can small businesses bid for solar tenders?

Yes. 3 of these are requests for quotation, the smaller jobs where buyers ask for written price quotes instead of a full tender. You need to be registered on the Central Supplier Database (CSD) and tax compliant.
