Tenders and procurement

Tender notices as organs of state publish them on National Treasury’s eTender Publication Portal, each with the status the portal itself lists — advertised, closed, awarded, cancelled or withdrawn — and, where the portal’s open-contracting release states them, the supplier awarded, the award value and the contract. A notice is one record however many feeds list it; a tender value, an award value and a contract value are three different figures and are never added together.

Tender notices: 168 166; advertised 2021–2026
Organs of state: 774; buyers named by the portal
Awards published: 4 630; 3 223 suppliers; 1 065 contracts

Status as at: 11 October 2026; the portal's listing on that date

Suppliers with the most published awards

Ranked by the number of awards, not by value: award values are not summed anywhere on Mandate SA. Of the 996 awards that have a contract, 990 disagree with it — most often the award reads as the contract value with one to three extra digits, as if a decimal separator were lost at the source — and which figure is right is not established; 3 622 awards have no contract to check against. A supplier is one record per portal supplier id, never merged on a similar name.

How procurement records are kept

Each notice is one listing record of the portal, loaded through the audited pipeline and approved before publication, with the status the portal published on the date shown. Awards and contracts come from the portal’s open-contracting (OCDS) release of a tender, exactly as published: the supplier’s name as printed, the value, the contract reference and period. A refused release means the award was not retrieved, not that none exists. Mandate SA never infers an award, a winner or a payment, and never links a tender to a project on a name.
