Frequently asked questions

What does this check?+

It searches National Treasury's public Restricted Supplier and Tender Defaulter Report — the official register of companies and individuals barred from doing business with South African organs of state for fraud, corruption, misrepresentation, or non-performance.

Is this the same as being blacklisted by a specific department?+

It's the National Treasury central register, which most organs of state are supposed to check before awarding a contract. It is not the same as being flagged internally by one department that hasn't yet reported the restriction centrally — reporting is inconsistent, especially among municipalities and smaller public entities.

If a company doesn't appear here, does that mean it's safe to work with?+

No. Absence from this register is not proof of a clean record — it only means no organ of state has (yet) reported a restriction against that specific name to National Treasury. Always run your own due diligence, especially for high-value contracts or subcontracting relationships.

How current is this data?+

This tool searches a periodically refreshed snapshot of National Treasury's published report, not a live real-time feed. For anything decision-critical, verify against the official PDF (linked on every result) before acting.
