Tendering in Gauteng
Where Gauteng publishes its tenders
Three channels matter here. National Treasury's eTenders portal carries national departments and most public entities, all headquartered in Pretoria or Johannesburg. The Gauteng provincial portal carries provincial departments. And the three metros, the City of Johannesburg, the City of Tshwane and Ekurhuleni, run their own e-procurement portals, with the City of Johannesburg using its own isupply system.
The three metros are the volume
Between them, the metros issue more tenders than most provinces combined, across construction, cleaning, security, ICT and professional services. Each metro has its own supplier database registration on top of the national CSD, and each runs weekly RFQ cycles that close fast.
Reading the eTenders Gauteng feed properly
The national eTenders feed lists Gauteng tenders with the buyer and the delivery province in the tender data, but it mixes metros, provinces and national departments in one list. Filtering by buyer type (metro, provincial department, national entity) is what makes the volume manageable, and it is how the Bidcheck Gauteng page is organised.
