Frequently asked questions

Which document should I rely on?

Always use the publishing organisation's current invitation and official amendments. This glossary explains terms; it does not change tender conditions.

Source and independence

Tender notices are published by National Treasury through the eTenders portal and by the individual buying institutions, which remain the authoritative sources.
