Explanation of Terms

0GB / Potentially Emerging Enterprises

A designation for small contractors who are in the development phase and working towards achieving higher grading levels. These enterprises may participate in tenders under specific conditions aimed at promoting economic transformation, though eligibility in this tender is restricted.

CSD Register

The Central Supplier Database, a national repository maintained by the National Treasury where suppliers register to do business with government entities. Registration is mandatory for most public sector contracts to verify supplier information.

SBD 6.1

Burglar Door vs. Inner Door

A Burglar Door is a reinforced security door designed to resist forced entry, typically featuring heavy-duty frames, anti-saw features, and robust locking mechanisms. An Inner Door is a standard interior door used for room separation within a building, generally requiring less security reinforcement than external burglar doors.
