How do I register as a supplier?

If you would like to do business with CapeNature, you will need to register on the Central Supplier Database (CSD). The process is explained here.

What documents do I need to register on the CSD?

  • Company registration with the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC)
  • Proof of banking details
  • Department of Labour documents (Workmen’s Compensation, Unemployment Insurance Fund)
  • South African Revenue Service (SARS) documents (VAT, PAYE, income tax registration)
  • SARS tax clearance certificate
  • Broad-based black economic empowerment (B-BBEE) rating certificate, including a preference points claim form (WCBD 6.1)

Following registration on the CSD, potential service providers must also register on the Western Cape Supplier Evidence Bank. CapeNature maintains a dual registration process that requires its suppliers to register on both the CSD and the Western Cape Supplier Evidence Bank (provincial database) for procurement via the eProcurement System (ePS), also known as the Integrated Procurement Solution (IPS).

Joint Ventures, Consortia and Subcontracting:

Most large tenders are composed of tasks in a number of different fields, and it is not always possible for a single company to cater for all of them, and therefore Joint Ventures and Consortia are formed to then submit a tender together.

Government tenders are also requiring the subcontracting of a percentage of the tender work, and the trouble is then finding Subcontractors to comply with the tender requirements

To assist companies with finding tender partners and subcontractors, you can now submit your contact details and company information on this page, so other interested parties can contact you for purposes of forming Joint Ventures and subcontracting

You will need to supply your details on every tender you are interested in tendering for. For this you need an active Business Listing - Register and Login at My Account to create a Business Listing
