Supplier Registration

Any company that wishes to register as a supplier with the SAAO must be registered on the supplier database. The SAAO has moved away from a shared database with the National Research Foundation and will use the Central Supplier Database (CSD) of the National Treasury. The database offers the benefit of a central portal for suppliers to register once-off, and all government departments, state-owned enterprises, and publicly funded institutions will have access to these suppliers.
