COVID-19

The benefits for the private sector includes:

• The reduction of red tape and administrative effort when doing business with the Municipality.
• Compliance requirements will be easy to meet for suppliers that are in good standing on the various compliance requirements. The CSD will have interfaces to South African Revenue Service (SARS) to enable tax clearance status verification of suppliers throughout the Procure-to-Pay process as well as the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC) for vetting of business registration and business ownership.
• No proof of documentation is necessary. The CSD will electronically validate and authenticate all information.
• Your entity will be issued with a unique CSD number (MAAA………), which must be used as a reference for future quotations, tenders and orders.
• Eliminate duplication of compliance requirements and reduce duplication of effort and cost for both business and government.
• This uniform Supply Chain Management system used right through all government institutions is essential to optimise the efficiency of service delivery. 

NB! As from 1st July 2016 all suppliers who intends doing business with municipalities, must comply and be registered on this CSD. Please empower yourself and your company!

New suppliers will have the option to make use of the self-registration portal of the CSD and suppliers who are currently registered on the Western Cape Suppliers Database (WCSD) will be automatically transferred to the Central Supplier Database by 31 March 2016.

However, current legislation still demands that municipalities verify information such as the municipal accounts, vehicle registration and acceptability certificates (caterers) of suppliers. This is not included in the system because it does not apply to the National and Provincial regulations. Therefore, unless these requirements are retracted, suppliers will still be vetted by municipalities in addition to the Central Supplier Database.
