Common questions

How many Free State tenders require CIDB registration?

7 open right now, out of 53 on record for Free State. The list below shows open tenders first, and the numbers change daily as notices are published and close.

Can I bid on a Free State tender without CIDB registration?

Not on these ones — where a tender lists CIDB registration as a requirement, a bid without it is normally disqualified at the administrative stage before anyone reads your pricing. Tenders that do not ask for it are a separate list; browse the other requirement pages to find them.

Do I need CIDB registration to bid on construction tenders?

For public-sector construction work, yes. The Construction Industry Development Board register is a legal requirement for contractors bidding on state construction projects, and the tender will state the minimum grading.

What do the CIDB grades mean?

A grading is a number from 1 to 9 plus a class of works, such as 3GB or 6CE. The number caps the contract value you may tender for, rising from a few hundred thousand rand at grade 1 to unlimited at grade 9. The letters describe the type of work, for example GB for general building and CE for civil engineering.

Can I bid above my CIDB grade?

No. Bidding above your grading is one of the most common reasons a construction bid is disqualified before evaluation. You must either hold the required grade or upgrade first.
