1 open electrical equipment supply tender asks for it, out of 30 on record.

Common questions

Do electrical equipment supply tenders require ECSA registration?
30 electrical equipment supply tenders on record name it in their bid documents, and 1 of those are open right now. It is not universal — plenty of tenders in this category do not ask for it — but on this kind of work it is common enough to plan for.
Can I bid on a electrical equipment supply tender without ECSA registration?
Not on the ones listed here. Where a tender names ECSA registration as a requirement, a bid without it is normally disqualified at the administrative stage, before anyone opens your pricing. That is the expensive part: you do the work of pricing a bid and it is never read.
Who needs ECSA registration on a tender?
The person taking professional responsibility for the engineering work, not necessarily the bidding company. Tenders normally ask for the registration number and category of the professional who will sign off the design or supervision.
Does my company need to be registered, or just the engineer?
ECSA registers individuals, not companies. A firm satisfies the requirement by naming a registered professional on the team, which is why joint ventures and named subconsultants are common on these bids.
