RFQ FAQ
- What is a request for quotation (RFQ) in South Africa?
- A request for quotation (RFQ) is how an organ of state buys lower-value goods or services without running a full competitive tender. Under National Treasury rules, procurement roughly between R30,000 and R1 million is typically handled by requesting written quotes from suppliers on the Central Supplier Database, rather than a formal advertised bid. RFQs are faster, have lighter compliance requirements, and are a common entry point for new and small suppliers.
- How is an RFQ different from a tender?
- A formal tender is a publicly advertised competitive bid, usually for higher-value contracts, with strict returnable documents and an 80/20 or 90/10 PPPFA scoring process. An RFQ is a lighter-touch request for written quotes on lower-value work. It's simpler to respond to and quicker to award, with less paperwork. Both still require you to be registered on the Central Supplier Database (CSD).
- Are these the exact RFQs on the government portal?
- VUZA surfaces lower-value opportunities (under R1 million on our estimated value) from the eTenders portal and other South African procurement sources, the band where RFQs and quick quotes sit. Values shown are estimates for rough sizing, not exact figures, so always open the tender and confirm the requirements and submission method on the official portal.
- Do I need to pay to find RFQs on VUZA?
- No. Browsing RFQs and tenders on VUZA is free with no account or signup. You only register on the CSD and the official eTenders portal when you are ready to submit a quote.
VUZA is a free, independent search tool. Confirm every RFQ's requirements, closing time, and submission method on the official portal before quoting.
