state employees

The Bid Evaluation Committee excludes bidders who are registered as restricted or blacklisted suppliers by the National Treasury and those who are state employees.

“From a pre-compliance perspective, we check whether the company declared CSD number. This is to confirm whether they are registered on the National Treasury's Centralised Supplier Database... They are suppliers who are blacklisted from doing business with the state... Second component is state employees. We do not do business with state employees.”
