Data coverage note

Coverage excludes municipalities and most state-owned entities — there is no obligation on municipal governments and state owned entities to share procurement data with National Treasury. This data does not constitute a complete record of all procurement processes in South Africa (some SOEs like Transnet do voluntarily appear). National Treasury labels this publication a public beta and disclaims accuracy and completeness. Amount density is time-dependent: pre-2023 awards rarely carry monetary values (3–11 % coverage); 2023-onward coverage is 91–100 %. Source: National Treasury eTenders OCDS API (data.etenders.gov.za).
