Bidders must be registered on the Central Supplier Database, hold a valid tax compliance status PIN, and submit the SBD forms, B-BBEE certificate or EME/QSE affidavit, and proof of CSD registration.

Note that the purchase order terms refer to a 12-month guarantee on goods, and the RFQ references a three-year warranty as a scoring criterion.
Suppliers of laboratory consumables, glassware, plasticware and scientific equipment, including authorised distributors of Vortex-Genie and SI-branded laboratory accessories. Businesses must be CSD-registered, tax compliant and able to deliver to Centurion within the stated lead time. Black-owned, black women-owned, EME and QSE suppliers are encouraged to apply, as they can claim specific-goal preference points. Suppliers able to provide a three-year service and parts plan for Vortex mixers are particularly well placed.
