CSD Registration for Tender Applications
in South Africa

What is the Central Supplier Database?

The Central Supplier Database (CSD) is a single database that will serve as the source of all supplier information for organs of state. The supplier information will be verified with institutions such as the South African Revenue Service, Companies and Intellectual Property Commission, Department of Home Affairs etc.

The CSD’s purpose is to avoid the multiple registrations by prospective suppliers with each individual Organ of State they intend doing business with.
