How to Register on the CSD

What the CSD is

State organs use the Central Supplier Database to verify the details of businesses that want to supply goods or services. Registering creates a supplier profile that procurement officials can check.

Information a profile typically holds

• Company registration details
• Tax compliance information
• Banking details, supported by confirmation from the bank
• Contact details and the categories of goods or services supplied
• Ownership and director information

Why accuracy matters

A profile that does not match the company's official documents creates delays and, in some cases, disqualifies a supplier from a process. When details change — a new bank account, an address, a director — the profile must be updated.

What registration does not do

Registering on the CSD does not guarantee any tender, quote request or contract. Awards are made by the procuring institution after its own evaluation.

How we assist

We assist with new registration, capturing supplier information, updating details and maintaining an accurate profile.
