Q:The use of the eTender Publication Portal only is in direct conflict with departmental policies. Departmental policies should be aligned to Instruction 1 of 2015, which was issued on
1 April 2015 and was effective from 1 May 2015.
Q:How do we deal with/address the need for deviations when using the eTender Publication Portal?
No deviations will be considered. To ensure transparency, all tender opportunities must be recorded on the eTender Publication Portal.
Q:When publishing the results of tenders on the eTender Publication Portal, why don’t we list successful bidders only?
To ensure transparency, all evaluation results must be published. Integration to the CSD will soon make this process much easier and reduce duplication.
Q:There are too many forms for us to fill in to publish tenders on the eTender Publication Portal. Can we use the CSD to capture all the forms?
OoS are encouraged to apply for access to publish their own tenders on the eTender Publication portal. All OCPO System access requests can be filled in on the same form used for the CSD. Select the “eTender Functional Administrator (Publishing User)” role. Once completed and signed, please send your request to eTenders@treasury.gov.za.
Q:When a user creates a tender on the portal, other users cannot access this. Can you grant special access to more than one user so that in the event of the user not being available, a colleague can access the portal?
Unfortunately, this function is not available at the moment. With the new release scheduled for 1 July 2016, we will enable Role Based Authentication and organisational access to bids.
