Why R200,000?
Below the tender stage, government buys through written price quotations. R200,000 sits inside the quotation range for every kind of government buyer, so that's where SmallRFQs focuses.
Petty cash purchases. No formal quotation process.
Written price quotations. This is every RFQ SmallRFQs sends you.
National and provincial departments and entities may still use quotations up to R1m.
Must be advertised for at least 7 days on the municipality's website and notice board.
