All companies looking to apply for tenders must be registered with the Central Supplier Database (CSD).
Companies receive an MAAA registration number once they complete their registration at the CSD.
A CSD MAAA registration number is usually required for tenders and contracts as it’s used by contractors and departments to confirm a company’s details and compliance information.
CSD (MAAA) registration numbers are required for the following:
- Tenders
- Funding applications
- CIDB registrations
