Central Supplier Database (CSD) Registration

What is CSD Registration?

CSD is National Treasury’s database of suppliers to government. Businesses register once to become eligible for public sector procurement.

Think of it like this…

It’s your master supplier profile for doing business with the state.

Why does it matter?

Required for most government tenders and quotations
Verifies tax compliance (TCS), CIPC details, and bank accounts
Centralises B‑BBEE and other compliance info

Best practice

Keep bank confirmation, TCS, and CIPC records current — CSD pulls data from those sources.
