What is CSD (Central Supplier Database)?

National Treasury's online database where businesses must register before they can supply goods or services to government.

Government departments, municipalities and other organs of state use the Central Supplier Database to find suppliers and check their details. Registration is free and done online.

The CSD checks your company details with CIPC and your tax compliance status with SARS, and records your banking details and B-BBEE information. Keep your profile up to date, as a lapsed tax status or wrong details can stop you being awarded work.
