Tenders
Buffalo City TVET College is committed to a fair, transparent and competitive procurement process in line with Supply Chain Management (SCM) policy.
How We Procure
How We Advertise Tenders and RFQs
Buffalo City TVET College follows two distinct procurement routes: open tenders and Requests for Quotations (RFQs). All tenders are advertised in national and local newspapers to ensure equal opportunity and transparency for all prospective bidders. RFQs, by contrast, are not advertised publicly – they are sent directly to suppliers registered on the College’s Supplier Database.
