What is the Central Supplier Database (CSD)?

The Central Supplier Database (CSD) is the South African government’s official supplier database, managed by National Treasury. It serves as a single source of verified supplier information for government departments, municipalities, public entities, and state-owned organisations.

During registration, supplier information is verified against systems such as CIPC, SARS, and the Department of Home Affairs where applicable.

If you want to supply goods or services to government, registering on the CSD is an important part of becoming eligible for procurement opportunities.
