## The national channels

- eTenders (https://www.etenders.gov.za/home/opportunities): South Africa's national eTender publication portal, run by the National Treasury.

## The rest

- 7 regional, state and municipal buyers with their own portals
- 4 public agencies and institutions publishing directly
- 4 state-owned enterprises publishing their own notices
- 2 health buyers, hospitals and medical purchasing agencies
- 2 defence buyers
- 1 other public buyers publishing their own notices

The buyers with the biggest budgets, provinces, metros, utilities, are exactly the ones that publish on their own addresses. A watch limited to the national portal reads the headline and misses the body.

**How does TRINTA monitor tenders in South Africa?**

TRINTA reads South Africa's official sources every day, 21 mapped, 18 read by a dedicated connector. The radar is built per client: it starts from the company's real catalogue, builds a multilingual keyword profile, scores every notice 0 to 100 for fit with the reasoning shown, and attaches the procedure documents.
