Q: Which vetting processes are not on the CSD?
B-BBEE and professional accreditations are currently not on the CSD, but B-BEE will be added at a later stage.
Q:Can I, as a user, make changes to/edit information on the system after I’ve completed the on- boarding? Can suppliers change or edit their details?
Yes, both users and suppliers can edit the details they provided, whether it is an ID number, email address or any other information.
Q: Is there a need for suppliers to submit supporting documents?
The only supporting documents that currently need to be submitted are for B-BBEE and accreditations. These documents must be submitted to departments for manual verification.
Q: Can we check the suppliers before bid adjudication?
Supplier records are updated daily and can be viewed at any given time. Internal processes should be used to decide at what stage a supplier record should be verified. The only mandatory verification is on date of award.
