Our services commence with the identification of a procurement need by a private company or state entity . Once appointed to assist with this need, the South African Tender Adjudication Board (SATAB) undertakes a detailed investigation to establish the precise procurement needs of the entity. A report is presented to the client to indicate the best procurement route to follow taking into consideration the provisions of the constitution, applicable procurement legislation and company policy
