eThekwini Municipality (greater Durban) is KwaZulu-Natal's economic engine, wrapped around Africa's busiest container port. Its procurement programme is among the largest of any metro: water and sanitation infrastructure (a major ongoing investment area), electricity network maintenance, road and bridge construction, coastal and stormwater engineering, housing, waste collection and cleansing services, parks and verge maintenance, security guarding, fleet, ICT and professional services, plus reconstruction work driven by flood-damage repair programmes.

The metro follows MFMA supply chain regulations: advertised competitive bids, CSD-based quotations under the threshold, preference point evaluation and advertised CIDB gradings for works. eThekwini also runs supplier development and radical economic transformation programmes that structure portions of spend toward local SMMEs and cooperatives. Compliance is standard: CSD registration, SARS tax pin, B-BBEE documents and municipal rates clearance, with compulsory site meetings common on infrastructure contracts.
