A request for quotation (RFQ) is the fast lane of government procurement. For purchases between R30,000 and R1 million, organs of state may source written quotations instead of running a full tender: shorter documents, quicker evaluation and closing windows that can be as tight as 48 hours to two weeks. RFQs cover the everyday needs of the state: stationery and consumables, PPE, small equipment, minor repairs, catering for events, short-term hires and once-off services, exactly the work most small businesses are built to deliver.

Speed is the whole game with RFQ tenders. Because windows are short and many buyers invite quotes from suppliers registered on the CSD with matching commodity codes, the businesses that win RFQs consistently are the ones that see them the day they publish and can produce a compliant quote (CSD report, tax pin, B-BBEE affidavit and signed SBD forms) within hours, not days. Pricing discipline matters too: RFQ evaluation is heavily price-driven within the 80/20 preference system.
