 construction registers > overview
The Construction Registers Service is established in terms of the Construction Industry
Development Board (CIDB) Act 38 of 2000. The Service offers a basis for sustainable
construction development and growth, through improved delivery, performance and
sustainable empowerment.
The Registers Service currently consists of two, interlinked, national registers:
The Register of Contractors and the Register of Projects. These registers form the
basis of the first phase of the Construction Registers Service that shapes and reflects
progress in the capability and transformation of the South African construction
industry.
Each register promotes an enabling development framework for construction industry
capacity, infrastructure delivery, and growth. Used together, they offer employers
and contractors, alike, great benefits in identifying opportunities, challenges
and growth sectors within the construction industry.
The Register of Contractors has been established to:
- support risk management in the tendering process
- reduce the administrative burden associated with the award of contracts
- reduce tendering costs to both clients and contractors
- enable effective access by the emerging sector to available work, as well as development opportunities
- assess the performance of contractors in the execution of contracts and thus provide a record of performance for contractors
- promote minimum standards and best practice of contractors
- store and provide data on the size and distribution of contractors operating within the industry, and on the performance and development of contractors and target groups
The Register of Projects has been established to:
- gather information on the nature, value and distribution of projects
- provide the basis for a best practice project assessment scheme to promote the performance of public and private sector clients in the development of the construction industry
The i-Tender is an additional tool provided by the cidb to:
- enable employers to advertise tenders at no cost
- reduce the administration required for the evaluation and award of tenders
- allow contractors, employers and the public, access to accurate information regarding tender opportunities and awards, as well as contractors’ track records and
- allow relevant parties to make informed decisions.
