What projects need to be registered?
Who is responsible for registering projects?
i-Tender
The Register of Projects is established by the Construction Industry Development Board (cidb) in terms of the CIDB Act 38 of 2000. The Register of Projects gathers information on the nature, value and distribution of projects and provides 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.
Any construction works contract (i.e. a contract for the provision of a combination of goods and services arranged for the development, extension, installation, repair, maintenance, renewal, removal, renovation, alteration, dismantling or demolition of a fixed asset including building and engineering infrastructure) which exceeds:
- Public Sector: R 200 000 including VAT
- Private Sector: R 3 000 000 including VAT

Employers (a person, body of persons or organ of state who enters into a prime contract with a contractor for the provision of construction works) are responsible for registering construction works contracts above the prescribed value at least monthly (public employers) and quarterly (private sector employers).
Employers must first register with the CIDB by completing form CRS P1 Application for an Employer Number and Authorisation of Internet Users (73kb)  and forwarding it to the CIDB. Thereafter, employers may use the i-Tender - Register of Projects to register contracts.

i-Tender facilitates quick and easy electronic registration of projects by public and private sector clients alike
i-Tender failitates the matching of contractors with opportunities through online advertisement of tenders. By logging a tender notice on i-Tender, a client automatically triggers notification of the tender to contractors in the relevant grades by SMS, email and on the cidb website
The Construction Industry Development Regulations of June 2004 as amended mandate public sector clients to log all construction tenders above R 200 000 on i-Tender . They also require public sector clients to award tenders on-line, using i-Tender. The online award of tenders results in automatic registration of a project and simultaneously updates the contractor’s track record
Private sector clients are required to log the award of all contracts above R3 million, using i -Tender. This also means that a contractor’s track record becomes verifiable
