The South African National Roads Agency Limited (Sanral) says it will issue at least 70 tenders “in the next couple of weeks”.

In terms of the State-owned company’s interim preferential procurement policy (PPP), at least 30% of these contracts will be allocated to smaller black-owned construction companies. 

The announcement comes after Sanral closed 77 tenders worth R6.43-billion in December. 

Sanral CEO Reginald Demana says the agency now aims to put out at least another 70 tenders to the market in the coming weeks.

This will result in about R28-billion of tenders advertised under the interim PPP for the current 2023/24 financial year.

“By March, we want to have about R28-billion worth of tenders in the market,” confirms Demana.

He says the work Sanral has put out to market is spread across the country.

The Western Region (Western Cape and Northern Cape) will get contracts worth R600-million.

The Southern Region (Eastern Cape) will see contracts to the value of R2.8-billion.

The Eastern Region (Free State and KwaZulu-Natal) will have contracts worth R2.1-billion.

The Northern Region (Gauteng, Limpopo, Mpumalanga and North West) will feature contracts worth more than R500-million.

The Eastern and Southern regions are in the midst of significant road infrastructure projects, such as the N2/N3 expansion in KwaZulu-Natal, and N2 Wild Coast project, in the Eastern Cape.
