Q:Does the CSD have space for “trading as?”
Yes. However, please note that the CIPC verification is done against the company’s registered name. Therefore, it will be better to use the registered name.
Q:How should departments deal with companies that have expired contracts and are struggling to register on the CSD?
Departments must assist the suppliers and contact the Treasury CSD support team for further assistance.
Q: Are associations captured or not?
Suppliers who want to form associations must first register on the CSD as individual companies. The system allows for the suppliers to then form associations by linking them under the associations function.
Q: Are accreditations captured?
The system caters for accreditations to be captured, but at this stage the CSD does not verify any accreditations. It is optional.
Q: Does the CSD cater for the defaulter list?
The CSD has integrated with both the tender defaulters list and the database of restricted suppliers. Suppliers can’t register if they are on one of the defaulter lists. If they have previously registered and were added to the defaulter lists, the supplier’s status will change to “restricted supplier.”
Q:Does the Restriction List on CSD also include those companies delisted on CIPC? The CSD will just reflect the updated status received from CIPC.
Q: What do you do if the supplier has been deregistered?
Organs of State are prohibited from dealing with suppliers who are deregistered.
Q:System option – you request a quotation from a supplier, but the supplier refuses to provide a quote. Can you indicate on the CSD that the supplier is not complying?
No. There may be many reasons why a supplier is not able to quote at a given time. There isn’t a requirement on a CSD-registered supplier to quote when asked to.
Tax
Q:When suppliers register on the CSD and have tax issues, does the system stop them from registering?
No. Suppliers can register on the CSD, but they will not be compliant. Please note that tax compliance is not necessary for supplier procurement under R30 000.
Q:International suppliers do not necessarily need tax clearance certificates. How will the CSD address this?
International companies must still register on the CSD – without the tax clearance certificate.
Q: Treasury must consider enhancing CSD to flag suppliers who are not VAT registered.
If the supplier report shows that the supplier has income tax number, then s/he is VAT compliant. Use SCM principles to manage this issue.
