National Treasury Tender: Appointment of a Panel of External Firms to Render Performance Audit Services for a Period of Three (3) Years
The National Treasury of South Africa is the engine room of the country’s economic and financial policy. As a central government department, it plays a vital role in ensuring transparency, efficiency, and accountability in public finance management. The Treasury is responsible for managing South Africa’s national government finances, which includes preparing the national budget and developing tax policy. In addition, it oversees financial sector policy and regulations, supports economic growth and development initiatives, and fosters intergovernmental fiscal relations.
With its headquarters located at 40 Church Street, Pretoria Central, the National Treasury serves as the financial steward of the Republic. Through its various divisions and programs, the department upholds the country’s constitutional values by ensuring that public funds are used appropriately and effectively. This includes strengthening financial governance across all spheres of government and public institutions.
The National Treasury is committed to a transparent, fair, and competitive procurement process. It frequently invites bids from qualified suppliers and service providers in the spirit of promoting participation by private firms, including historically disadvantaged individuals and small businesses. This latest opportunity — the Appointment of a Panel of External Firms to Render Performance Audit Services — continues this tradition and aims to elevate the quality of audits across government sectors.
