The procurement data on the eTender portal includes procurement plans, tender advertisements, awards, and contracts, which are automatically made available on the transparency portal once captured or published.

As state in their publication policy, the data covers entities across all spheres of government that share their procurement data with the National Treasury. This includes organs of state but excludes municipal governments and state-owned entities unless they voluntarily share their data. The data does not represent a complete record of all procurement processes in South Africa due to the voluntary nature of data sharing by some entities. Moreover, the data publication is fully compliant with the Promotion of Personal Information Act (POPIA), ensuring that personal information related to bidders or contractors is excluded unless consent for publication has been given.
