SANRAL has launched a training programme to assist SMMEs in enhancing their business acumen and tendering skills, so that they may successfully compete for opportunities on the national road network. SANRAL appointed ACS/Tjeka JV to carry out this training, and vast interest has been shown by SMMEs in all provinces.

In the past year, the pre-tender training has focused on training CIDB Grade 1–4 CE and GB companies. Starting from October 2023, ACS/Tjeka JV will advertise a call for submissions by interested CIDB Grade 5–7 CE, the aim being to reach as many qualifying entities as possible.
