    MUNICIPALITY Laingsburg Central Karoo Beaufort Prince Albert District West Central Karoo District Municipalities / Western Cape Supplier Database (WCSD) Registration Invitation to register on the WCSD The Beaufort West; Laingsburg; Prince Albert Municipalities and Central Karoo District Municipality, in collaboration with the Western Cape Provincial Government, is moving towards an integrated, centralised Supplier Database that will be managed by Ariba. Therefore the Municipality invites all current as well as interested prospective suppliers of goods and services to in future register on the Western Cape Sentralised Database (WCSD). With the information of suppliers at their disposal, it will enable any of the departments to find an appropriate supplier to render services. As from 1 September 2015 the Beaufort West; Laingsburg; Prince Albert Municipalities and Central Karoo District Municipality will not be using their own Municipality’s Accredited Supplier Database any longer and will only make use of suppliers, contractors and service providers registered on the WCSD. It is important to note that if you are NOT registered on the WCSD or your registration is not active, none of these Municipality’s will be able to request a quotation from or issue an order to you. This single Database will soon be used by all municipalities in the Western Cape and all suppliers/contractors/service providers in future only need to register once and only ensure that one database file is kept up to date. Municipality will however still obtain quotations from its suppliers (provided that they are registered on the WCSD) as in the past and preference will be given as far as possible to local suppliers when procuring goods under R30 000.
