Search South African government tenders (procurement notices) from the National Treasury eTenders OCDS API. PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for questions about SA government tenders / bids / RFQs — “government cleaning tenders in KwaZulu-Natal”, “recent SASSA tenders”, “Treasury procurement opportunities”. Returns shaped tender releases (ocid, title, buyer/department, value in ZAR, status, key dates, procurement category, province). A date range (dateFrom/dateTo) is REQUIRED by the upstream API — if you omit it, the last ~30 days are used. Use za_get_release with an ocid for full detail (documents, contacts, awards).
