Step 2: Enter Your Business Registration Details
Start on page 1 with your company registration details. Enter your registered business name exactly as it appears on your CIPC registration certificate. Add your company registration number, your business physical address in the Buffalo City metro area, and your primary contact number. Double-check every field against your official company documents before moving to the next page.
Step 3: Select Your Supplier Categories and Commodity Codes
On the supplier category pages, select the commodity codes that match the goods or services your business provides. Buffalo City metro municipality uses these codes to match your registration with relevant tenders and procurement opportunities. If you supply services across more than one category, list all applicable commodity codes. The BCMM supplier portal provides a full commodity code reference list if you need to look up the correct codes for your business type.
Step 4: Attach Your Supporting Documents
Before you submit your completed registration form, gather all required supporting documents. Required attachments for the BCMM database registration typically include a valid tax clearance certificate from SARS, your B-BBEE compliance certificate, a certified copy of your company registration documents, and a bank confirmation letter showing your business account details. Review the document checklist on the final pages of the form to confirm you have everything ready.
Step 5: Submit Your Registration to Buffalo City Municipality
Once all 11 pages are complete and your documents are attached, submit your registration to the BCMM supplier registration office. You can submit by post to the Buffalo City municipality offices in East London, in person at the BCMM procurement department, or through the online registration feature on the BCM vendor portal if the digital submission option is available. Always keep a certified copy of your completed registration form and all submitted documents for your records.
