Our Purchase Order Funding Solutions for South African Government Orders

Our Purchase Order Funding Solutions help eligible South African businesses explore funding for the supplier inputs needed to fulfil an awarded government or municipal purchase order. They address the gap before delivery, when suppliers need payment and the buyer has not yet paid. Fund The People facilitates access to funding through funding providers.

Start with a CSD-registered South African company, a valid government or municipal purchase order worth at least R250,000, and suitable suppliers. Send consistent company, order and supplier records so our team can understand the opportunity. Each application is assessed on its own merits.

Fund The People offers a facilitation service. Our team helps you present your order and supplier requirements so you can explore funding through funding providers. The provider assesses the application and sets any approval and agreement terms. You can start with us by sharing the details of your confirmed government order.

Yes. Our current purchase order funding pathway starts with a valid government or municipal purchase order. Include the buyer, your registered company, order value, scope and delivery conditions. If you are still preparing a bid or RFQ response, use our tender and RFQ guidance to plan ahead for an awarded order.

Our current pathway focuses on South African government and municipal purchase orders. If your buyer is a private business, tell our team at the start so we can clarify whether an appropriate route is available. This page’s qualifying criteria apply to public-sector orders.

Your enquiry can set out stock, materials, supplier charges and delivery inputs directly connected to the awarded order. Include an itemised supplier quote, stock availability and lead times. This helps show how the requested inputs support the buyer’s specification and how your business plans to complete delivery.

The standard minimum opportunity value is R250,000. Use the amount on your valid government or municipal purchase order and include any official amendment. Our team also needs to understand supplier costs and delivery requirements, because the order value alone does not determine the amount or terms of any funding.

Start with director identification, the latest six months of company bank statements, your valid government purchase order and CIPC records. Prepare the RFQ or specification, supplier quote, Tax Compliance Status PIN issued certificate, bank confirmation letter and proof of address for the complete pack. Our document guide below explains how to organise these records.

Our Purchase Order Funding Solutions support supplier inputs before delivery. Our Invoice Discounting Solutions address the payment gap after delivery, when a qualifying government invoice remains outstanding. The key question is whether you still need to fulfil the order or have completed the work and are waiting for the buyer to pay.

Use the enquiry form on this page or our application page. Tell us about your registered company, government buyer, order value, suppliers and delivery date. Attach the starting documents you have and identify anything still being prepared. Our team will help you understand the next step for your opportunity.
