Develop Water Sector Businesses | 110% Green

The Western Cape Government and its partners are working to grow businesses and suppliers of water related technologies and services in the province. This will not only ensure businesses and households can improve their water security but also support economic growth and job creation in the Western Cape. 

In partnership with the Western Cape Government, Green Cape's Water Sector Market Intelligence Report highlights business opportunities for water in the green economy in the Western Cape. It targets investors and entrepreneurs interested in water business, and seeks to promote the Western Cape as the leading green economy business hub. 

The 2021 Water Market Intelligence Report is available below:

Suppliers of Water Saving Related Technologies and Services

In an effort to link businesses and residents to service providers who can assist with their water saving efforts, a database of suppliers has been developed. 

The list can be downloaded by clicking the below link. Please note that this list is updated frequently. 

Suppliers form

Please note:

  • Within the context of the current water crisis in the Western Cape, this database is intended to assist private persons and businesses wishing to improve their water management systems and/or reduce the amount of water they consume to easily identify potential suppliers of water-related products and/or services. The suppliers included in the database have not been vetted or accredited by the Western Cape Government, the City of Cape Town, and/or GreenCape. This database is published for information purposes only and does not in any way represent or constitute an endorsement of any particular supplier, product, and/or service by the Western Cape Government, the City of Cape Town, and/or GreenCape. 
  • The Western Cape Government, the City of Cape Town and GreenCape cannot and do not warrant the accuracy of any information included in this database. Any private person or business interested in contracting with suppliers included in the database is therefore advised to:
    • Confirm the accuracy of any information included in this database with the supplier's consent;
    • Check whether the supplier's consent have been duly registered with the appropriate professional body (where one exists);
    • Obtain three quotes from a variety of suppliers (where appropriate and necessary); and/or
    • Request potential service providers to provide references.
  • The Western Cape Government, the City of Cape Town, and/or GreenCape shall not under any circumstances be liable for any inconvenience, losses, and/or damages suffered by any private person who and/or any private business that relies on the information included in this database and/or contracts with any one or more suppliers included in such database.
  • Any suppliers of water-related products and/or services who wish to have their products and/or services included in the database are invited to submit their products /services information via the form above.

City of Cape Town's New Technology Evaluation Process

Some of the businesses listed in the database above have been through the City's New Technology Evaluation Process. This process is for suppliers wanting their water-related technologies to be considered for public sector use or would like their product to pass through the initial public procurement filtering process. The Western Cape Government has partnered with the City of Cape Town’s New Technology Committee to support water-related technology and service providers to promote the uptake of innovative solutions to address current and future water issues. This committee meets regularly and includes representatives from the City and WCG to review new technologies or related information provided to government for procurement consideration. Companies have a chance to present their goods and services at this meeting in a fair and transparent manner. The outcomes of these meetings are then shared with relevant WCG and CCT branches and departments to ensure efficiency and potential product or service procurement.

If you would like to be part of the New Technology Evaluation Process, send an email to Mario.Carelse@capetown.gov.za to be included on the agenda; receive the date of the next committee meeting (the committee meets every 4 – 6 weeks); to be informed of what information needs to be sent prior to the next meeting; and to be emailed the required forms. 

Every product or service procured by a public entity would still need to be done in a competitive, transparent tender process (even under emergency conditions, where the procurement is simply accelerated). Please note that to be able to tender on any projects put out to tender by the Western Cape Government, service providers will need to be registered on the Central Supplier Database (CSD). More information about this database is available at https://www.westerncape.gov.za/gc-news/227/42114 and you can self-register online at the CSD website www.csd.gov.za
