Gauteng Department of Health

Suppliers and contractors are advised to exercise caution after a **generic tender invitation** began circulating, claiming to be issued by the **Gauteng Department of Health**. The message invites “registered and eligible contractors” to submit price quotations for an unspecified project, with delivery listed at **45 Commissioner Street, Johannesburg**.

Although the message appears formal, there are several **clear warning signs that suggest it may be fraudulent or misleading**.

Firstly, the email is **extremely vague** and does not specify the exact goods or services required. Legitimate tender invitations typically include detailed specifications, bid numbers, scope of work, and clear submission guidelines. A lack of such critical information is a common tactic used in procurement scams.
