How schools and government departments can buy IT and stationery from a CSD registered supplier
If you buy for a school, a municipality, a government department or a state-owned entity, you already know the rule: the supplier must be on the Central Supplier Database (CSD) and the paperwork has to be right before an order can be placed. Big O Trading 787 cc is a Pretoria based, CSD registered, B-BBEE Level 1 supplier of IT equipment, printers, ink and toner, stationery and corporate gifts, and this guide explains how to buy from us the easy way.
What you need from a supplier before you can order
Most procurement offices ask for the same set of documents. Ours are ready to send on request: our CSD supplier number and registration report, a valid B-BBEE certificate (Level 1), a SARS tax compliance status PIN, our company registration (CIPC) documents, banking confirmation and a formal quotation on a letterhead with a validity period. If your department needs a specific quotation format or a supplier onboarding form completed, send it to tonny@bigotrading787.co.za and we return it the same working day.
Step 1: build your list on the website
Every product on www.bigotrading787.co.za shows the current price including VAT, so you can put a requisition together without waiting for a quote. Use the menu to browse laptops and desktops, printers, HP and Canon ink and toner, stationery and office supplies, or search by part number if you already have one. Add everything to the cart and the total at the bottom is your budget figure.
Step 2: ask for a formal quotation
For orders that need three quotes, a purchase order or an official quote number, email the cart contents or your list to us, or WhatsApp 083 455 7367. We reply with a formal quotation, quotation number and validity date, plus the compliance documents above. We are happy to quote on brands we do not list online, including Lenovo, Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Epson, Brother and Canon, because we buy through South Africa's main distributors.
Step 3: place the order
Once the purchase order is issued, we confirm stock and delivery date in writing. Delivery is free on orders over R3 000 anywhere in South Africa, and we deliver to Pretoria and Johannesburg addresses ourselves. Bulk stationery for schools, book packs and back to school bundles can be packed per classroom or per learner on request.
Why schools and departments use Big O Trading
We are small enough to answer the phone and large enough to supply an entire school. Genuine stock only, with the manufacturer's warranty on every laptop, printer and cartridge. B-BBEE Level 1 status counts towards your preferential procurement points, and we are registered on the CSD so there is no onboarding delay.
