# Consulting engineering and community-development services for a 6 km gravel-road upgrade near Mdatya

SANRAL has published open tender NRA 2026/0767 for consulting engineering services linked to community development and small-contractor training and development during an upgrade of 6 km of gravel road near National Road N2, Section 21, at Mdatya in the Eastern Cape. The eTenders public record matches the tender ID 173639, buyer and scope. It lists a compulsory briefing session for 20 October 2026 at 11:00 and a closing time of 13 November 2026 at 12:00; timezone labels are absent. The available notice information gives the closing timestamp as 10:00 UTC on 13 November, so the exact time conversion is not verified and the public deadline is date-only. The accessible API provides no value, award or detailed engineering scope. The notice description requires CSD registration and sets a targeted-enterprise condition for joint ventures.
