Submissions must be hand-delivered in hard copy by 12:00 on Friday, 13 March 2026, to the Municipal offices in Qumbu.
This is a strategic opportunity for established cleaning product suppliers to support essential public services in a rural municipality.

The successful supplier will deliver a range of standard cleaning consumables, including:
- General-purpose cleaners, disinfectants, degreasers, and glass cleaners

- Hand sanitisers, gloves, and surface wipes
- Waste bags and cleaning tools (brooms, buckets, sponges, etc.)
All items must be new, unused, SABS-compliant, and suitable for use in public sector environments.
