This tender, designated BID No 00338/25, seeks to appoint a qualified service provider for a period of thirty-six months to support the theatre’s diverse culinary operations.
Scope of Work: Freshly Prepared Baked Goods
The appointed service provider will be responsible for the supply of a wide range of freshly prepared bakery and confectionery products on an “as and when required” basis. Items include breads (sliced, rolls, baguettes), cakes, pastries, confectionaries (croissants, muffins, doughnuts, scones), and tartlets. Products are required for meetings, events, workshops, performances, and festivals across Joburg Theatre’s venues.
Mandatory Administrative Requirements
To be considered for evaluation, bidders must submit a complete set of mandatory documents. Failure to submit any of these will result in disqualification. Key requirements include:
- CSD Registration: A Central Supplier Database registration summary report (not older than 30 days).
- Tax Compliance: Valid SARS Tax PIN.
- Company Registration: Certified CIPC documents and director ID copies.
- Premises Proof: Municipal rates invoice (not in arrears for over 90 days) or certified lease agreement with utility bill; an SAPS‑certified affidavit if operating from a residential address.
- Food Safety: Valid Certificate of Acceptability (COA) for food premises and a valid Pest Control Certificate.
- COIDA Compliance: Letter of good standing from the Compensation Fund or a commissioned affidavit if no employees.
Functionality Evaluation: Minimum 80% Threshold
Bids that pass the mandatory stage will be evaluated on functionality criteria. Bidders must achieve a minimum of 40 out of 50 points for this stage to qualify for a site visit. Scoring is as follows:
- Contactable Client References (10 points): Five reference letters with corresponding purchase orders from the last five years.
- Quality Assurance (50 points): Samples of specified items (breads, rolls, croissants, muffins, etc.) will be requested post‑submission and assessed on freshness, taste, size, and specification.
Site Visit and Final Evaluation

The inspection will assess hygiene standards, transportation practices, order-to-dispatch procedures, and pest control measures. Bidders who successfully complete this stage will proceed to the final evaluation.
