    MoBy No Comments3 Mins Read

    Sentech SOC Limited has issued an open tender (SENT/038/2026-27) to appoint service providers into a three-year Framework Agreement for the deployment of security guards on an “as and when” required basis. This strategic procurement initiative is designed to safeguard Sentech’s regional transmitter sites in the Northern Cape province, mitigating risks of vandalism, theft, and ensuring the safety of maintenance staff operating in these critical infrastructure locations.

    Scope of Security Services

    The appointed service provider(s) will be required to deliver comprehensive, round-the-clock security solutions across designated Northern Cape sites. Key operational deliverables include:

    • Deployment of a minimum of one guard per site during the day and two guards per site at night, seven days a week, including public holidays.
    • Provision of armed guarding (minimum 9mm calibre firearm with two 15-round magazines), un-armed guarding, staff escorting, and vehicle patrolling.
    • Supply of essential operational resources, including working communication tools (radios/cellular phones), security registers (Occurrence Books, pocket books), and transport for guards.
    • Rapid incident response within a maximum of two hours, followed by the submission of comprehensive security incident reports within 48 hours.

    Compulsory Briefing Session

    Attendance at the virtual briefing session is strictly mandatory. Bidders who fail to attend and sign the attendance register will be automatically disqualified. The session will be held via Microsoft Teams on Thursday, 29 October 2026, at 10:00. To receive the meeting link, bidders must send a registration request via email to tendera@sentech.co.za no later than the end of business on Wednesday, 28 October 2026.

    Mandatory Compliance Requirements

    Bidders must ensure the following documentation accompanies their submission, as failure to comply will result in disqualification:

    • Valid PSIRA registration for the company, directors, and a letter of good standing
    • Valid NBCPSS affiliation and letter of good standing
    • Valid Private Security Sector Provident Fund (PSSPF) letter of good standing
    • Proof of Public Liability insurance of at least R10,000,000
    • Valid Letter of Good Standing from COIDA, FEM, or RMA
    • Valid UIF good standing (EMP201)
    • Proof of presence in the Northern Cape area (PSIRA satellite office certificate)
    • Completed SBD forms, including SBD 1, SBD 4, SBD 6.1, and SBD 6.2
    • B-BBEE certificate or sworn affidavit

    Two-Stage Evaluation Process

    Proposals will undergo a rigorous, two-stage adjudication process. Stage One involves a strict assessment of mandatory administrative requirements and functional criteria (company experience, resource availability, and methodology). Bidders who successfully pass Stage One will advance to Stage Two, which involves price negotiations with Sentech to establish fixed costs for man-hour deployments and kilometer rates for escorts.
