The National Lotteries Commission (NLC) has issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ-2026-010-024) for the provision of catering services to support an upcoming Education and Awareness Campaign. This strategic, once-off procurement initiative aims to facilitate a professional and well-catered environment for stakeholders and community members at the Multipurpose Community Hall in BelaBela, Limpopo, reinforcing the NLC’s commitment to transparent and effective public engagement.
Scope of Catering Services
The appointed service provider will be responsible for delivering high-quality catering for the specified event. Key operational deliverables include:
- Provision of catering services for the Education and Awareness Campaign scheduled for 10 November 2026.
- Strict adherence to the delivery timeline to ensure food is served promptly as directed by the NLC.
- Supply of all necessary catering infrastructure, as the NLC will not provide cutlery, plates, tablecloths, cups, or serviettes.
- Provision of suitable containers to store food safely in the event that the meeting extends beyond the scheduled timeframe.
Mandatory Compliance Requirements
To be considered responsive, bidders must submit a complete and fully compliant documentation package. Essential submissions include:

- A current SARS Tax Compliance Status PIN.
- A fully completed and signed Standard Bidding Document (SBD) 4: Declaration of Interest.
- A complete and signed pricing schedule or formal quotation.

Evaluation Criteria
Quotations will be evaluated in strict accordance with the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act (Act 5 of 2000) and the Preferential Procurement Regulations of 2022. The adjudication process utilizes the 80/20 preference point system:
- Price: 80 points allocated to the most competitive and compliant pricing.
