    MoBy Updated:No Comments3 Mins Read

    The Special Investigation Unit (SIU) has issued an updated Request for Quotation (RFQ189 2026/27) for the appointment of a service provider to deliver catering services at its KuGompo City office. This strategic procurement initiative aims to secure high-quality, reliable catering for a scheduled official gathering, ensuring that SIU operations and engagements are supported by professional hospitality services in the Eastern Cape.

    Scope of Services

    The successful service provider will be responsible for executing a comprehensive lunch service for 150 members. Key operational deliverables include:

    • Provision of lunch at 12:00 on 19 November 2026 at the SIU KuGompo City Office, Sanlam Park, 59 Western Avenue, Vincent.
    • Delivery of a specified menu comprising rolls, potato salad, green salad with olives and feta, curry noodle salad, braai T-bone steak, fried or grilled fish, chicken kebabs, and lamb shoulder chops.
    • Supply of 150 assorted 300ml fizzy drinks and 100% juices, alongside 450 bottles of 500ml still water.
    • Provision of all necessary cutlery, crockery, and condiments, as the SIU will not supply these items.
    • Adherence to strict food safety, hygiene, and quality standards, ensuring all meats are tender, moist, and well-cooked.

    Special Conditions and Updates

    Prospective bidders must note a critical update to this procurement: an revised RFQ document has been issued. Bidders are strictly required to use this updated document, which explicitly reflects the revised requirement for 450 bottles of still water. Furthermore, the SIU mandates that all bid responses be submitted exclusively via email. No physical, faxed, or alternative submissions will be considered or accepted under any circumstances.

    Mandatory Compliance Requirements

    To be considered responsive, bidders must submit a complete and compliant documentation package. Essential submissions include:

    • A formal quotation on the bidder’s official company letterhead, inclusive of VAT.
    • A valid Central Supplier Database (CSD) registration report.
    • A valid B-BBEE status level verification certificate to qualify for preference points.
    • Fully completed and signed Standard Bidding Documents, specifically SBD 4 (Declaration of Interest) and SBD 6.1 (Preference Points Claim Form).
    • Confirmation that the quotation remains valid for a period of 30 days from the closing date.

    Evaluation Criteria

    Quotations will be evaluated in accordance with the SIU’s Supply Chain Management policies and the Preferential Procurement Regulations. The adjudication process utilizes the 80/20 preference point system, allocating 80 points for price competitiveness and 20 points for specific transformation goals, primarily based on the bidder’s B-BBEE status level of contribution. Bids that fail to meet the minimum criteria or submit incorrect documentation will be disqualified.
