MoBy No Comments3 Mins Read

The Special Investigation Unit (SIU) has issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ 179 2026/27) for the supply and delivery of catering services. This targeted procurement initiative aims to secure high-quality, reliable hospitality services for an upcoming ICT Awareness training session at the SIU’s Polokwane Provincial Office, ensuring seamless support for delegates and aligning with the unit’s commitment to professional and efficient service delivery.

Scope of Catering Services

The appointed service provider will be responsible for executing a comprehensive catering schedule for the ICT awareness training over two days, specifically on the 16th and 17th of November 2026. Key operational deliverables include:

  • Provision of a specified lunch menu featuring pap, rice, lamb stew, roasted chicken, beans mash, cabbage, green salad, and chakalaka.
  • Supply of assorted beverages, including cooldrinks and 100% fruit juices, to accommodate all attendees.
  • Timely delivery, setup, and service at the Ground Floor, Moolman 500 Building, 31 Market Street, Polokwane, 0070.
  • Strict adherence to food safety, hygiene, and quality standards throughout the event duration.

Mandatory Compliance Requirements

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

  • A valid Central Supplier Database (CSD) registration report, with the Tax Compliance Status clearly visible on the CSD Summary report.
  • A valid B-BBEE status level verification certificate to qualify for preference points.
  • A formal quotation on the bidder’s official company letterhead, clearly indicating the company registration number and VAT registration number (if applicable).
  • The quotation page must be duly signed; failure to do so will render the bid invalid.

Evaluation Criteria

Quotations exceeding R2,000 will be evaluated based on the 80/20 preference point system, as stipulated in the Preferential Procurement Regulations of 2022 and the SIU’s Supply Chain Management Policies. Eighty points are allocated for price competitiveness, while the remaining twenty points are awarded for specific transformation goals, primarily based on the bidder’s B-BBEE status level contribution.

Special Conditions and Validity

Bidders must explicitly indicate the availability of stock and the estimated time of arrival (ETA) for the required items. The SIU reserves the right to appoint a service provider based on proven stock availability and reliable delivery timelines. Furthermore, all quoted prices must be inclusive of VAT, firm for the specified period, and the quotation must remain valid for a minimum of 30 days from the closing date.
