MoBy No Comments3 Mins Read

Foskor (Pty) Ltd, specifically its Acid Division operating in Richards Bay, has issued a formal Request for Proposal (RFP FOSRBY-RFP-15-26/27) for the provision of comprehensive office cleaning services. This strategic thirty-six (36) month contract aims to ensure that all Foskor facilities are maintained in a clean, neat, hygienic, and healthy condition, supporting a safe and productive working environment for employees and visitors in KwaZulu-Natal.

Scope of Services

The successful service provider will be responsible for delivering high-quality, reliable cleaning solutions across designated Foskor premises. Key operational deliverables include:

  • Execution of daily, weekly, and periodic cleaning tasks as stipulated in the Scope of Work and Bill of Quantities (Annexure A).
  • Strict adherence to the Occupational Health and Safety Act (No. 85 of 1993), including the Facilities Regulations, and all applicable South African National Standards (SANS).
  • Provision of all necessary cleaning materials, equipment, and trained personnel to meet the facility’s hygiene standards.
  • Implementation of a robust job-creation strategy, as bidders are required to submit a Job-Creation Schedule detailing the number of new unskilled jobs to be created.

Non-Compulsory Briefing Session

While attendance is not mandatory, a virtual clarification meeting is highly recommended for prospective bidders to gain a clear understanding of the site-specific requirements and operational expectations. The session is scheduled for Monday, 16 November 2026, from 09:00 to 11:00. It will be hosted via Microsoft Teams. Bidders are advised to register in advance to ensure Foskor can make the necessary logistical arrangements.

Evaluation Criteria

Proposals will undergo a rigorous, multi-stage evaluation process to ensure fairness and technical competence. The adjudication process will assess:

  • Administrative Compliance: Verification of all mandatory returnable documents and CSD registration.
  • Functionality Assessment: Evaluation of the bidder’s technical capacity, proposed methodology, and job-creation potential.
