How does the National School Nutrition Programme tender work?

The NSNP is tendered by provincial education departments and broken into geographic zones. Each province issues tenders for cooked meal delivery to specific schools. Companies need CSD registration, a Certificate of Acceptability from the Department of Health, and tax compliance.

What food safety certificates are required for catering tenders?

You need a Certificate of Acceptability (COA) from your local municipality health department, proof of hygienic food handling facilities, and staff with food handler certificates. Some tenders also require ISO 22000 or HACCP certification.
