The national regulator for compulsory specifications requires a caterer to supply food and water for approximately 60–80 participants during a multi-agency enforcement raid across three kwazulu-natal towns. The operation involves nrcs inspectors, saps, SARS customs, the national consumer commission, icasa, municipal law enforcement and other agencies conducting daily inspections of premises suspected of trading non-compliant regulated products. The service is entirely field-based with NO fixed venue; the caterer must deliver to mobile teams at inspection sites in durban (17 november), pietermaritzburg (18 november) and pinetown (19 november), plus travel days on 16 and 20 november. The single most consequential consideration is that the document contains NO quantities, meal specifications, dietary requirements, or service standards — bidders must either seek clarification or price with substantial contingency.

Mandatory operation period: 16–20 November 2026, inclusive; service required on all five days including travel days
