Agricultural Processing & Supply Company Tenders in Gauteng

The Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment requires supply and delivery of five standard laptops, each accompanied by a NETTRACE unit, laptop backpack, laptop lock, keyboard and mouse, delivered to Environment House, 473 Steve Biko and Soutpansberg Road, Arcadia, Pretoria. Bidders may quote any one of the three approved brands — Dell (Annexure B), HP (Annexure C) or Lenovo (Annexure D) — provided the model matches the approved specification and the correct NETTRACE for that brand. The decisive hurdle is authorisation: only bidders who are the manufacturer's authorised dealer for the brand offered, who hold an OEM certificate, and who are accredited under SITA RFB 740 in Gauteng may bid, and missing either proof disqualifies the quotation. Quotations close on 19 October 2026 at 11:00 by email only, with 80/20 preference points applying.

The CSIR seeks proposals for the manufacture of mechanical components using CSIR drawings on an as-and-when-required basis over a five-year period.

Bidders must pass a mandatory requirements phase, score at least 75 out of 100 on functionality, and then compete on price (80 points) and specific goals (20 points). The most consequential consideration is the strict Phase 1 disqualification for any missing mandatory document or non-compliance, including the requirement to demonstrate at least three prior projects of 30 or more kiosks or equivalent units.

The Agricultural Research Council seeks a service provider to formulate, manufacture, test and commercialise a fungal biopesticide using Beauveria bassiana isolate PPRI 26695 for biological control of the two-spotted stink bug (Bathycoelia distincta) in South African macadamia orchards. The scope spans mass production, formulation, two-season large-scale field trials across multiple climatic conditions, product registration under the Fertilizers, Farm Feeds, Seed and Remedies Act, and eventual commercialisation. The ARC retains ownership of proprietary material while the service provider acts as dossier owner. The single most consequential consideration is the requirement for demonstrable experience in biological control product development — bidders must submit proof of own formulated products or client reference letters, and must achieve minimum 60% scores in both functionality (48/80 points) and presentation (12/20 points) to progress to price and B-BBEE evaluation.

Sentech requires a service provider to deliver mast and tower climbing and rescue training under a three-year contract, with an option to extend for a further two years. The work is Gauteng-based and is procured as a request for quotation under reference RFX6000003683, closing on 22 October 2026 at 12:00. Bidders must already be registered on Sentech's supplier database and must return a signed Sentech Supplier Consent Form, which authorises Sentech to process the bidder's personal information — including special personal information — for bid evaluation, supplier registration, verification, background screening and FICA Know Your Customer checks. The consent form must be signed by a representative who warrants they are duly authorised to bind the bidder, and withdrawing consent in writing may stop the bid from being processed.

Bids are evaluated on compliance, technical experience (minimum 60% threshold), price (80 points), and specific goals (20 points). The most consequential consideration is the mandatory hand delivery of the complete bid to the Braamfontein address before 22 October 2026 at 10:00, with automatic disqualification for any missing mandatory returnable document.

The Electoral Commission (IEC) requires the supply, delivery and installation of chairs at its Eastern Cape local offices. Bidders must submit a Local Content Declaration (Annexure C) with their bid, demonstrating compliance with SATS 1286:2011.

The Electoral Commission (IEC) Eastern Cape invites bids for the supply, delivery and installation of office furniture. Bidders must comply with local content requirements under SATS 1286:2011F, completing Annex C, D and E declarations with all calculations excluding VAT.

The Electoral Commission (IEC) in the Free State is seeking bids for the supply, delivery and installation of office furniture under tender 0010578025.

The tender closes on 28 October 2026 at 11:00 UTC.

The Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA) requires a contractor to supply and install 300m of 300mm² 25.4/44kV single core XLPE aluminium cable, including joining kits, terminations, surge arrestors, earthing, and pressure testing at Pinedene in the Metrorail Gauteng region. The works involve digging a 200m trench (at least 1200mm deep), laying cable in sandy, clay, and rocky soil, and delivering unused material to Capital Park Electrical depot. Bidders must hold a CIDB grading of 4 EP or higher and achieve a minimum of 60 out of 100 points in the technical functionality evaluation to be considered further.

Denel PMP (Pretoria Metal Pressings, a division of Denel SOC Ltd) requires the supply and delivery of 99.995% pure zinc ingots to Specification 1330010 Issue 3 over a one-year period, estimated at ±240 000 kg per annum (±20 000 kg per month), with quantities varying according to demand. Bidders must first clear administrative and mandatory screening — proven zinc trading, certified shareholding records and stamped bank-confirmed banking details — and then score at least 70 of 100 on functionality before price and preference points are opened. The functional score is the decisive hurdle: 40% rests on years of zinc ingot trading evidenced by commercial invoices and 40% on buyer reference letters no older than two years, so a bidder without a documented trading track record risks elimination before price is considered. Tenders close at 12:00 on 30 October 2026 and must be delivered physically in two separately marked envelopes.
