The free state department of tourism requires a tour operator to provide travel and tour management services. The procurement follows a request for quotation process with a closing deadline of 16 october 2026 at midday. Bidders must hold active csd and SARS tax clearance registrations, submit b-bbee documentation for preference points, and complete standard national treasury returnable forms. The single most consequential consideration is the compressed timeline and the need to assemble all compliance documentation — including local production evidence and independent bid certification — before the midday deadline, with NO indication of a compulsory briefing to clarify scope.
