Gap Analysis of Sanitation Qualifications Training NEW

Open Closing: 11 Dec 2026 at 11:00 Published: 9 Nov 2026

Overview

Summary

Appointment of a professional service provider for 36 months to assess gaps in sanitation-related qualifications and training programmes across the full sanitation services chain. Non-compulsory briefing on 24 November 2026; bids close 11 December 2026 at 11:00.

Detailed Description

The Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) is seeking a Professional Service Provider (PSP) to conduct a gap analysis of sanitation-related qualifications and training programmes across the sanitation services chain. The appointment is for a period of 36 months. The assignment is intended to show where existing qualifications and training offerings align with, or fall short of, the skills and competencies needed to operate, maintain and manage sanitation services. The sanitation services chain covers the stages through which sanitation services are delivered, so the successful PSP is expected to consider the full range of roles and institutions involved rather than a single segment.

The detailed scope, deliverables, reporting requirements, evaluation criteria and any eligibility conditions are set out in the Bid Document (DIB document WP11581), which is available from the eTenders portal. The Bid Invitation Notice does not state the estimated contract value, so interested bidders should confirm this in the full bid documentation. Bidders should expect to demonstrate experience in skills and qualifications analysis, training programme assessment, sanitation or water sector knowledge, and the ability to deliver a multi-year assignment. All bid responses must be submitted online through the eTenders submission portal. Bids close on 11 December 2026 at 11:00.

A non-compulsory briefing session will be held on 24 November 2026 from 09:30 to 11:30 via Microsoft Teams (Meeting ID: 369 129 325 690 884 6). Enquiries on the bidding procedure may be directed to Ms Millicent Williams (SCM Contact Person, Tel: (012) 336 7619, Email: Williamsm@dws.gov.za). Technical enquiries may be directed to Mr Aaron Sekonya (Technical Contact Person, Tel: (012) 336 6859, Email: SekonyaA@dws.gov.za). The department has warned bidders about scam syndicates posing as DWS officials. Bidders should report any suspicious contact to the department. DWS officials will not solicit bribes in exchange for bid awards.

Suitable Businesses

Management consultancies, research organisations and skills development firms with experience in qualifications analysis, training programme evaluation and curriculum or competency assessment. Bidders with knowledge of the water and sanitation sector, public sector procurement, and multi-year government assignments are well placed to respond. Firms with education, TVET or SETA-related expertise may also find this relevant, particularly as partners in a consortium or joint venture. Bidders should check the full DIB document for specific eligibility, CIDB, B-BBEE and experience requirements before submitting a bid.
