The Department of Rural Development and Land Reform is seeking a service provider to deliver training on Generally Recognised Accounting Practice (GRAP). Quotations close 29 October 2026 at 11:00 and require CSD, tax clearance, CIPC and SBD forms.
The Department of Rural Development and Land Reform has issued a request for quotation (RFQ reference 5/2/1/1/2026-2027/12) for the appointment of a service provider to deliver Generally Recognised Accounting Practice (GRAP) training. GRAP is the accounting framework that public sector entities in South Africa must apply when preparing financial statements, so the training is aimed at strengthening the department's financial management and compliance capacity. The tender is issued as a price quotation process, which indicates that the expected contract value falls within the quotation threshold. The estimated value is not stated in the documents reviewed.
The RFQ is managed by the Acquisition Management unit within the Logistics and Asset Management directorate. Quotations must be submitted on the official forms and must not be retyped. Bidders must complete and return the SBD forms (SBD 1, the pricing schedule at SBD 3.3, SBD 4 and SBD 6.1), a valid Tax Clearance Certificate (TCC), CIPC documents with a copy of the identity document of the relevant director or owner, and the latest full Central Supplier Database (CSD) report. Failure to include these documents may result in disqualification. Quotations must be sealed, labelled with the description and file number, and deposited in the quotation box at 600 Lillian Ngoyi, Berea Park, Pretoria, by 11:00 on 29 October 2026. Late submissions will not be considered. Technical queries should be directed to Mr Tonie Grobler, and bid-related queries to Ms Mphori Thobejane or Mr Sando Nkwana.
The tender applies the 80/20 preference point system, with 80 points for price and 20 points for specific goals. Specific goal points are available for Historically Disadvantaged Individuals (10 points), women-owned enterprises (5 points), persons with disabilities (2 points) and youth-owned enterprises (3 points). Bidders claiming these points must complete the SBD 6.1 form in full and provide supporting proof, such as identity documents, company registration documents, or certified evidence of disability. Bidders should also note the restrictions on subcontracting, which limit the share of work that can be passed to non-qualifying enterprises where HDI points are claimed. Full scope details, such as course outline, number of participants, delivery format, duration and venue, should be confirmed with the buyer's technical contact before submitting a quotation.
Accredited training providers and skills development organisations with experience in GRAP, public sector accounting, or government financial reporting. Accounting firms and consultancies offering public finance training are also well suited. Businesses that are Historically Disadvantaged, women-owned, youth-owned, or disability-owned may benefit from specific goal points under the 80/20 system, provided they supply the required proof. All bidders must be CSD registered, tax compliant, and able to submit the required SBD forms, TCC and CIPC documents by the closing deadline. Small and medium training businesses able to meet the price quotation requirements are encouraged to apply.
