Appointment of a service provider to supply, deliver and support FM re-broadcasting receivers for Sentech Limited over three years, with an optional two-year extension on an as-and-when-required basis.
Sentech Limited is seeking a service provider to supply, deliver and support FM re-broadcasting receivers. The contract runs for three years, with an option to extend by a further two years. Work is ordered on an as-and-when-required basis, so the contract does not guarantee a fixed volume of equipment or services. The tender covers the full lifecycle of the equipment: procurement, delivery and ongoing support. Sentech is South Africa's state-owned broadcasting signal distribution and telecommunications company, and FM re-broadcasting receivers are used to relay FM radio signals in areas where direct reception is weak or unavailable.
The tender documents are provided as a single compressed bid pack (BID PACK.zip), but its contents could not be extracted for this summary. The technical specifications, quantities, delivery locations, support and warranty terms, service level requirements, pricing structure and evaluation criteria therefore cannot be confirmed here. Prospective bidders should download and review the full bid pack before deciding whether to submit a bid. Points to check include the technical compliance requirements, any mandatory certifications, the required support response times, and whether the tender uses the 80/20 or 90/10 preference point system under the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act.
For suppliers, this is a multi-year opportunity with recurring potential, since the as-and-when-required model and the two-year extension option allow for repeat business over up to five years. It suits businesses that can combine equipment supply with technical support, which is a stated requirement. Interested parties should also confirm the listing details directly on eTenders, because the status is shown as draft and the closing date is 30 November 2026.
Suppliers and distributors of broadcast or radio transmission equipment, authorised resellers of FM broadcasting hardware, and telecommunications or electronics companies with installation and maintenance capability. Businesses should be able to show technical competence in broadcast equipment and the capacity to support equipment over a multi-year term. Standard South African public-sector requirements, such as CSD registration, tax compliance and B-BBEE certification, are likely to apply but should be verified in the bid pack. Bidders without broadcast or RF experience are unlikely to be suitable.
