Business Continuity Management Services

The Richards Bay Industrial Development Zone Company SOC Ltd (RBIDZ) invites capable and competent service providers to submit proposals for the appointment of a service provider to provide Business Continuity Management (BCM) services. The contract is referenced MO/ADM/562/26. The purpose of the appointment is to strengthen the RBIDZ's ability to plan for, respond to, and recover from disruptions, so that critical operations can continue during incidents that could otherwise interrupt service delivery. The bid invitation does not itemise the detailed deliverables, so prospective bidders should obtain the full tender documents to confirm the specific scope, timelines, and reporting requirements.

The tender is open to South African service providers that meet the eligibility conditions set out in the bid invitation. It is a condition of tender that only B-BBEE compliant enterprises with Level 1 to 4 status may bid. Tender documents are available from 2 to 13 November 2026 for a non-refundable fee of R500.00, paid into the RBIDZ's Absa bank account. Interested bidders must first email tenders@rbidz.co.za with their company name, address, and contact details, quoting the tender number and description in the subject line. Documents are emailed only after the tenderer indicates interest and submits proof of payment. Bidders who experience problems with proof of payment or document receipt can call 035 797 2652. No briefing meeting or site inspection will be held for this project.

Submissions must be personally deposited in the official tender box at the RBIDZ Complex, 4 Harbour Arterial, Alton, Richards Bay, by 12:00 on 1 December 2026, quoting the contract number. Telegraphic, telephonic, telex, electronic, emailed, and late tenders will not be accepted. Tenders are opened in public. Evaluation proceeds in three stages: compliance assessment, functionality scoring, and then price and preference on an 80/20 system under the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act. Bidders must score a minimum of 65% on functionality to progress to price and preference evaluation; those who do not are deemed non-responsive and disqualified. The RBIDZ is not bound to accept the lowest price or highest scoring tender and reserves the right to appoint the tenderer that best meets its requirements on reasonable grounds. Successful bidders gain a public sector contract with a state-owned company that operates a strategic industrial development zone.
