Risk Management Services

The Department of Trade, Industry and Competition (the dtic) is seeking to appoint a professional service provider to deliver risk management services over a 36-month contract period. The tender is published under reference BID dtic 06/26-27 on the eTenders portal, with a closing date of 13 November 2026. The primary tender document (Risk Management Services) is available for download, but its content could not be extracted for this summary, so the specific deliverables, reporting requirements, and evaluation criteria should be confirmed directly in that document.

Risk management services for a national government department typically involve supporting the organisation in identifying, assessing, monitoring, and mitigating risks that could affect the achievement of its strategic and operational objectives. Services of this kind commonly include facilitating risk assessments and risk registers, reviewing risk management frameworks and policies, advising on risk mitigation and treatment strategies, supporting risk committees and governance structures, and providing periodic risk reporting. Bidders should verify these expectations against the detailed scope of work in the tender document.

A multi-year appointment provides continuity, allowing the appointed provider to build institutional knowledge of the department's operations, risk profile, and governance environment over time. This supports stronger risk oversight, improved compliance with public sector governance requirements such as the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA) and National Treasury risk management guidance, and more consistent reporting to oversight bodies. Interested providers should review the full tender document carefully before submitting a bid, paying close attention to mandatory requirements, compliance documentation, and pricing instructions.
