The Department of Transport seeks a service provider for comprehensive professional cleaning services over a three-year period. Suitable for cleaning contractors with proven experience in large government facilities. Full scope and pricing are detailed in the RFP and Annexure B.
The Department of Transport has issued a Request for Proposals (Reference DOT/17/2026/CS) to appoint a service provider to render comprehensive professional cleaning services for a contract period of three (3) years. The tender falls under the Functional Services category, which includes cleaning and security services. Service providers are required to submit their bids through the eTenders portal by the closing date of 3 November 2026, in line with the prescribed bid documentation.
Based on the supporting documents published with the tender, bidders are expected to complete several components, including a bid envelope and submission checklist, the full Request for Proposals (RFP DOT-17-2026-CS), a financial breakdown for the cleaning services (Annexure B), and a company and team experience template (Annexure D). The financial breakdown indicates that pricing must be structured according to the department's prescribed cost schedule, while Annexure D requires bidders to demonstrate their organisational capacity and the experience of their proposed team. Note that the content of these documents could not be extracted for this summary, so specific service specifications, site lists, staffing requirements, and evaluation criteria should be confirmed directly from the RFP.
Successful bidders can expect a multi-year contract with a government department, offering revenue stability and the opportunity to build a strong public-sector track record. Prospective bidders should review the RFP carefully for mandatory requirements such as tax compliance, B-BBEE status, CIDB or industry registrations where applicable, and proof of relevant experience. Early preparation of the financial schedule and experience documentation is recommended to meet the closing deadline.
Cleaning companies and facilities management service providers registered on the National Treasury Central Supplier Database with experience delivering cleaning services to government or large commercial clients. Businesses should have the capacity to mobilise staff and equipment across department sites, meet B-BBEE and tax compliance requirements, and provide documented evidence of relevant team and company experience. Small and medium cleaning enterprises may be suitable if they can meet the RFP's eligibility and experience thresholds, potentially through joint ventures or subcontracting arrangements.
