Supply and delivery of various networking equipment to support a 100Gbps service request at a Teraco site in Rondebosch, Cape Town, for Broadband Infraco SOC. Reissued RFQ 12342 closes 10 November 2026.
Broadband Infraco SOC has issued a reissued Request for Quotation (RFQ 12342) to appoint a service provider to supply and deliver various equipment for a 100Gbps service request at a Teraco facility in Rondebosch, Cape Town. The tender falls under the Telecommunications category and is a reissue of an earlier RFQ, which suggests the original process was revised, re-advertised, or required amended specifications. The notice was published on 3 November 2026 with a closing date of 10 November 2026. Its status is listed as draft, so suppliers should confirm that the RFQ is live on eTenders before preparing a submission.
The scope, as described in the notice, centres on procuring networking equipment capable of supporting a 100Gbps connection. The supporting document, titled "RE-ISSUE RFQ 12342 Procurement of Various Equipment," is listed as active and downloadable, but its content could not be extracted for this summary. Bidders should therefore download the full RFQ pack to confirm the exact equipment list, quantities, technical specifications, delivery timelines and delivery location, as well as any compliance, certification, warranty, installation or commissioning requirements. Pricing, evaluation criteria and the preference point system applicable under South African public procurement rules should also be checked in the source document.
For suppliers, this opportunity is likely to suit those who can source enterprise or carrier-grade network hardware, such as optical transceivers, switches, routers or related components, and who can deliver to a data centre environment within a short timeframe. Because the closing window is about one week from publication, prompt review is essential. Prospective bidders should verify tax compliance status, CSD registration and B-BBEE status, as these are typically required for government and state-owned entity tenders. Anyone unable to confirm the full specification from the RFQ should seek clarification from the buyer before the closing date.
This tender is most suitable for ICT hardware suppliers, network equipment distributors and resellers, and telecommunications solution providers with experience supplying high-speed fibre, optical or data centre networking components. Businesses that hold or can obtain OEM partner status for relevant networking brands, and that can meet tight delivery timelines, are well placed to respond. Suppliers without a verified specification for 100Gbps equipment should review the RFQ carefully and seek clarification from Broadband Infraco before submitting a bid. Companies must also be registered on the Central Supplier Database and meet the relevant tax and B-BBEE requirements.
