Appointment of a service provider to facilitate SETA-accredited OHS Supervisor training for Department officials. Providers must hold recognised SETA accreditation for the programme. Closing date: 26 October 2026.
The Department of Basic Education has issued a request for quotation (RFQ26502) for the appointment of a service provider to facilitate Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Supervisor training for officials within the Department. The training must be accredited under any recognised Sector Education and Training Authority (SETA), ensuring that the qualification is nationally recognised and aligned with the South African skills development framework. The full scope, learning outcomes, delivery schedule, number of participants, and pricing requirements are detailed in the Terms of Reference document attached to the tender, which was published on 21 October 2026. Prospective bidders should review this document carefully, as the summary available on the eTenders portal is limited and the document content could not be extracted for this listing.
The appointed service provider will be responsible for facilitating OHS Supervisor training in line with the Occupational Health and Safety Act 85 of 1993 and its regulations, which require employers to ensure that supervisors are competent to manage workplace health and safety risks. Training is expected to equip supervisors with practical knowledge of hazard identification, risk assessment, incident reporting, legal compliance, and the supervisory duties required to maintain safe working environments. Bidders should expect to demonstrate trainer competence, relevant industry experience, valid SETA accreditation for the programme offered, and the capacity to deliver training to the Department's officials within the agreed timeframes.
For the Department, appointing an accredited provider supports compliance with statutory OHS obligations, reduces workplace injury and liability risks, and builds internal capacity for safety management. For service providers, this opportunity offers a government contract in the skills development and training sector. Bidders should confirm their SETA accreditation status, review the Terms of Reference in full, and submit their quotations before the closing date of 26 October 2026, noting that the tender is currently listed as draft and details may be updated.
Accredited training providers and skills development companies holding valid SETA accreditation for occupational health and safety supervisor programmes, particularly those with experience delivering OHS training to public sector clients. Registered OHS consultancies with training capability, and training providers registered on the National Treasury central supplier database (CSD) with a valid tax clearance certificate, should also review this opportunity. Small, medium and micro enterprises (SMMEs) and businesses with B-BBEE certification may benefit from preferential procurement points, subject to the requirements in the Terms of Reference.
