Appointment of security service providers for hospitals, community health centres, primary health care clinics and supporting facilities in Nelson Mandela Bay for 36 months. Open to qualifying security firms; the full scope and pricing requirements are in the tender document.
The Eastern Cape Department of Health, through its Nelson Mandela Bay Health District, is seeking to appoint one or more service providers to deliver security services across its facilities in the Nelson Mandela Metro. The covered sites include district and regional hospitals, Community Health Centres (CHCs), Primary Health Care (PHC) clinics and other supporting health care facilities. The contract is for a fixed period of thirty-six (36) months, providing multi-year continuity for successful bidders.
Security in healthcare settings is critical to protecting patients, staff, visitors and medical assets, and to maintaining safe access control, emergency response readiness and orderly facility operations. Service providers can expect requirements typically associated with public health security contracts, including guarding of entrances and premises, access control and visitor management, patrolling, incident reporting and coordination with facility management and the South African Police Service where required. Bidders should confirm the exact posts, shift patterns, staffing levels, equipment requirements and compliance obligations directly in the tender document, as the document content could not be extracted for this summary.
For security companies, this tender represents a significant opportunity to secure a long-term public sector contract within the Nelson Mandela Bay area. Successful bidders are expected to demonstrate compliance with the Private Security Industry Regulation Act (PSIRA) registration, valid tax and B-BBEE status, the Compensation of Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act (COIDA) and other statutory requirements, along with relevant tender documentation such as SBD forms and company registration details. Prospective bidders should review the full tender document carefully, verify eligibility and mandatory returnable documents, and submit bids before the closing date of 20 November 2026.
Registered private security companies holding valid PSIRA registration, particularly those with experience in healthcare or public sector facilities and capacity to deploy guarding teams across multiple sites in the Nelson Mandela Bay area. Businesses should have valid tax clearance, B-BBEE certification, COIDA compliance and the ability to meet the tender's mandatory and functional requirements.
