Three-year, as-and-when-required supply and delivery of cleaning materials, chemicals and consumables to six SANParks Arid Region parks in the Northern Cape. Prices are fixed, delivery is due 7-14 days after order, and MSDS sheets and CSD registration are mandatory. Closes 4 December 2026.
South African National Parks (SANParks) has issued Bid GNP-028-26 for the appointment of one or more service providers to supply and deliver cleaning materials, chemicals and consumables to its Arid Region parks over a 36-month period. The parks covered are Ai-Ais/Richtersveld Transfrontier Park, Augrabies Falls National Park, Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, Mokala National Park, Namaqua National Park and Meerkat National Park. Each park is evaluated as a separate category, so bidders may tender for one, several or all six. Bidders must state the specific parks they are bidding for, and any park not selected will not be evaluated. The contract is an as-and-when-required arrangement: SANParks does not guarantee any minimum quantity or value, and orders will depend on each park's operational needs and available funds. Prices quoted must remain fixed for the full contract period and the bid must remain valid for 180 days after closing.
The specification covers roughly 66 line items across several categories. These include toilet paper and guest soap; laundry products such as fabric softener, industrial washing powder, heavy-duty detergent, laundry liquid and bleach; dishwashing liquid, scourers and dish cloths; all-purpose, window and multi-surface cleaners; air fresheners, insecticide and disinfectant fogger; floor polish, pine disinfectant gel and sanitisers; refuse and kitchen bin liners; and cleaning tools such as mops, brooms, dustpans, buckets, squeegees, microfibre cloths and feather dusters. Personal protective items (heavy-duty gloves, disposable aprons, dust masks), vehicle dashboard polish and fleet car-wash shampoo are also included. Products must meet SABS/SANS requirements where specified and must be supplied as listed, or as equivalents that meet or exceed the stated specifications. The service provider must deliver to the correct park and designated delivery point in good condition. Delivery to parks is to be included in the scope of work, and bidders must price delivery per kilometre.
Mandatory requirements at the compulsory virtual briefing (17 November 2026, 11:00, via Microsoft Teams), together with a completed park selection schedule and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for all listed cleaning materials, must be met before a bid proceeds to evaluation. Bidders must then score at least 70 out of 100 on functionality, based on financial capability (value of comparable contracts in the last five years, up to R300,000 for maximum points), at least three years of company existence, three signed client reference letters, and delivery turnaround (7-14 days scores highest). Price carries 80 points and specific goals carry 20 points, which are awarded to suppliers with business premises in a Northern Cape municipality. Hard copies and a USB copy of the bid must be delivered to the tender box at the Arid Region Offices in Upington, which is open Monday to Friday from 07:30 to 16:00. Late bids will not be accepted, and bids must be on the official SBD forms, with no retyping or counter-conditions.
This tender suits wholesale and distribution companies that supply janitorial and cleaning products, chemicals, paper products, PPE and cleaning tools in bulk. Businesses with Northern Cape premises (which earn specific-goal points) and the logistics capacity to deliver to remote parks such as Kgalagadi, Richtersveld and Namaqua within 7-14 days are particularly well placed. Bidders should hold a valid CSD registration and tax compliance status, be able to provide MSDS sheets, and have at least three years of trading history with three signed reference letters. Those with comparable government or large-client contracts (up to R300,000 cumulative) will score better on functionality. The contract value is not stated in the documents, so bidders should confirm the estimated spend with SANParks before committing resources.
