Access Control System Maintenance and Repair NEW

This Western Cape Health tender (reference GSHPT176/R/2026) seeks a service provider for the preventative maintenance, servicing and repair of the Softcon access control system at three sites: Groote Schuur Hospital, the Groote Schuur Creche and William Slater (ACE). The contract is for a fixed period of two years. The scope covers keeping the installed Softcon access control infrastructure in reliable working order, which supports controlled entry to these facilities and the security of staff, patients, children and visitors.

Preventative maintenance is the core of the requirement, meaning scheduled inspections, servicing and routine upkeep designed to reduce system failures and downtime. Corrective repairs are also included, so the appointed contractor would be expected to respond to faults and restore system functionality when breakdowns occur. Because the sites include a major tertiary hospital, a childcare facility and an ACE facility, continuity of service and reliable response times are likely to be important. The full technical specifications, response time requirements, reporting obligations, pricing structure and any spare-parts or call-out provisions are contained in the tender document (GSHPT176-R-2026 Softcon Access Control.pdf), which could not be extracted for this analysis and should be reviewed directly before bidding.

For prospective bidders, this tender offers a multi-year, multi-site maintenance contract with predictable recurring work. Interested businesses should confirm they meet the standard South African public sector requirements, including tax compliance, a valid Central Supplier Database (CSD) registration, and B-BBEE status, and should verify that their technicians have the Softcon system expertise needed to service the installed equipment. Clarification questions should be submitted through the official eTenders channel before the closing date of 7 December 2026.
