Request for proposal for the provision of office cleaning services over a 36-month contract, issued by the Industrial Development Corporation of South Africa. Proposals close 8 December 2026. Full scope and requirements are in the supporting documents.
The Industrial Development Corporation of South Africa (IDC) has issued Request for Proposal FOSRBY-RFP-15-26/27 for the provision of office cleaning services for a period of thirty-six (36) months. The tender was published on 9 November 2026 with a closing date of 8 December 2026. The listing is currently marked as draft, so the final terms may change before the formal invitation is confirmed. Suppliers should check the eTenders portal for updates.
The scope of work, service locations, specifications, pricing requirements, and evaluation criteria are contained in the supporting document package (a compressed ZIP file). The text of the document could not be extracted for this summary, so the number of sites, the frequency and hours of cleaning, the cleaning materials and equipment required, staffing levels, and any health and safety or site-specific obligations have not been confirmed here. Interested bidders should download and review the full RFP before preparing a proposal.
For businesses, the main benefit of this opportunity is a three-year contract with a government development finance institution, which can provide stable, recurring revenue and a strong reference for future public-sector work. Service providers should expect the usual requirements for South African public tenders, such as tax compliance, Central Supplier Database registration, and B-BBEE certification, but these should be verified against the RFP itself. The category listed on the portal is 'Supplies: General', which does not match a services contract. Bidders may wish to confirm with the buyer that the procurement is for cleaning services.
This tender is suited to registered commercial cleaning and facilities management companies with experience in maintaining office environments, especially multi-site or large corporate and government premises. Bidders should have the capacity to deliver a three-year contract, including trained staff, cleaning equipment, and consumables, and should be able to meet South African public procurement requirements, including tax compliance, CSD registration, and B-BBEE status. Small and medium cleaning businesses, including B-BBEE-compliant and township or Black-owned enterprises, may find the opportunity accessible if they can meet the scale requirements, possibly through joint ventures or subcontracting arrangements. Businesses without commercial cleaning experience or the ability to sustain a 36-month contract should carefully review the full RFP before bidding.
