Supply and Delivery of Road Construction Materials NEW

The South African National Defence Force, through the South African Army, has issued Invitation to Bid CPSC/B/306/2026 for the outsourcing of a service provider to supply and deliver road construction and earthworks materials for the Combat Training Centre at Lohatla. The requirement covers three material grades: 800 cubic metres of G1 crusher run/base course, 1,300 cubic metres of G5 gravel fill, and 1,200 cubic metres of G7 sub-base material. These materials are standard components of pavement structures and are typically used for road layers, formation support and general site works. The tender is registered under procurement plan DOD PROC PLAN 26-27/SA ARMY/2387, indicating it is part of the Department of Defence's approved 2026/27 procurement programme.

The scope of work includes sourcing, supplying and delivering the specified volumes of materials to the Lohatla site in accordance with the grading specifications for each category. Bidders are expected to demonstrate access to compliant quarry sources, the ability to produce or procure materials meeting G1, G5 and G7 requirements, and the logistical capacity to deliver the full quantities within the contract period. Materials will generally need to be tested and certified against recognised South African road construction standards, such as the SANRAL and COLTO specifications, and bidders should expect quality control and inspection requirements throughout delivery. Full technical requirements, pricing schedules, compliance documentation and evaluation criteria are contained in the bid document, which could not be extracted automatically and should be reviewed directly on eTenders before submission.

For suppliers, this opportunity offers a sizeable, government-backed volume of construction materials with a defined delivery scope, which can support longer-term relationships with the Department of Defence. Successful bidders benefit from payment security associated with state contracts and the opportunity to build a track record in defence infrastructure supply. Prospective bidders should verify their tax compliance status, CSD registration, B-BBEE certificate and relevant industry accreditations, and should plan carefully for the closing date of 12 November 2026, noting that late or incomplete submissions are typically disqualified under National Treasury procurement rules.
