Supply, delivery and installation of two 60,000-litre diesel storage tanks at the Pongola and Marivale Operational Bases in KwaZulu-Natal for the Joint Operations Headquarters. Closing date is 9 November 2026. Full technical specifications are in the bid document.
The Department of Defence, through the Joint Operations Headquarters, has invited bids under Bid Number CPSC/B/340/2026 for the outsourcing of a service provider to supply, deliver and install two 60,000-litre diesel storage tanks. One tank is to be installed at the Pongola Operational Base and the other at the Marivale Operational Base, both located in KwaZulu-Natal. The requirement is listed under Procurement Plan DOD PROC PLAN 26-27/J OPS/3E, which indicates that the procurement is planned and budgeted within the 2026/27 financial year. The tender was published on 19 October 2026 and closes on 9 November 2026.
The scope covers the full supply chain for the tanks: manufacturing or sourcing compliant units, transporting them to both sites, and installing them so they are ready for operational use. Installation is likely to involve site preparation and foundation work, positioning and anchoring the tanks, connecting pipework and fittings, and commissioning. Because the tanks will hold a large volume of diesel, bidders should expect strict requirements on safety, environmental protection and fuel containment, including applicable South African standards for flammable liquid storage. Bidders should review the bid document carefully for the exact technical specifications, site access conditions, delivery timelines, warranty and maintenance obligations, and any testing or certification required before handover. Note that the document content could not be extracted automatically, so the points above reflect the typical nature of this type of work and should be verified against the source document.
For suppliers, this is a defined and well-scoped project with a clear end product: two operational fuel storage installations supporting military operations in a strategic region. Successful bidders gain experience in government defence infrastructure, which can open future opportunities with the Department of Defence. Interested businesses should confirm that they meet the bid's compliance requirements, which typically include registration on the National Treasury Central Supplier Database, a valid tax clearance certificate, B-BBEE documentation, and any security vetting or clearance the Department may require for work at military bases. Early review of the full bid document is recommended, as the closing date is approximately three weeks after publication.
This tender suits fuel storage tank manufacturers and suppliers, petroleum and fuel infrastructure installation companies, mechanical and civil engineering contractors experienced in bulk fuel facilities, and general supply-and-install businesses that can handle both the supply and on-site installation of industrial tanks. Businesses should be registered on the National Treasury Central Supplier Database, hold a valid tax clearance certificate, and have B-BBEE documentation. Companies with experience in safety-compliant flammable liquid storage, and those able to meet any security clearance requirements for military sites, will be best placed to respond. Businesses without installation capability or experience with bulk fuel storage should consider partnering with a qualified contractor.
