Supply, delivery and installation of diesel storage tanks: one 30,000-litre tank at Kopfontein Ops Bases and one 60,000-litre tank at Gopane Ops Base for the South African National Defence Force. Closes 17 November 2026. Full specifications are in the attached tender document.
This tender, issued by the Department of Defence (DOD) through the Central Procurement Sub-Committee, seeks a service provider to supply, deliver and install two diesel storage tanks for Joint Operation Headquarters (North West). The requirement covers one 30,000-litre tank at Kopfontein Ops Bases and one 60,000-litre tank at Gopane Ops Base, giving a combined storage capacity of 90,000 litres. The procurement is linked to DOD Procurement Plan 26-27J OPS/3A, which indicates that the work forms part of the approved operational infrastructure plan for the 2026/27 financial year.
The scope is an outsourced turnkey arrangement. The successful bidder is expected to manufacture or procure compliant tanks, transport them to the two sites, and carry out installation, which may include site preparation, foundations or bunding, pipework and connections, testing, and commissioning. Because diesel storage involves fuel safety, environmental protection and fire risk, installations of this kind are normally expected to meet South African National Standards and applicable petroleum installation requirements. Bidders should confirm all technical specifications, materials, quality standards, warranty terms, delivery timelines, and site access or security conditions in the bid document, as the details could not be extracted from the supporting file for this summary.
For suppliers, this opportunity offers a defined, government-funded contract for specialised fuel infrastructure at two secure military sites. Successful work may build a track record in defence and government projects, which can support future bids. Interested parties should review the full bid pack carefully, verify the required registrations and compliance documents, and submit their bids before the closing date of 17 November 2026, noting that late or incomplete submissions are typically not accepted.
Suppliers and manufacturers of industrial or bulk fuel storage tanks, and contractors experienced in petroleum or fuel installation projects, particularly those with mechanical, civil or engineering capability for on-site installation. Applicants should typically hold the necessary government supplier registrations (such as Central Supplier Database registration and a valid tax clearance certificate), a current B-BBEE certificate, and relevant CIDB grading if civil works are included. Businesses with prior experience in defence, government or fuel-related projects are likely to be best placed to compete. Companies should confirm the exact eligibility and compliance requirements in the bid document before applying.
