The Department of Defence seeks a panel of service providers to supply and deliver dry rations in North West Province for 60 months. Suppliers must meet the bid requirements, which are detailed in the Technical and Price Proposal documents.
The Department of Defence (DoD) has issued Bid CPSC/B/PC/039/2026 to outsource a panel of service providers for the supply and delivery of dry rations to DoD units in the North West Province. The requirement is issued under DoD Procurement Plan 26-27/LOG DIV/1711 B and is structured as a panel arrangement with a contract period of sixty (60) months. A panel allows the Department to call on several pre-qualified suppliers over the contract period rather than awarding a single contract, so appointed suppliers should expect repeat orders subject to the Department's needs and the terms of the agreement.
The tender description does not specify the full menu, but dry rations generally refer to non-perishable food items such as grains, rice, pasta, maize meal, dried pulses, cooking oil, sugar, tinned goods and similar shelf-stable products. Suppliers should expect delivery obligations to military sites within the North West Province, which typically require reliable transport, adherence to delivery schedules, quality and expiry-date controls, and proper documentation for each consignment. Bidders should confirm the exact specifications, quantities, packaging, delivery points and compliance requirements in the bid documents before pricing.
Response is through a two-part submission consisting of a Technical Proposal and a Price Proposal, both available for download on eTenders. The closing date is 16 November 2026. Bidders should check the bid documents for mandatory requirements, including tax compliance, B-BBEE status, CSD registration, and any local content or set-aside conditions. Note that the eTenders listing shows the category as Food and beverage service activities, but the scope describes the wholesale supply and delivery of food goods, so suppliers in food distribution, wholesale and logistics should review the documents carefully.
This tender is most relevant to registered food wholesalers, distributors and catering suppliers that can supply shelf-stable food products in bulk and deliver them reliably to government sites in North West Province. Businesses with existing government supply experience, B-BBEE recognition, a valid tax clearance certificate, CSD registration, and their own or contracted logistics capacity are well placed. Small and medium enterprises and suppliers from North West Province may benefit from preferential procurement provisions, subject to the bid conditions. Suppliers without food distribution capability, or those unable to meet the 60-month commitment and delivery requirements, should not apply. Note that the listing status is 'draft', so interested businesses should confirm the bid is open and read the full Technical and Price Proposal documents before preparing a submission.
