Appointment of service providers to develop, test and build capacity for a Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) for the Gauteng Department of Education over a fixed three-year period. Closing date: 20 November 2026.
The Gauteng Department of Education (GDE) invites suitably qualified service providers to develop, test and build internal capacity for a Business Continuity Management System (BCMS). The BCMS is intended to strengthen the department's ability to prepare for, respond to and recover from disruptive incidents, such as system failures, facility outages, natural disasters or other events that could interrupt the delivery of education services across the province. The appointment is for a fixed period of three (3) years.
The anticipated scope typically covers the development of business continuity policies, frameworks and plans; business impact analyses and risk assessments; the design and documentation of recovery strategies and procedures; the testing and exercising of continuity plans through simulations or tabletop exercises; and the transfer of knowledge and skills to GDE officials so that the department can sustain the system independently after the contract ends. Detailed requirements, deliverables, evaluation criteria and pricing schedules are set out in Section 1 and Section 2 of the tender documents, which should be reviewed in full before submission. Note that the content of these documents could not be extracted for this summary, so bidders should verify all specifics directly.
For service providers, this opportunity offers a multi-year engagement with a provincial government department and the chance to build a track record in public sector business continuity and resilience work. Bidders should ensure they meet all mandatory requirements, including compliance with National Treasury and Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act (PPPFA) requirements, tax compliance, and any specified professional certifications or experience. Submissions must be lodged by the closing date of 20 November 2026.
Business continuity and risk management consultancies, ISO 22301 specialists, disaster recovery and resilience firms, IT governance and cybersecurity consultancies with BCM experience, and professional services firms with public sector experience in Gauteng. Businesses should have demonstrable experience in BCMS development, testing and training, and should hold valid tax clearance and B-BBEE certification. Small and medium enterprises may qualify for preference under applicable PPPFA and B-BBEE rules.
