This tender, published by the Department of Public Works, seeks a suitably qualified contractor to provide preventative maintenance services for electrical installations, security lighting, street lights and high mast lights within Cluster KK of the DR RSM districts. The work is aimed at keeping public lighting and security installations in safe, reliable and fully operational condition, reducing unplanned breakdowns, and extending the service life of existing infrastructure. Preventative maintenance typically includes scheduled inspections, testing, cleaning, adjustment, and replacement of worn or faulty components such as lamps, photocells, control gear, cabling, and protective devices, in line with applicable South African electrical regulations and the Occupational Health and Safety Act.

For the appointed contractor, the engagement offers a sustained maintenance programme across multiple districts, supporting long-term business stability and capacity development in the electrical services sector.
