Provision of 24-hour physical security services at Dr. Kenneth Kaunda district sites in the North West for 36 months, by the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development. Closes 11 November 2026. Full requirements are in the tender document.
The North West Department of Agriculture and Rural Development is seeking a service provider to deliver round-the-clock physical security services at its sites within the Dr. Kenneth Kaunda District for a contract period of thirty-six (36) months. The tender was published on 20 October 2026 under reference 13 DARD 16 2026 and closes on 11 November 2026. The supporting tender document (13 DARD 16 2026 DR KK PHYSICAL SECURITY SERVICES.pdf) could not be parsed for this summary, so the details below reflect the standard scope of government guarding contracts and should be verified against the official bid specification before any bid decisions are made.
Based on the tender title, the service is expected to cover continuous, 24-hour guarding of department premises, including access control, monitoring of entry and exit points, patrols, and the protection of state property, equipment, and personnel. Bidders should expect contractual requirements around staffing levels per site, shift rosters, supervision, incident logging and reporting to the department, and response protocols for emergencies or breaches. Contract performance is likely to be monitored through service level reviews, and the department may require compliance with minimum wage legislation, labour law, and occupational health and safety obligations for guards.
For a security provider, this contract offers a multi-year revenue stream of approximately three years, with a stable government client and predictable service delivery across multiple sites. Successful bidders gain a credible public-sector reference that can support future tenders. Interested companies should carefully review the bid document for evaluation criteria, pricing structure, mandatory documentation, and any site inspection or briefing sessions before the closing date.
Registered private security companies with valid PSIRA (Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority) registration and the capacity to deploy trained guards across multiple sites on 24-hour shifts. Businesses should also hold a valid Central Supplier Database (CSD) registration, a valid tax clearance certificate, and B-BBEE certification, as these are standard requirements for South African government tenders. Companies with experience in government or large institutional guarding contracts, and those based in or with operations in the North West Province, are likely to be best placed to bid. Confirm all mandatory requirements in the bid document before applying.
