Accredited OHS, Emergency Response & Firefighting Training

Overstrand Municipality, based in Hermanus in the Western Cape, is inviting quotations for the provision of accredited training services across three programmes: Occupational Health and Safety (reference KM-03-KT01), Emergency Preparation and Response, and Basic Firefighting. The advert lists the Emergency Preparation and Response and Basic Firefighting programmes under the same reference code (KM-03-KT02), which may be a typographical error, so bidders should confirm the correct reference with the contact person before submitting. The quotation is issued under reference SC2686/2026. The quotation documents are available in English, free of charge, from the Supply Chain Management Unit or by email from the contact person, Mr. S. Notwala (snotwala@overstrand.gov.za, 028 313 8973).

The municipality requires training that is accredited, which suggests that providers should hold the relevant accreditation for the programmes they quote. The advert does not state the accrediting body, the number of learners, the duration of each programme, the delivery location, or the budget. These details should be confirmed in the full quotation document. Because the scope spans workplace safety, emergency preparedness and firefighting, the training is likely aimed at municipal employees who carry safety, emergency or response responsibilities.

Completed quotations must be emailed to snotwala@overstrand.gov.za or delivered in person to the Supply Chain Management Unit, 1 Magnolia Avenue, Hermanus, addressed to Mr. S. Notwala. The closing date and time is 9 November 2026 at 12:00, and late submissions are normally not accepted. The municipality will evaluate quotations using the 80/20 preference point system in terms of its Procurement Policy, which means price carries 80 points and preference points for B-BBEE and other eligible criteria carry 20 points. Interested businesses should review the full document carefully, confirm their accreditation and capacity to deliver all three programmes, and submit before the deadline.
