SAMTRAC Occupational Health and Safety Training NEW

The Perishable Products Export Control Board (PPECB), a Schedule 3A entity under the Public Finance Management Act, is inviting qualified and accredited training service providers to submit quotations for the provision of two training programmes: an Introduction to SAMTRAC course and a SAMTRAC Full Qualification course. The PPECB manages and monitors the cold chain for the export of perishable products from South Africa, and this training is intended to build structured, globally accepted Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) capability among its personnel and stakeholders.

The training must enable delegates to understand the fundamentals of OHS, gain awareness of legal requirements under the Occupational Health and Safety Act (Act 85 of 1993), identify, assess and control workplace hazards and risks, and understand the principles of incident prevention and investigation. Delegates should also be able to promote a safety culture, apply advanced OHS management principles, develop and maintain Health and Safety Management Systems (HSMS), conduct detailed Hazard Identification and Risk Assessments (HIRA), and improve organisational safety performance and compliance. Bidders must submit a proposal covering training content on Health and Safety Management Systems, the Legal Framework, HIRA, Incident Investigation and Analysis, Occupational Health and Hygiene, Environmental Management, Safety Management Practices, and Risk Control and Mitigation.

To be considered, bidders must be able to deliver training online via Microsoft Teams and must demonstrate accreditation with recognised bodies, with course content aligned to relevant standards (for example NOSA, NEBOSH or other accredited institutions). Bidders must also be registered on the Central Supplier Database (CSD), and submit SBD1, SBD4, a valid Tax Clearance Certificate or PIN, a valid B-BBEE certificate or EME/QSE affidavit, and an SBD6.1 Preference Point Claim Form. Evaluation is staged: compliance, mandatory criteria, then functional evaluation with a minimum threshold of 70 out of 100 points. Functional scoring covers training methodology and materials (35 points), facilitator experience and qualifications, where 5 to 8 years of Health and Safety experience with verifiable credentials scores highest (35 points), and three or more contactable references for similar SAMTRAC or OHS training (30 points). Price and specific goals are then assessed under the 80/20 preference point system, with 20 points allocated to B-BBEE specific goals. Quotations remain valid for 60 days and close on 13 November 2026 at 11:00. Enquiries may be directed to Simphiwe Yende at SimphiweY@ppecb.com.
