Catering Services for Education and Awareness Workshop NEW

The National Lotteries Commission (NLC), a public entity established under the Lotteries Act No. 57 of 1997, is seeking a catering service provider for a single education and awareness workshop in the Eastern Cape. The event takes place on 11 November 2026 at the Ncumisa Nkondlo Sports Centre in Peddie, with lunch scheduled for 12:00. No breakfast is required. The request is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ), and quotations close on 10 November 2026 at 12:00 by email. Quotations must remain valid for 60 days from the closing date.

The specification calls for a buffet-style lunch for approximately 100 delegates. Starch options include rice, dumpling, samp and pap, with two starches to be provided. Two meat options are required, such as roasted or grilled chicken and lamb or beef. Two vegetable dishes are required, such as beetroot and cabbage, spinach or morogo, prepared without cream. Two salads are also required, including chakalaka and potato salad. Beverages include bottled still water for 200 people, complying with South African National Bottled Water Association (SANBWA) standards, and a choice of 100% fruit juice or soft drinks, at one drink per person for 100 delegates. The service provider must bring its own cutlery, plates, tablecloths, cups and serviettes, deliver food on time, and remove all waste generated at the facility after the service using refuse bags. Bidders must submit the specification with them each day of service.

Mandatory requirements include completed SBD 4 forms, a fully priced quotation that meets the specification, and a valid proof of residence from a local municipality in the Eastern Cape. Bidders must be registered on the Central Supplier Database (CSD) and provide a CSD report, and must be tax compliant. Evaluation uses the 80/20 preference point system under the Preferential Procurement Regulations 2022, with 80 points for price and up to 20 points for specific goals such as black ownership, women ownership, youth ownership and disability ownership. Bidders should note that the tender documents contain some inconsistencies regarding submission email addresses and the expected service duration, so clarification should be requested through the stated contact channels before the closing date. No work may begin until a formal purchase order is issued.
