Cleaning, Hygiene and Horticulture Services NEW

The Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA) has issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for the provision of cleaning, hygiene and horticulture services at its Braamfontein Yard Depot, which forms part of the South Gauteng Region. The contract is for a fixed period of six months. The tender falls under the Functional Services category, which includes cleaning and security services. Based on the tender title, the scope covers three main areas: general cleaning of the depot premises, hygiene services such as sanitation and washroom maintenance, and horticulture services such as grounds maintenance and landscaping. Detailed specifications, service frequencies, staffing requirements, equipment and consumables requirements, and evaluation criteria were not available in the extracted tender data. Interested bidders should review the full advert and RFQ documents ("Cleaning Advert.mhtml") before submitting a quotation.

As a short-term RFQ for a single depot, the tender is suited to service providers that can mobilise quickly and deliver consistent, site-based services in an operational rail environment. Because this is a rail yard, bidders should expect security, safety, and access-control requirements that apply to working depots, although these were not confirmed from the available data. Public sector procurement in South Africa typically requires bidders to be registered on the National Treasury Central Supplier Database (CSD), to hold a valid tax compliance status, and to provide B-BBEE documentation. Bidders should confirm these and any other mandatory requirements in the RFQ itself.

For PRASA, the contract provides a defined, time-bound way to maintain hygiene and presentable grounds at a key operational facility. For suppliers, it offers a direct government contract with a clear closing date of 18 November 2026, and an opportunity to build a track record with a major state-owned entity. Bidders should submit their quotations before the closing date and confirm all submission requirements, including any site visit or briefing sessions, which were not identified in the available information.
