Appointment of a service provider to conduct a travel and tourism environmental scan to support the review of the National Tourism Stakeholder Strategy (NTSS). A virtual technical briefing is held on 22 October 2026 and the RFQ closes on 9 November 2026.
This Request for Quotation (RFQ 147/2026) seeks a service provider to conduct a travel and tourism environmental scan as an evidence base for the review of the National Tourism Stakeholder Strategy (NTSS). The NTSS guides how government and stakeholders in the South African tourism sector coordinate their efforts, so the environmental scan is intended to assess the current operating context and inform the strategy's update. The exact methodology, deliverables, and reporting requirements are set out in the RFQ document (NB147.2026), which should be reviewed in full before submitting a quotation.
The tender was published on 16 October 2026 and remains in draft status, with a closing date of 9 November 2026. Interested bidders were invited to a virtual technical briefing on the RFQ, held via Microsoft Teams on Thursday, 22 October 2026 from 10:00 to 13:00, chaired by the Director: Strategy Development. The agenda covered the technical briefing on the RFQ, guidelines for submission led by the Supply Chain Management directorate, and an engagement session with attendees. Bidders should confirm their submission requirements against these guidelines and the supporting documents.
Submissions must include the completed SBD 4 declaration (Revised, August 2026), and EMEs and QSEs must provide the sworn affidavit confirming their enterprise status, as required for preference point claims under the Preferential Procurement framework. Environmental scans of this kind typically examine political, economic, social, technological, environmental, and legal factors affecting a sector, and the successful provider's work is expected to give the department a credible, evidence-based foundation for the NTSS review. Bidders should verify the detailed scope, timelines, and mandatory compliance requirements in the RFQ itself.
Research, policy, and strategy consultancies with experience in tourism, hospitality, or the broader travel sector, particularly those able to conduct environmental or situational analysis and produce structured, evidence-based reports for government clients. Businesses that attended or can review the 22 October 2026 briefing materials are better placed to meet the submission guidelines. EMEs and QSEs are eligible to apply and should prepare the sworn affidavit, as the tender includes a template for this purpose. Bidders should confirm standard compliance requirements, such as CSD registration and tax compliance, in the full RFQ document.
