Supply of Safety Protective Clothing

The Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (DFFE), through its Fisheries Management branch and the Marine Living Resources Fund (MLRF), is seeking a service provider to supply and deliver safety protective clothing. The request is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ0001311) and is classified under Supplies: Clothing, Textiles and Footwear. Protective clothing of this kind is typically required for staff who work in field, marine, or operational environments, where garments must protect against physical, weather-related, and workplace hazards.

The tender notice itself does not describe the specific items, quantities, sizing requirements, technical standards, or delivery locations. The supporting RFQ document (RFQ0001311.pdf) was published alongside the notice and contains the detailed specifications, but its content could not be extracted for this summary. Interested suppliers should download and review the full document before preparing a quotation. Particular attention should be paid to the item schedule, applicable South African National Standards (SANS) or occupational safety requirements, delivery timelines, pricing format, tax and compliance requirements, and the evaluation criteria.

For suppliers, this opportunity offers a direct route to supplying a national government department, which can support business growth and a track record of public sector work. The RFQ format indicates a relatively streamlined, price-based procurement process. Prospective bidders should confirm that all mandatory documents, including valid tax clearance and company registration details, are ready before the closing date of 11 November 2026, and should check the eTenders portal for any clarifications or amendments issued before closing.
