National supply and delivery of latex gloves for the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (DFFEQ 250). Bidders must complete mandatory declaration and preference forms. Evaluation is 80% price and 20% specific goals. Closes 29 October 2026.
The National Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (DFFEQ) has issued a tender for the supply and delivery of latex gloves under reference DFFEQ 250 LATEX GLOVES. The tender is published as a draft on eTenders, with a published date of 22 October 2026 and a closing date of 29 October 2026. The supporting document provided is the standard bidding pack, which includes the SBD4 Declaration of Interest and the SBD6.1 Preference Points Claim Form. The document does not state item quantities, glove specifications (such as grade, thickness, powder-free or powdered status, size range, or certification standards), packaging requirements, delivery locations, contract duration, or pricing structure. Prospective bidders should therefore obtain the full specification and bid conditions from the issuing department before submitting a response. Note also that the eTenders category is listed as "Services: General", although the tender concerns the supply of goods. Bidders should confirm the classification with the department if this affects their eligibility or registration.
The evaluation method is the 80/20 preference point system, which applies to requirements up to R50 million including taxes. A maximum of 80 points is allocated to price, calculated against the lowest acceptable tender. A maximum of 20 points is allocated to specific goals, with 20 points each available for enterprises that are more than 50% owned by Black people, by women, or by people with disabilities. Points for specific goals are claimed only if the bidder completes the SBD6.1 form and submits the required supporting documentation. Failure to submit proof means no preference points will be awarded. Bidders must also complete the SBD4 declaration, which covers state employment, relationships with procuring officials, related enterprises, and independent bidding. False declarations can lead to disqualification, restriction from public sector business for up to ten years, and referral for criminal investigation. Companies on the Register for Tender Defaulters or the List of Restricted Suppliers are automatically disqualified.
The bidding window is short, with only about one week between publication and closing. Interested suppliers should act promptly to confirm their eligibility, including active registration on the National Treasury Central Supplier Database (CSD), valid tax compliance status, and availability of the documents needed to support any preference claims. Suppliers who already hold stock or distribution agreements for medical or personal protective equipment, particularly latex examination and industrial gloves, are likely to be well placed to respond. Successful delivery of this contract would give the awarded supplier a dependable public sector customer and experience in government procurement.
This tender suits suppliers, distributors, and importers of latex gloves, examination gloves, and other PPE or medical consumables that can meet the required specifications and deliver nationally. Businesses that are more than 50% owned by Black people, women, or people with disabilities can benefit from the specific goals scoring of up to 20 points, provided they submit the SBD6.1 form and supporting proof. All bidders must be registered on the CSD, be tax compliant, and not be on any restricted or defaulter list. Companies without experience supplying PPE or without the capacity to deliver within the required timeframes should review the full specification before bidding.
