The Cape Winelands District Municipality seeks to procure ration packs intended for use by emergency personnel during extended operational deployments.

The successful bidder will be responsible for delivering these packs within a 48-hour timeframe upon request, ensuring that all products are individually packed in resealable bags suitable for field operations.
The tender emphasizes the importance of quality and reliability, as damaged or expired items must be replaced at no cost to the municipality.

This contract not only provides a critical service to the municipality but also supports local businesses by promoting procurement from suppliers within the Cape Winelands District and the Western Cape Province, thereby enhancing local economic development.
This tender is suitable for food suppliers, logistics companies, and businesses specializing in emergency service provisions, particularly those with experience in supplying packaged food products and the ability to meet strict delivery timelines.
