Supply and Delivery of Stationery (36 Months)

The Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma Local Municipality, located in KwaZulu-Natal, has invited bids for the supply and delivery of stationery over a 36-month period. This is a re-advertised tender, which typically means an earlier invitation was cancelled, not awarded, or did not attract a suitable response. The tender reference (RE-ADVERT-CORP-B053/25/26) suggests the requirement sits within the municipality's corporate services function. The listing is currently marked as a draft, so the details may still change before the closing date of 25 November 2026.

The tender listing does not include a detailed scope. The supporting bid notice (dated 23 October 2026) could not be extracted, so the item list, estimated quantities, delivery locations and frequency, packaging requirements, pricing format, and evaluation criteria are unconfirmed. Suppliers should download and read the bid notice and any bid specification documents before deciding whether to bid. Pay particular attention to any requirements for sample submissions, site visits or briefing sessions, pricing schedules, and whether the contract is for a fixed price or a rate-based arrangement over the 36 months.

A 36-month contract can offer a stable, recurring revenue stream for a supplier that can meet the municipality's delivery and service standards. Bidders should also confirm standard South African public procurement requirements, which typically include a valid Central Supplier Database (CSD) registration, a current tax compliance status, a B-BBEE certificate or affidavit, and declarations of interest. Because the tender classification in the listing ('Other service activities') does not match the nature of the procurement (supply of goods), bidders should rely on the bid documents rather than the category label when assessing the requirement.
