Ice Cream, Packaged Food & Retail Stock Supply

This request for quotation (RFQ OVF 2026-221 - ETH) seeks suppliers to supply and deliver ice cream, packaged food and retail trading stock for the eThekwini District Municipality area in KwaZulu-Natal. The RFQ was issued by the KZN Growth Fund Trust, a development finance organisation, and covers the procurement of consumable goods for resale or distribution within the eThekwini region. The published notice does not specify product lists, quantities, delivery schedules, pricing structures or contract duration, so interested suppliers should review the full RFQ document before preparing a quotation.

Because the document content could not be extracted, the specific requirements cannot be confirmed from the available information. The RFQ is listed under the category "Food and beverage service activities," although the scope described relates to the supply and delivery of goods rather than food service. Prospective bidders should therefore check the RFQ for the exact product specifications, cold-chain and storage requirements for ice cream, minimum quantities, delivery locations and timelines, and any packaging or labelling standards. Standard South African public procurement requirements, such as a valid Central Supplier Database (CSD) registration, tax compliance status, and B-BBEE certificate or affidavit, are typically applicable to RFQs of this kind, but should be confirmed against the document itself.

The publication date is 20 October 2026 and the closing date is 3 November 2026. The tender is currently marked as draft, so the status and details may change before the closing date. Businesses should monitor the eTenders listing for amendments, clarifications, or addenda. Suppliers that can demonstrate reliable cold-chain logistics, consistent stock availability, competitive pricing and local delivery capacity in the eThekwini area are well positioned to respond to a procurement of this nature.
