Supply and delivery of fresh meat products to the Food Services Department at Tygerberg Hospital, Western Cape, for a two-year contract from 1 March 2027 to 28 February 2029. Bids close 3 December 2026 and must include pricing on the WCBD 3.1 schedule.
Tygerberg Hospital, a public healthcare facility in the Western Cape, is inviting open bids for the supply and delivery of fresh meat products to its Food Services Department. The contract covers a two-year period, effective 1 March 2027 until 28 February 2029. The tender is listed under Perishable Provisions and was published on 3 November 2026, with a closing date of 3 December 2026. The bid pack includes a bid document, a WCBD 3.1 pricing schedule, and a supporting product and pricing workbook for fresh meat products covering 2027 to 2028. Because the full document text could not be extracted for this summary, bidders should confirm the detailed product specifications, quantities, delivery schedules, and evaluation criteria directly in the official bid documents.
The work involves regular supply and delivery of fresh meat to the hospital's kitchens, which prepare meals for patients and staff. Fresh meat is a perishable product, so suppliers should be able to meet food safety and hygiene requirements and maintain cold-chain integrity from dispatch to delivery. Hospital food services operate to strict standards, so reliable delivery timing, consistent product quality, and accurate invoicing are important. Bidders should expect to provide pricing in the format set out in the WCBD 3.1 schedule, which is standard for Western Cape government procurement. Pricing is typically assessed against the evaluation criteria in the bid document, so bidders should review those criteria before submitting.
For suppliers, the main benefit is a two-year, fixed-term contract with a public healthcare institution. This gives predictable, recurring volume and a stable income stream for successful bidders. Businesses interested in this tender should confirm that they can meet the product specifications, delivery requirements, and compliance obligations, and that they hold any required food handling or meat trade certifications. Interested suppliers should also check standard South African requirements, such as tax compliance, B-BBEE status, and company registration, which are normally required for public sector bids. Clarification questions should be submitted within the period stated in the bid documents, and bids must be received by the closing date of 3 December 2026.
This tender suits registered meat wholesalers, meat distributors, and food suppliers with refrigerated delivery capacity and the ability to supply large institutional kitchens in the Cape Town and Western Cape area. Businesses with food safety certification, cold-chain logistics, and experience supplying hospitals, schools, or other public institutions are especially well placed. Applicants should be able to meet standard South African public procurement requirements, including tax compliance, company registration, and B-BBEE status. Businesses should verify the detailed specifications and delivery requirements in the bid document before deciding whether to bid.
