Ergonomics Assessment Services

The Road Accident Fund (RAF) has issued a request for quotation (RFQ, reference PR10119245) to appoint a suitable service provider to conduct an ergonomics assessment at its Hatfield office. Ergonomics assessments typically evaluate how employees interact with their workstations, equipment, and work environment to identify physical strain, injury risks, and opportunities for improvement. Based on the tender title and category (Human health activities), the core deliverable is expected to be an assessment of workplace ergonomics, with findings and recommendations to support employee health, safety, and productivity. The detailed scope, deliverables, and evaluation criteria are contained in the RFQ document, which could not be extracted for this summary, so bidders should consult the full RFQ before responding.

The tender package includes several supporting documents: an Annexure A on security measures, which suggests that the service provider will need to comply with RAF security requirements for access to its premises and handling of information; the RFQ document itself; and standard bidding forms, including SBD 6.1 under the Preferential Procurement Regulations 2022, which governs preference points for B-BBEE status and related criteria, and the Standard Bidding Document (SBD 4) covering bidder declarations. The SBD 4 document is listed twice in the package, so bidders should verify they have the correct and complete version. Prospective bidders should check all mandatory returnable documents, pricing requirements, compliance and tax clearance obligations, and any site visit or briefing sessions specified in the RFQ.

The tender is time-sensitive: it was published on 5 November 2026 and closes on 11 November 2026, leaving a short window for preparation and submission. Bidders should register on the eTenders portal, download all documents, and submit quotations before the closing date. Early preparation is advisable, particularly for security vetting or clearance requirements that may affect site access. Successful delivery of this assessment could support RAF's workplace health and safety obligations and help reduce employee injury and absenteeism costs. Businesses should verify the full technical specifications, contract duration, and value in the RFQ before deciding to bid.
