Appointment of an experienced tax expert to provide independent PAYE advisory on fringe benefits on an as-and-when-required basis for 12 months. Bidders must meet strict POPIA and information security requirements for handling confidential data.
The Road Accident Fund (RAF) is seeking to appoint an experienced tax expert to provide independent tax advisory services relating to Pay As You Earn (PAYE) on fringe benefits. The services are required on an as-and-when-required basis for a period of twelve (12) months, meaning the successful bidder will be engaged on a call-off basis as specific advisory needs arise rather than under a fixed scope of continuous work. The advisory is expected to be independent, giving the RAF objective guidance on the treatment of fringe benefits for PAYE purposes and supporting its compliance with South African tax legislation.
Because the appointed service provider will be entrusted with RAF confidential files, data and documents, the tender includes a detailed Technical and Organisational Security Measures annexure. Service providers must have policies and procedures in place that comply with RAF requirements and the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), 4 of 2013. Key requirements include secure document handling and transport in lockable containers, documented record keeping and retrieval logs, controlled and monitored physical access to premises and records, and fire protection for stored documents. On the digital side, bidders must demonstrate cybersecurity controls such as encryption of data in transit and at rest, strong authentication, need-to-know access, firewalls, intrusion detection, and regular patching. Service providers must also maintain a documented incident response plan, report security incidents or data breaches to the RAF promptly, and ensure that any subcontractors or third parties meet the same standards. The RAF reserves the right to screen directors and resources, audit compliance, and require data protection agreements with third-party providers.
The tender is published under the reference PR10118654, with a published date of 2 November 2026 and a closing date of 11 November 2026. Supporting documents include the RFQ document, a CV template for proposed resources, a bidders' client reference template, the security measures annexure, and standard bidding forms, including SBD 6.1 on preferential procurement in terms of the Preferential Procurement Regulations 2022 and the revised SBD 4 declaration of interest. Interested parties should review the full RFQ and all attachments carefully to confirm eligibility, evaluation criteria, and submission requirements before the closing date.
This tender is suited to registered tax practices, accounting firms, and independent tax consultants or experts with proven experience in PAYE, fringe benefit taxation, and South African employment tax legislation. Bidders should be able to show relevant client references, qualified and experienced resources (supported by CVs), and the ability to meet the security and POPIA requirements, including secure handling of confidential data, cybersecurity controls, and willingness to be audited and screened. Businesses offering only general bookkeeping or payroll administration, without specialist tax advisory capability, are unlikely to be a good fit. Small and medium enterprises may also apply if they meet the stated requirements, and should review the preferential procurement forms (SBD 6.1) to understand any B-BBEE benefits that apply.
