Emergency Services for One-Day Event

The Road Accident Fund (RAF) has issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ), reference PR10119031, to appoint a suitable service provider for emergency services on 31 October 2026 at the Jack Botes Hall in Polokwane, Limpopo. The tender is classified under human health activities, which suggests the requirement relates to emergency medical or first-aid cover for an event. The supporting documents include an RFQ document, an SBD 4 bidder's declaration, an SBD 6.1 preferential procurement form under PPR 2022, and Annexure A on security measures. The document contents could not be extracted, so the exact service specifications, staffing levels, equipment, response times and evaluation criteria are not confirmed here. Prospective bidders should read the RFQ document and Annexure A in full before deciding whether to bid.

The procurement falls under the Preferential Procurement Regulations 2022. Bidders will therefore need to complete SBD 6.1 and state their B-BBEE status, and points will be awarded on the basis of price and preference. Because the service is tied to a single date and venue, the RAF will probably expect a clearly defined service plan, qualified emergency personnel, appropriate medical equipment and compliance with any security protocols in Annexure A. Bidders should also confirm their tax compliance status and CSD registration, as these are standard requirements for South African government quotations.

The contract is limited to one event, so it suits providers that can mobilise quickly and deliver a short, well-controlled service. For the RAF, appointing a qualified provider helps manage health and safety risks at a public event, and it gives an accountable point of contact for emergencies. Interested bidders should check the closing date and the status of the listing, which currently reads as draft, and confirm the tender is open before preparing a submission.
