The Marine Living Resources Fund (DFFE) requests quotations for the supply and delivery of safety shoes and kidney back support belts as personal protective equipment. Suppliers of safety footwear, PPE, or workwear should review RFQ0001307, which closes 3 November 2026.
The Marine Living Resources Fund (MLRF), a public entity under the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (DFFE), is seeking a service provider to supply and deliver personal protective equipment (PPE) to its staff. The request covers two items: safety shoes and kidney back support belts. The procurement is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ) under reference RFQ0001307. It was published on 23 October 2026 and closes on 3 November 2026. The tender is currently listed with a status of draft, so interested suppliers should confirm its status on eTenders before submitting a quotation.
The scope of work is the procurement of these two PPE items and their delivery to the designated MLRF location. The supporting RFQ document (RFQ0001307.pdf) contains the detailed requirements, which could not be extracted for this summary. These typically include item specifications, quantities, sizing and colour requirements, safety standards, delivery timelines and conditions, pricing schedules, and the evaluation criteria. Prospective bidders should download and review the full document before submitting a quotation, paying particular attention to mandatory compliance requirements and any required forms.
Procurement of PPE supports the employer's obligations under occupational health and safety legislation, including the Occupational Health and Safety Act 85 of 1993, which requires employers to provide suitable protective equipment to employees where hazards exist. For suppliers, this opportunity offers a direct government contract for standard, recurring goods, which can lead to repeat business and a stronger track record for future public sector bids. Government RFQs of this kind are generally assessed under the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework, so bidders should confirm their registration on the Central Supplier Database (CSD), their tax compliance status, and their B-BBEE credentials before bidding.
This tender suits suppliers and distributors of safety footwear and PPE, including companies that supply protective clothing, workwear, and occupational health products such as back support belts. Businesses should be registered on the Central Supplier Database (CSD), hold valid tax compliance status, and have a B-BBEE certificate, as these are commonly required for South African government RFQs. Small and medium suppliers, including those that qualify for preferential procurement points, are encouraged to apply. Businesses that cannot supply both items, or that cannot meet the delivery requirements in the full RFQ document, should assess their eligibility carefully before quoting.
