32 open tenders right now

What these tenders cover

Expect installation, maintenance and repair of intruder alarms and CCTV, biometric and card access control, electric fencing, armed response and off-site monitoring, plus fire and smoke detection. Some are once-off installs at one site; others are multi-year maintenance contracts across a region.

Why they are hard to find

eTenders files this work under security, electrical or building services depending on the buyer, so it is easy to miss. This page matches tender titles for alarms, CCTV, access control and the other systems listed above, wherever the tender was filed.

What buyers usually ask for

Installing or servicing security equipment is regulated work: buyers usually want proof of PSIRA registration for the company and its technicians. Electric fence work needs an electric fence system certificate, and larger installs may need a CIDB grading in the electrical class. Many specifications name specific brands or ask for compatibility with an existing system, so read them before you price.
