APPOINTMENT OF A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE PROVISION OF CATERING FOR THE CAPE WINELANDS DISTRICT MUNICIPALITY’S 16 DAYS OF ACTIVISM LAUNCH

Cape Winelands District Municipality intends to appoint a service provider to handle catering at the launch of its 16 Days of Activism campaign. The appointment is advertised as a goods procurement, and catering is the only subject the notice names. Beyond that subject, the published material carries almost no detail about the event or about what a supplier would take on. The notice does not say where the launch will be held, how many people are expected, what food or drink must be supplied, or over what hours or days the service runs. It does not say whether serving staff, equipment, transport to the venue or cleaning form part of the job. It also does not state the qualifications or experience a bidder must hold, the documents a quotation must contain, or the criteria against which submissions will be assessed. Anyone interested has to collect the quotation documents to learn what is actually required.
