APPOINTMENT OF A SERVICE PROVIDER TO DESIGN AND PLACE PERSONNEL RECRUITMENT ADVERTISEMENTS

Mossel Bay Municipality has issued an open tender for a service provider to create and place advertisements for staff recruitment. The work sits in the services category, so the successful bidder would be engaged to carry out a function for the municipality rather than to supply goods. Beyond that headline the material supplied is very thin: the fields identify the buyer, the tender type and the category, and little else. They do not say where the advertisements would appear, whether the coverage is print, online or both, which posts are involved, how long an appointment would last, or what budget is attached. Nothing is stated about the deliverables expected of the winner, the qualifications or experience a bidder must hold, or the documents a submission must contain. The notice does not say any of this.
