APPOINTMENT OF SERVICE PROVIDER(S) INTO A FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT TO DEPLOY SECURITY GUARDS ON AN “AS AND WHEN” REQUIRED BASIS FOR A PERIOD OF THREE (03) YEARS, AT THE NORTHERN CAPE PROVINCE.

Sentech Limited has issued a tender to put a framework agreement in place for security guarding in the Northern Cape Province, to run for three years. Providers admitted to the framework would be engaged to supply guards when the need arises rather than under one fixed, continuous assignment, giving the issuer access to guarding capacity across the period. The procurement is classified as a services contract, and the notice indicates that more than one provider may be appointed. The material supplied does not state the number of providers sought, the value or estimated spend of the framework, the sites or facilities to be guarded, the number of guards required, or shift arrangements. It also says nothing about the qualifications, registrations or experience a bidder must hold, the documents a bid must contain, or the basis on which submissions will be assessed.
