REQUEST FOR QUOTE FOR THE LANDSCAPING AND LANDSIDE GARDENS FOR A PERIOD OF 12 MONTHS AT KING SHAKA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

The Airports Company of South Africa is seeking a supplier to look after the landscaped grounds and landside gardens at King Shaka International Airport, on a contract running for one year. The requirement sits in the transport sector and is classed as a service, so the winning party would be responsible for keeping planted and green areas on the landside, the ground outside the airport's security restricted zone, in condition across that period. The material supplied goes no further than this. It gives no indication of the extent of the grounds, how often attention is needed, what machinery or materials the contractor must bring, or how many staff would be deployed. It also carries no qualifying criteria, so nothing can be said about what a respondent would have to demonstrate or the documents it would have to lodge. What the notice does not say is anything about value, site conditions, expected outputs, or the basis on which responses will be judged.
