Who buys here
How organs of state buy food and catering
Hospitals, correctional centres, schools and departments buy food, groceries and catering by tender or request for quotation. The National School Nutrition Programme runs through provincial education departments. Food premises need a certificate of acceptability under regulation R638 of 2018, and catering notices fix menus, portions and delivery times.
Organs of state buy under section 217 of the Constitution and either the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA), for departments and public entities, or the Municipal Finance Management Act (MFMA), for municipalities. The Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act and its 2022 regulations add 80/20 or 90/10 preference points for the specific goals each tender names. Bidders need Central Supplier Database (CSD) registration, a tax compliance status confirmed by SARS and, to claim B-BBEE points, a certificate or sworn affidavit. Missing a compulsory briefing session disqualifies a bid.
