Catering tenders are service contracts to feed people at government sites — hospital and clinic patient meals, school nutrition programmes, staff canteens, training-centre and conference catering, and event catering for departments. They rarely need any construction registration, so the barrier is compliance paperwork plus health and food-safety requirements: a valid certificate of acceptability for your premises, and often proof of the kitchen capacity to deliver at the volumes stated. Contracts are frequently multi-year and site-bound, which favours local caterers over national ones.

How to bid on a catering tender

Whatever the buyer, the national rules apply first: you must be registered on the Central Supplier Database and be tax compliant with SARS before your bid is even looked at.
