CMED is re-tendering a three-year groceries and cleaning framework — 84 unit-rate lines from beef, chicken and mealie meal to Domestos, Cobra and latex gloves. Bids close 1 October 2026 at 23:00 CAT.
A three-year framework for groceries and other provisions for the Central Mechanical and Equipment Department at its head office. The reference is marked RETENDER.
This is a canteen supply rather than an office tea list. The food lines cover beef, chicken, sausages, eggs, bread, fresh milk, margarine, rice, mealie meal, cooking oil, salt, sugar, jam and baked beans; fresh produce in tomatoes, onions, cabbages, potatoes, butternut, leafy vegetables, green beans, peas, carrots and sugar beans fresh and sundried; soup thickeners in powder, stock, corn flour and plain flour; and drinks in Mazoe, Milo, mineral water, canned and bottled soft drinks and assorted fruit juice.
The cleaning lines cover Jade bath soap, green washing bar, Domestos, Handy Andy, Sunlight liquid, Cobra, pine gel, tile cleaner, scouring powder, acid pull, window cleaner, insect killer, wood polish, dashboard spray, channel blocks, bin liners, latex gloves and face masks.
Every line is quantity 1 — a unit rate card. The published list is truncated with 23 further lines. Bid validity is 60 days. The full tender document was not available to us — only the notice fields above were published where we can read them. Download it from the eGP portal before quoting.

Watch out for
Every line is quantity 1, so this is a rate card and the volumes behind it are not published.
The published schedule is truncated with 23 further lines not shown.
Fresh meat, milk, bread and produce over a three-year framework need a cold chain and frequent delivery; the call-off pattern is not stated.
Scouring powder and tile cleaner each appear twice on the visible schedule.
Your rates are exposed for three years.

The board is read from the publisher twice every working day. A tender plan tells you about a tender like this within minutes of publication, and reminds you before it closes.
