Department Of Public Works Security Tenders
Department Of Public Works Security Tenders, Security is freedom from, or resilience against, potential harm (or other unwanted coercive change) from external forces. Beneficiaries (technically referents) of security may be persons and social groups, objects and institutions, ecosystems, and any other entity or phenomenon vulnerable to unwanted change by its environment. Tenders are invited for the Bid for the appointment of a Service Provider to provide Security Services for the Department.
A PRIVATE security company – run from a township community hall – has landed a tender worth nearly R1-million to guard a major government building occupied by the police in Cape Town.
Now the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) is probing how Eyamathongo Security Services got the contract despite allegedly not meeting basic tender requirements. In addition, the man running the company, Chris Njele, has yet to receive full accreditation from the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority (PSIRA).
Njele – who manages the firm, which is registered in the name of a relative, Letticia Mgqoboka – said the only other tender the company had won was to supply a single security guard for a construction company for six months. They informally guarded school properties as well.
