TMPD-3 tender

A tender for security services TMPD 016/2017 had expired but services continued being rendered by appointed or court-appointed providers, and a replacement tender TMPD-3 was cancelled later.

“It seems to be the case that that tender, TMPD for security services 016/2017, up to date ... would have expired. But up to date, there is continuation of rendering of those services by those appointed or court-appointed service providers. There has been no replacement tender. The attempt was TMPD-3, which was then later cancelled. Is that then the recollection? Yes, as far as I am aware, even though I am 10 months out of active service.”

The minutes signed for the 28 May 2025 BEC meeting recommended TMPD-3 tender, but there are no minutes for a meeting on 29 May 2025, indicating scoring likely happened on 28 May when Director Malatji was present.

“The signed minutes for the 28th of May 025, where the committee was recommending the tender TMPD-3 for the appointment of a service provider were provided to us ... So the issue here is there is no minutes of the 29th. And since the recommendation was made on the 28th, it seems likely that the scoring happened on the 28th and not the 29th. And on the 28th, you say you were there at the meeting.”
