This is a Request for Quotations (RFQ) from the City of Johannesburg for booking good services and placing media platforms for the Integrated Development Plan process awareness campaign. The closing date for submissions is 26 March 2026 at 10:30. All submissions must be deposited into the quotation box at Sappi Building Reception, 48 Ameshoff Street, Braamfontein, Johannesburg. A compulsory briefing session and site inspection will be held. Tenderers are reminded that all forms must be signed, or the RFQ will be disqualified. Various forms and documents are required, including company registration, tax clearance, BBEEE certificate, and declarations of interest and past practices. The evaluation will be based on an 80/20 point system, with points allocated for price and specific goals such as businesses owned by black people and enterprises located within the City of Johannesburg. The scope of work includes producing creatives, booking recording studios, radio advertising, newspaper adverts, and mobile trailers.
