Suppliers Expression of Interest Form

Welcome to the Gender Links (GL) Supplier data base! All suppliers of goods and services to GL must register on this database for their services to be considered.  An open call will go out each year. The window for the current call is Friday 28th of March to  Friday  4th  of April 2025. GL will evaluate bids based on:

• Competence for the job
• Experience
• Track record and references
• Price

Where the goods or services required are recurrent, GL will enter into Service Level Agreement with successful bidders. GL will pay for services upon successful delivery of the agreed goods or services against a job card for that particular task, at the agreed, market tested rate. Where the goods or services required are once off, GL will enter into specific contracts for the supply of these goods and services at the agreed rates. GL shall maintain a list of prospective suppliers and utilise those most suited to the services required at the most cost effective rate. SLA’s are valid for one year and must be tested against the market through the annual call for suppliers before such contracts are renewed. Suppliers who have not registered on this database cannot be considered for the supply of any goods or services.

You will be asked at the outset if you are registering as an individual or a company. The form is in four parts for both categories:

1. Administrative information
2. Track record and references 
3. Prices against the goods and services that you supply.
4. Feedback

Below is a summary of the types of goods and services required. You may click on each link to see the sub-categories. Please note that you will be asked to provide your rate per unit. All rates must be expressed in rands. GL takes no responsibility for rates expressed in other currencies that are evaluated against those correctly quoted in our currency of operation which is in Rands.  All quotes must be exclusive of any travel or logistic costs which would either be paid directly or reimbursed as per GL financial policies, depending on the final contract agreed.
