Request for Proposals and quotations: SIOC-Community Development Trust

The Sishen Iron Ore Company-Community Development Trust (SIOC-CDT) was established in 2006 by SIOC (owned by Kumba Iron Ore) to invest in the development of the communities in which the mine operates. The trust focuses primarily on beneficiary communities adjacent to the SIOC mining activities in the Northern Cape and Limpopo provinces. SIOC-CDT has invested significantly in community development projects aimed at ensuring sustainability beyond mining operations.

SIOC-CDT invites all qualified and experienced service providers and entities operating in the health and wellness sector across SA to submit proposals and quotations for the following bids.

Note:

• These services are to be implemented within the Northern Cape beneficiary communities of Gamagara, Ga-Segonyana, Joe Morolong and Tsantsabane Local Municipalities, as well as Thabazimbi Local Municipality in Limpopo.
• SIOC-CDT welcomes proposals from service providers based both nationally and locally (the five SIOC-CDT beneficiary communities), however, it strongly encourages applicants, especially national organisations, to partner with local service providers, community-based organisations, and stakeholders to ensure local ownership, build capacity, and promote long-term sustainability of the interventions.
• The Request for Proposals (RFP) related to the Youth Programme is specifically reserved for service providers within the beneficiary communities only, to directly empower local organisations and young leaders at grassroots level.
• SIOC-CDT remains committed to supporting impactful, inclusive, and community-driven development that advances health and wellness in its beneficiary areas. It looks forward to receiving thoughtful, collaborative proposals that reflect both innovation and a deep understanding of local needs.
