Summary of the contracting process

The Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP), based in Banbury, United Kingdom, has initiated a tender titled "Ballmer South Africa In-country Technical and Strategy Consultancy Services" aimed at strengthening South Africa's food loss and waste strategy. This contract amendment process involves converting the total value from GBP to ZAR, reflecting local currency needs. The procurement process follows a limited competition method under the sub-central government's public authority classification, with key amendments published on 16th March 2026. The contract period began on 11th March 2026, amending prior terms, while maintaining all other conditions unchanged.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in environmental management services, particularly those with expertise in strategic consultancy and food waste reduction initiatives. The project is ideally suited for firms capable of engaging and collaborating with key stakeholders, including the local delivery partner, the Consumer Goods Council Services in South Africa. Companies that offer strategic oversight, coordination, and possess deep knowledge of the South African food system, food loss and waste drivers, and establishment with local partner entities would be well-positioned to compete. The contract also recognises the importance of existing expertise, aiming to prevent additional costs and delays in mobilisation by extending the role of current specialists, particularly those already embedded in the local delivery framework.

The new GMH project: Focuses on preventing and reducing food waste Requires business engagement and buy-in Is delivered through the same South African ood Loss and Waste Initiative Uses the same local delivery partner, CGCSA Requires strategic oversight, coordination, and impact assurance This is not additional unrelated work; it is a new funding stream for the same strategic mission. The Impact Lead's function naturally extends to it. Nicola already has deep knowledge of: The South African food system Food loss and waste drivers The Food Pact structure The local partner's capacity and constraints Established trust with: The local delivery partner Food Pact stakeholders International partners Replacing or duplicating this role would increase cost, delay mobilisation & increase delivery risk. The GMH proposal itself already recognises the Impact Lead role in the cost outline so we are not creating a new position, just assigning it to the existing contracted specialist.",
