Prison catering bids open following Bosasa's liquidation

The Department of Correctional Services says the in-sourcing of food services for inmates at correctional centres had opened doors for local businesses to supply perishable and non-perishable items. This opportunity comes against the backdrop of 26 correctional centre kitchens in seven management areas providing nutrition through internal means.

The department needs to enter new catering contracts as controversial facilities management company Bosasa’s contract will end soon. This after testimony at the Zondo Commission of Inquiry into State Capture revealed corruption at high levels. “A concerted effort is being made to boost small businesses who generally battle to attract customers and maintain profitability, which often hinges on access to markets.”
