Qualified inference
Inference only
An award confirms appointment. It does not prove why a supplier was selected, that every qualification remains current, or that delivery was completed successfully.
Bid-ready summary. The submission guidelines, evaluation criteria, technical, financial, and compliance sections are refined into professional, easy-to-scan prose. This is the final version you can rely on when preparing your bid or briefing your team.
We refine every tender document through these stages so you can brief your team and prepare your bid with confidence. Anything marked as "in progress" will be upgraded automatically — no action required from you.
Submit all returnable annexures listed in the RFB (Annexures A–M). Mandatory annexures: A (CHS Agent registration), F (Price Schedule), and any other marked as mandatory; failure to submit a mandatory document results in disqualification.
Attendance at the compulsory briefing session is required; TCTA will check the attendance register and will disqualify bidders who did not attend.
All returnables must be submitted regardless of whether they are marked mandatory or non‑mandatory; non‑mandatory documents that are linked to functional criteria will receive zero points if omitted.
Bidders must complete the annexures in the prescribed format and submit them by the closing date. Incomplete annexures may be requested; failure to provide them within 5 working days may lead to disqualification.
Submissions are to be sent to the address/email specified on the front page of the RFB ([email protected]). No other contact points may be used for submission.
Any fraudulent information, blacklisted status, or conflict of interest (e.g., directors employed by organ of state without proper clearance) will result in immediate disqualification.
Functional capacity is scored out of 100 points across Company Experience (max 20), Personnel Experience (max 30), and other functional criteria. Minimum threshold: 67.5 points; bidders below this are disqualified.
Specific goals (black ownership and skills development) are scored out of 20 points (black ownership up to 16 points, skills development up to 4 points). B‑BBEE points are awarded based on a consolidated certificate for JVs/consortia.
Price is weighted at 80% of the total score. For bids below R50 million, price points are calculated using the formula: Ps = 80 × (1 – (Pt – Pmin) / Pmin). Prices must be firm, in Rands, inclusive of VAT and disbursements.
Overall bidder score = Specific Goals (20) + Price (80). The 80/20 preference point system applies.
Bidders not meeting the functional threshold or failing to submit mandatory documents are disqualified before price evaluation.
Scope: Appointment of a Construction Health and Safety Agent (CHSA) for the Umkhomazi Water Project tunnel system (96‑month contract).
Deliverables include:
Project baseline risk assessments.
Site‑specific health and safety specifications.
Design risk reports and hazard identification.
Review of principal contractors’ competencies, resources, and H&S Management Plans.
Preparation and submission of Construction Work Permit applications to the Department of Labour.
Attendance at design/technical meetings and approval of H&S documents.
Investigation of significant incidents, monthly H&S audits (report to contractor within 7 days), and project close‑out reports.

Sub‑contracting: if awarded both Phase 1 and Dam infrastructure bids, at least 15% of contract value must be subcontracted to a Black Construction H&S company.
All services must comply with relevant legislation and TCTA requirements.
Proof of registration as a CHS Agent with SACPCMP (Annexure A – mandatory).
SANAS‑verified B‑BBEE certificate (Annexure D – mandatory for points; affidavit acceptable for EME/QSE).
Registration on the National Treasury Central Supplier Database (CSD) (Annexure J – non‑mandatory but required for points).
Submission of CV, proof of address, and CHSA registration certificate for the proposed skills‑development candidate (Annexure K).
No explicit tax clearance or CIPC documentation mentioned, but standard tender practice implies compliance with tax and company registration requirements.
Minimum B‑BBEE level: 9 (as stated).
The successful bid likely addressed this expectation, but the submitted evidence and evaluation reason are unavailable.
The linked award confirms appointment only, not the submitted qualification or reason for selection.
