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.
Purpose: Procurement of polymeric chemicals for a three-year period to ensure uninterrupted supply to Amatola Water treatment plants. Background: Amatola Water is a state-owned utility mandated to provide water services in the Eastern Cape. The current flocculent contract expires on 15 July 2026, necessitating a new three-year contract. Objective: Appoint a qualified supplier for consignment stock-based supply of performance-tested polymeric chemicals. Key areas: innovation, high-quality service, and cost savings.
Closing date and time: 03 July 2026 at 11:00 AM. Compulsory bid clarification meeting: 19 June 2026 at 10:00 AM (online via Microsoft Teams). RSVP by 16:00 on 18 June 2026 to [email protected] and [email protected]. Bids remain valid for 120 days from the closing date.
Submit the original completed bid documents and all supporting documents in a sealed envelope or parcel. Endorse the envelope with the Bid Number (AW2025/26/13) and Bid Description. Deposit it in the Bid/Tender Box at the reception area of Amatola House, 6 Lancaster Road, Vincent, East London, before 03 July 2026 at 11:00 AM. No emailed submissions will be accepted. Late, incomplete, unsigned, or electronically submitted bids will be disqualified. All bids must remain valid for 120 days from the closing date. Required returnable documents: SBD 1 (Invitation to Bid), SBD 4 (Bidder’s Disclosure), SBD 6.1 (Preference Points Claim Form), SBD 3.1 (Pricing Schedule - Firm Prices), SBD 3.2 (Pricing Schedule – Non-Firm Prices), FORM A (Authority to Sign), and FORM B (Schedule of Previous Related Contracts). For joint ventures/consortia: submit a signed joint venture agreement, separate Tax Clearance Certificates for each member, and combined CSD registrations. All forms must be completed, signed, and stamped where applicable. Failure to comply will invalidate the bid.
Evaluation is conducted in three stages: Stage One (Mandatory Requirements), Stage Two (Capability Requirements), and Stage Three (Price and Preference). The Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act (PPPFA) 90/10 system applies: 90 points for price, 10 points for Specific Goals (HDI: 4, Black Women: 2, Black Youth: 2, People with Disability: 2). Price evaluation uses the formula: Ps = 90(1 - (Pt - Pmin)/Pmin), where Ps = points scored, Pt = bid price, Pmin = lowest acceptable bid price. Bids must meet all mandatory and capability requirements to progress. Amatola Water reserves the right to accept any tender or portion thereof and is not bound to accept the lowest bid. In case of tied scores, preference is given to the bidder with the highest Specific Goals points, or by drawing lots if all else is equal.
Scope: Supply, delivery, offloading, stock control, and performance assurance (Jar Test) of polymeric chemicals to Amatola Water treatment plants for three years. Key deliverables: uninterrupted supply to sites including Nahoon WTW, Laing WTW, Peddie WTW, Glenmore WTW, Sandile WTW, Debe WTW, Binfield WTW, and Masincedane WTW. Chemicals must produce drinking water complying with SANS 241 (final turbidity ≤ 1 NTU) and have 'Drinkwater Approval' (e.g., Department of Health or NSF Accreditation). Requirements: Quality Standard Systems (e.g., ISO 9000), certificate of analysis and 1L sample per batch, leak-proof containers, streaming current detector units installed within three months, monthly site visits by qualified technical staff (Class V Process Controller or equivalent), monthly reports to Area Managers, at least 3 certified training sessions per year, emergency drills at 4 main plants, and compatibility with existing Amatola Water equipment. Jar tests must determine best chemical performance (dosage within 12% of average raw water turbidity, ≤ 80% of NSF limit). Transport must comply with hazardous chemical safety requirements (OHS Act, SABS/SANS 10228, 10229, MSDS).
Jar tests: Determine best chemical performance and cost-effectiveness. Submit cost per NTU per Megalitre treated. Provide two chemical samples (one for high turbidity >200 NTU, one for normal turbidity ≤200 NTU). Chemicals must perform within 12% of average raw water turbidity dosage. Ideal dosage ≤80% of NSF limit (e.g., if NSF limit is 50 mg/l, dosage ≤40 mg/l to achieve ≤1.0 NTU). Non-compliant jar test results render bids non-responsive. Simulation for higher turbidity: use bentonite to raise raw water turbidity to ideal flocculent performance range. Dilution with clean water allowed if raw water turbidity exceeds 200 NTU. Submit signed certificate of analysis for jar test results. Amatola Water may request samples and call responsive bidders for joint jar tests.
Previous experience: Provide full details of three successfully completed contracts for polymeric chemicals (minimum 2 years each) within the last 10 years. Clients must be contactable institutions (National, Provincial, Local Government, Public Entities, State-Owned Entities, or Private Entities). Reference letters are not accepted; use FORM B1, B2, and B3 (completed, signed, and stamped). Company quality systems: Certified copy of ISO 9000 or equivalent Quality Management System (not older than 6 months). Product certification: Certified copy of NSF or 'Drinkwater Approval' (not older than 6 months). Key personnel: Minimum National Diploma in Analytical Chemistry or relevant water treatment qualification, or Class V Process Controller/PrPC Certificate. Provide detailed CVs and certified copies of qualifications (not older than 6 months). Drivers must have dangerous goods certificates. Emergency Response Plan: Submit a plan for spills, accidents, and emergencies during transportation or off-loading.
Requirements: Quality Standard Systems (e.g., ISO 9000) and 'Drinkwater Approval' (e.g., Department of Health or NSF Accreditation).
