• Primary contact (enquiries): R Mabaso, email [email protected].

• Telephone numbers are not provided in the document.

• Quotations must be dated, signed and printed on the supplier’s official letterhead.
• All prices must be VAT‑inclusive (if the supplier is not VAT‑registered, this must be clearly stated).
• Quotations are valid for a minimum of 60 days from the closing date.
• Required returnable documents: completed SBD 1, SBD 4, the RFQ with POPIA consent form and, if claiming preference points, the completed SBD 6.1 claim form with supporting proof.
• Suppliers must be registered on the Central Supplier Database (CSD) and have verified banking details.
• Disqualification triggers: submission after 13 Feb 2026 16:00, missing or incomplete forms, failure to provide proof for claimed preference points, employment of state officials or directors who are state employees, non‑compliance with tax or CSD registration, and failure to meet the VAT or validity requirements.

• Pre‑compliance check (mandatory documentation, CSD registration, tax compliance, etc.).
• Functional evaluation (if applicable) followed by a point‑scoring system:

– 80 points allocated to price (lowest price scores highest points).

– 20 points allocated to preferential procurement specific goals (HDI – race, women, disability; SMME; B‑BBEE; local procurement). Claims must be supported by the SBD 6.1 form and relevant proof.

• Total points = price points + preference points; the bidder with the highest total wins.
• Points are rounded to two decimal places.
• Preference points are awarded only when the required documentation is submitted; otherwise the 20 points are not claimed.
• The 80/20 system applies because the contract value is below R50 million.
