Bidders must use the provided official forms without retyping. All alterations must be initialed, and the use of correcting fluid is prohibited. Bids must be complete in all respects.

The evaluation includes administrative and mandatory compliance checks (SBD 1, SBD 4, and Authority to Sign). The BMA reserves the right to request samples for testing, conduct presentations, perform site visits, and apply objective criteria.

The BMA seeks to establish a panel for the supply and delivery of firearms, ammunition, and accessories for three years. Required items include: 9mm pistols, 12-gauge pump-action shotguns, smoke and stun grenades, teargas (CS/CN/OC), 9mm magazines, ear protection, safety glasses, holsters, handcuffs with pouches, tactical pistol lanyards, various live/blank ammunition, and riot gear (shields, helmets, body suits, batons).

Remuneration will be in South African Rands on a fixed-price basis (inclusive of VAT). Payment is made within 30 days of an approved invoice. Disbursements are capped at 10% of the total amount and require pre-approval and original receipts.

Mandatory registration on the Central Supplier Database (CSD) is required; failure to be registered at the closing time will result in disqualification. Bidders must provide a valid Tax Compliance Status (TCS) PIN. B-BBEE status level verification certificates or sworn affidavits (for EMEs/QSEs) are required for preference points. Bidders must declare any state employment or relationships with BMA officials. Non-South African employees are prohibited unless vetted and authorized.
