The department of public works and infrastructure requires a 36-month term contract for the maintenance, repair and servicing of hot water systems, including heat pumps, across gqeberha (port elizabeth) and surrounding areas in the eastern cape. The successful bidder must be CIDB registered at grade 3 me or higher, provide at least three contactable references for projects of r450,000 or more in this field, and field a team of three refrigeration/air-conditioning technicians, one millwright and one electrician, all trade-tested. Bids are evaluated on the 80/20 preference system with 20 points for specific goals, but every bid must first pass an equal-weight risk assessment covering experience, performance, human resources, briefing attendance and financial standing. The most consequential consideration is that the department may pass over the highest scorer across this bid and two sister contracts (east london and queenstown) to spread risk, so a bidder cannot assume that topping the points table secures the award.
