National Empowerment Fund Tenders & RFQ's

The national empowerment fund (NEF) invites bids for the provision, installation and fitting of office furniture at its premises, covering the ground floor west wing (new open-plan workstations, desktop privacy/acoustic screens, desk screens with a fabric-based option, desks with plug points) and the first floor east wing, including kitchens and dining areas to be equipped with sitting/eating furniture. Bids must be submitted in english, in pdf format, by email to [email protected] NO later than 14h00 on 30 september 2026. Late bids will not be considered. The successful bidder will be required to sign a written contract form (sbd 7). The applicable preference point system is the 80/20 system: 80 points for price and 20 points for specific goals. Bidders must be registered on the central supplier database (csd) and submit a valid SARS tax compliance status (tcs) pin or csd number. A minimum of three references with contact details must be included, along with copies of qualifications, ids and cvs of personnel who will execute the bid. Bidders must also submit a valid tax status pin document; failure to do so renders the bid invalid. Bidders must prepare for a possible presentation if the NEF requires one. Prices must be firm and cover all work/items specified; non-firm prices will not be considered. The bidder's response and the RFP will form part of any service level agreement concluded. Bidders consent to the use of their personal information as part of the bid process. The evaluation includes a technical phase (phase 3) where bidders must score a minimum of 35 points to proceed, and a phase 4 preference point evaluation. The technical evaluation covers furniture specifications, capacity and capability of the service provider and team, and ergonomic considerations (total 50 points).
