POPI Information Officer: Mr M.L Mahlangu (Municipal Manager), 013 249 2000/2006, [email protected].

Submission address: Bid box at Nkangala District Municipality, 2A Walter Sisulu Street, Middelburg, 1050.

Bids must be delivered to the bid box at Nkangala District Municipality, 2A Walter Sisulu Street, Middelburg, 1050, by 12:00 on 04 September 2026. Late bids will not be considered. Bids must be submitted on the official forms provided, not re-typed. The successful bidder must sign a written contract form (MBD7).

Compulsory returnable documents (Forms A to N) must be fully completed and signed; failure to do so renders the bid unresponsive. These include:

• Form A: Compulsory Enterprise Questionnaire (with special resolution for consortia/joint ventures)
• Form B: POPI Notice and Consent Form
• Form C: Declaration of Bidder's Past Supply Chain Management Practices (MBD8)
• Form D: Declaration of Interest (MBD4)
• Form E: Authority of Signatory
• Form F: Declaration of Good Standing Regarding Tax (MBD2)
• Form G: Financial References (bank letter not older than 3 months)
• Form H: Municipal Account (utility account not older than 3 months)
• Form I: Preference Schedule (MBD6.1)
• Form J: Certificate of Independent Bid Determination (MBD9)
• Form K: Declaration of Tenderer's Litigation History
• Form L: Proof of Membership with Professional Bodies
• Form M: Declaration of Procurement Above R10 Million (MBD5)
• Form N: Proof of Professional Indemnity

Returnables for evaluation purposes (Forms O to U) must also be submitted: project structure, proposed personnel, previous experience, current projects, infrastructure and resources, proposed sub-consultant, and record of addenda.

Signatures on each form are a declaration of accuracy; false information may be treated as wilful misrepresentation and lead to contract termination under condition 8.4.

Compulsory bid documents (Forms A-N) and evaluation returnables (Forms O-U) as listed in submission guidelines. All must be completed and signed; failure renders the bid unresponsive.

The 80/20 preference point system applies as the bid value does not exceed R50 million. Maximum points: 80 for price, 20 for specific goals.

Price points are calculated using the formula Ps = 80(1 - (Pt - Pmin)/Pmin), where Pt is the comparative price of the bid under consideration and Pmin is the comparative price of the lowest acceptable bid.

Specific goals and points (claimed via Form I, supported by proof):

• Historically Disadvantaged Individuals (HDI): 25% ownership, 5 points
• Women: 15% ownership, 3 points
• People with disabilities: 15% ownership, 3 points
• Youth: 15% ownership, 3 points
• Military veterans: 15% ownership, 3 points
• Local enterprises within Nkangala District Municipality boundaries: 15% ownership, 3 points

Proof of ownership via CSD full report is required; failure to submit proof results in zero points for that goal. The municipality may require substantiation of any preference claim before or after adjudication.

The municipality may verify professional membership of the firm and project personnel, vet qualifications of proposed personnel, and verify proof of previous company experience. Bidders must submit Form P (Proposed Personnel), Form Q (Schedule of Previous Experience), and Form R (Schedule of Current Projects).

Pricing is evaluated under the 80/20 preference system. Price points are calculated using the formula Ps = 80(1 - (Pt - Pmin)/Pmin). Bidders must complete the pricing schedule as part of the bid; the total bid price must be stated on the Invitation to Bid cover page.

Bidders must submit a bank confirmation letter not older than three months (Form G); failure renders the bid unresponsive. For joint ventures, banking details of all members must be provided.

Bidders must declare that they do not owe the municipality or any other municipality any municipal rates or service charges in arrears for more than three months (Form H). A false declaration leads to bid rejection.

The bid value is estimated not to exceed R50 million (all taxes included), so the 80/20 preference system applies.

Tax compliance: Bidders must submit a valid Tax Compliance Status (TCS) PIN or CSD number. Each party in a consortium/joint venture/sub-contractor arrangement must submit a separate TCS/PIN/CSD. Foreign suppliers must complete the pre-award questionnaire in Part B:3; if not resident, without a branch, permanent establishment, source of income, or tax liability in RSA, no TCS PIN is required.

CSD registration: Bidders must be registered on the Central Supplier Database; a full CSD report showing ownership is required to claim specific goals points.

Declaration of Interest (MBD4): No bids from persons in the service of the state; bidders must disclose any kinship or relationship with state officials involved in evaluation.

Past SCM practices (MBD8): Bids may be rejected if the bidder or directors have abused the SCM system, been convicted of fraud or corruption in the past five years, wilfully neglected a government contract, or are listed on the Register for Tender Defaulters.

Independent bid determination (MBD9): Certifies no collusion or price disclosure.

POPI consent (Form B): Consent to share information with CIPC, SARS, municipalities, financial institutions, Department of Labour, CIDB, professional bodies, and for vetting qualifications and experience.

Authority of Signatory (Form E): Must attach a resolution on company letterhead authorising the signatory.

Professional bodies: Proof of membership with relevant professional bodies (Form L) and professional indemnity (Form N) required.

Preference points under the 80/20 system: 20 points for specific goals. Goals: HDI (25% ownership, 5 points), Women (15%, 3 points), People with disabilities (15%, 3 points), Youth (15%, 3 points), Military veterans (15%, 3 points), Local enterprises within Nkangala District Municipality (15%, 3 points). Proof via CSD full report required; failure to submit proof results in zero points for that goal.

The successful bidder must sign a written contract form (MBD7). The contract is subject to the General Conditions of Contract (GCC) and any special conditions. If information provided in returnable documents is found incorrect, it may be treated as wilful misrepresentation, giving the employer the right to terminate the contract under condition 8.4.

Bidders must complete the Compulsory Enterprise Questionnaire (Form A) including a special resolution for consortia/joint ventures, with joint and several liability, 30 days written notice to terminate, and required attachments (CK1/CK2, certificate of incorporation, joint venture agreement, IDs, tax compliance status, authority of signatory, CSD full report).

Price points: Ps = 80(1 - (Pt - Pmin)/Pmin). Specific goals points as per Form I. Total maximum 100 points (80 price + 20 specific goals).
