Johannesburg water requires the supply and delivery of chemical oxygen demand reagent vials to its cydna laboratory: 25 boxes of low-range vials (0–150 mg/l o2) and 25 boxes of medium/high-range vials (0–1500 mg/l o2), each box containing 150 vials, giving 3,750 vials per line item. Quotations are evaluated on the 80/20 preference point system, with 80 points for price and 20 points for the specific goal of a business owned by 51% or more black people. The most consequential requirement is that a manufacturer datasheet and manufacturer names must accompany the quotation for every item, as failure to provide the datasheet results in disqualification.
Closing: quotations must be submitted via the National Treasury E-tender Portal by 12 November 2026 at 12:00; late submissions are not accepted.
Datasheet disqualification: a manufacturer datasheet and manufacturer names are required for all items — failure to provide the datasheet results in disqualification.
Quantities and specification: 25 boxes of low-range COD vials (0–150 mg/L O2) and 25 boxes of medium/high-range COD vials (0–1500 mg/L O2), each box of 150 vials (3,750 vials per line item); brand names must be stated.
Preference points: 80/20 system — 80 points for price and 20 points for a business owned by 51% or more Black people, verified by a SANAS-accredited B-BBEE certificate, a DTI/CIPC EME certificate or a compliant sworn affidavit (a non-compliant affidavit scores zero).
Compulsory returnables: valid tax clearance or SARS PIN, B-BBEE certificate/affidavit, CSD registration/MAAA number, company registration with directors' and shareholders' IDs, municipal account or lease agreement not older than 3 months, and completed MBD 4, MBD 8, MBD 9 and MBD 6.1.
Eligibility exclusions: no quotation from a person in the service of the state, and no bidder blacklisted by National Treasury or any national authority for non-performance.
Format: PDF only on company letterhead (MS Word, Excel and pictures not allowed); prices quoted excluding VAT with the total inclusive of all applicable taxes; quotation validity 60 days; sample units may be requested before an order is placed.
