Bids close at 11:00 on 26 november 2026 and must be deposited in the nelspruit tender box, as NO electronic, faxed, telegraphic or telephonic submissions are accepted. Attendance at the compulsory clarification meeting at emakhazeni local municipality on 11 november 2026 at 13:00 is required, and bidders must score at least 60 of 100 on functionality before price is considered. The most consequential consideration is the 80/20 preference system, in which 20 points depend on documented specific goals, including 3 points reserved for enterprises located in nkangala district.
CIDB grading — bidders must be registered at 3CE or higher; in a joint venture every member must be CIDB registered, the lead partner must be no lower than one level below 3CE and the combined JV grading must meet 3CE.
Compulsory clarification meeting — 11 November 2026 at 13:00 at Emakhazeni Local Municipality, 25 Scheepers Street, Emakhazeni; the attendance list must be signed in the name of the tendering entity, and non-attendance disqualifies the bid.
Closing and submission — 26 November 2026 at 11:00, tender box only, Department of Land Reform and Rural Development, 17 Van Rensburg Street, Bateleur Building, 6th Floor Block E, Nelspruit 1200; late, emailed, faxed or telegraphic bids are rejected and the tender offer must remain valid for 90 days.
Functionality threshold — minimum 60 of 100, scored as relevant borehole drilling and equipping experience 40 points (at least one project of R250 000 or more completed in the past 9 years, with appointment letters, completion certificates and Form S), plant and equipment 20 points (drill rigs with proof of ownership or hire letter), geohydrologist 20 points (Pr.Scientist SACNASP, NQF Level 6 or higher, 4 to 5 years post-qualification experience), foreman 10 points and OHS officer 10 points (NQF Level 6 health and safety qualification with 5 years experience).
Preference points — 80/20 system: 80 points for price and 20 for specific goals, allocated as HDI 8, female 5, disability 2, youth aged 35 or younger on the closing date 2, and locality in Nkangala District 3; each claim needs supporting proof such as ID and company registration, a doctor's letter for disability, or a municipal account, lease agreement or signed ward councillor letter for locality. No minimum B-BBEE level is stated.
Compliance documents — CSD registration, valid SARS tax compliance status (TCS or PIN) with separate proof from each JV partner or subcontractor, COIDA letter of good standing for building construction, a completed and signed Form of Offer, and proof of authority to sign (board, member or partnership resolution, or three letters of authority for a joint venture); a non-compliant tax status must be corrected within 7 days or the bid may be disqualified.
Pricing, guarantees and local labour — pricing is by Bills of Quantities; correction fluid such as Tipp-Ex on any price invalidates the bid, so alterations must be crossed out in ink and initialled; the contractor carries contract works insurance to the tender amount including VAT and public liability of R2 000 000, plus performance and retention guarantees; at least 80% of unskilled labour must be local and 40% of skilled labour allocated to NARYSEC youth where available.
