TRANSNET requires a once-off service for the removal of debris from dredged material at the port of cape town. Bidders must submit a completed pricing schedule and all required forms by 06 november 2026 at 14:00. The contract will be awarded on an 80/20 price and b-bbee points system, with specific goals for b-bbee levels and black youth owned entities. The most consequential consideration is that failure to submit the mandatory pricing schedule or essential returnable documents will result in disqualification.
Closing: 06 November 2026 at 14:00; submit via bid box at the street address in SBD 1 (address not provided in the document).
Mandatory returnable: completed pricing schedule – failure to submit leads to disqualification.
Essential returnable forms: SBD 1, RFQ Declaration and Breach of Law Form, and Protection of Personal Information consent – failure may lead to disqualification.
Tax compliance: submit a SARS TCS PIN or CSD number; each JV/consortium/sub-contractor party must provide its own.
B-BBEE evidence: valid B-BBEE certificate, sworn affidavit, or CIPC certificate (consolidated scorecard for JVs) to claim points; Level 1 = 15 points, Level 2 = 10 points, 51% Black Youth Owned = 5 points, Level 3–8 or non-compliant = 0 points.
Bids must remain valid for 60 business days from closing date; Transnet may request an extension.
Disqualification risks: bids from persons in the service of the state, or from entities listed on the Register for Tender Defaulters or Restricted Suppliers, will not be considered; failure to disclose relationships with Transnet or DPIP/FPPO status may lead to disqualification.
