SANRAL requires routine road maintenance construction services across multiple national and regional routes in mpumalanga province, covering pavement, drainage, roadside, signage, vegetation, and emergency works. The contract is a single tender covering six project packages (X.002-190-2023/1, X.002-192-2023/1, X.002-201-2023/1 & N.017-034-2023/1, X.002-202-2023/1 & N.017-040-2023/1, X.002-242-2026/1, X.002-248-2026/1). bidders must be cidb-registered, csd-registered, tax compliant, and provide extensive plant, equipment, key personnel, and financial capacity evidence; the most consequential consideration is the mandatory compliance with all returnable forms and the 7.5% Available capital requirement.
Closing: 21 October 2026 at 12:00; submission method and address not stated in the document.
Mandatory compliance: CSD registration at tender closure, valid tax compliance (Form A9), CIDB Active Contractor's Listing (registration must not expire within 21 days after close), COID good standing, and BCCEI registration – failure on any is non-responsive.
B-BBEE: Valid SANAS-accredited certificate (or sworn affidavit/CIPC for EMEs with revenue < R3m) issued within 12 months of closing; JVs need a consolidated project-specific certificate.
Financial capacity: Tenderer (or JV combined) must have available capital exceeding 7.5% of contract value and provide a letter (dated <3 months before closing) from a registered FSP, accountant, or sponsor confirming cash flow means.
Plant and equipment: Must have or commit to the specified fleet per project (e.g., 2 route patrol vehicles, 2 tipper trucks 3–5t, 1 grader, 2 compactors, 1 water truck, 1 asphalt paver, 1 milling machine, etc.) – availability status (I/O/H) to be declared.
Key personnel: Construction Manager and Contracts Manager CVs, qualifications, professional registration, and CPD certificates; only road construction experience within the last 20 years counts.
Experience: List completed/ongoing projects within the last 15 years with award letters and completion certificates (Form B1.1/B1.2); points capped per Stage 3 criteria.
Local content: Complete SBD 6.2 and Annex C/D/E declarations; minimum threshold not stated in the document – verify in tender pack.
Returnable forms: All Forms A1–A27 and B1–B8 must be completed and signed; missing or blank forms (e.g., SBD4, A7, A22, A21) lead to disqualification.
Debt and litigation: Declare any debt to SANRAL (Form A4) and litigation history with state organs (Form A8); false declarations may invalidate the tender.
Insurance: Provide Form A18 with insurer countersignature covering works, equipment, personnel, public liability, and SASRIA.
Subcontracting: Only allowed per Part D; no subcontracting of M0200, M0300, M0400, M0600, M7100, M7200 – these must be performed by the main contractor.
Penalties: Various daily penalties apply (e.g., R5,000/day for mill and pave or pothole repair, R1,000/day for fencing, R500/sign/day, R100/km/day for mowing, R10,000 per percentage point for missing annual CPP milestone).
