Procurement of plumbing services for PRASA under RFQ scm_2024, covering installation, maintenance, and repair work. The contract requires a qualified plumber with a red seal and pirb registration, supported by key personnel experience, and is evaluated using the 80/20 preference point system (80 points price, 20 points b-bbee). Bidders must submit a fixed-price, tax-inclusive quotation in south african rand, complete the pricing schedule, and provide all required declarations and tax compliance evidence.
