Note: Points are awarded only with the required proof; failing to submit proof means those points are not claimed.

The JPC seeks to list contractors on a panel to provide wet services and plumbing specialist work for the City of Johannesburg, for general repairs, maintenance and minor upgrades, on an as-and-when-required basis.

• Scope category: Wet Services and Plumbing Specialist (SO), restricted to CIDB Grade 2 to 4.
• Panel period: three (3) years from the date of award onto the panel.
• Panel use: Services will be procured as and when required. Emergency works will be priced according to a fixed Bill of Quantities produced by JPC; planned works will be actioned through the SCM RFQ process.
• No guaranteed work: Appointment to the panel does not guarantee that any work will be awarded. JPC may appoint more than one service provider depending on the nature of the work, and reserves the right not to make any appointment.
• Resource requirements: Bidders must have adequate resources to undertake work under stringent timeframes.
• Projects will be monitored by JPC officials. No JPC official will contact panel bidders for quotes outside the prescribed process.

Bidders must demonstrate relevant experience and qualifications of key personnel. The tender pack includes a Statement of Bidder's Experience (JPC MBD 13) and a form for relevant experience and qualifications of key personnel (JPC MBD 23). No specific minimum years of experience are stated in the document; the functionality evaluation criteria, which require a minimum of 70 points, are applied to assess this.

The bid document does not include a pricing schedule. Prices are not required at the panel application stage. For emergency works, prices will be fixed according to a Bill of Quantities (BoQ) produced by JPC. Planned works will be sourced through the SCM RFQ process, where quotations will be requested as needed.

No pricing schedule is required at bid submission stage. Quotations will be requested from panel members as and when work is required.

Preference point system: 90/10, with 90 points for price and 10 for specific goals (8/20 system shown for reference).

Public liability insurance: cover must equal the value of the CIDB grading for each grade.

No other financial requirements (bonds, guarantees, retention) are stated in the document.

Mandatory pre-qualifiers (failure disqualifies):

• Active CIDB grading certificate, Grade 2 to 4 (SO) Wet Services and Plumbing.
• Public Liability Insurance equal to the CIDB grading value.
• COIDA or FEM registration in good standing.
• CSD registration valid on the tender closing date.
• Valid SARS tax compliance status PIN.
• Proof of entity registration (as applicable):

• Close corporation: current CK1 or CK2C or COR20.1.
• Trust: letter of appointment from the Master of the High Court and deed of trust.
• JV/Consortium: JV/Consortium agreement plus CIPC or ID documents of all partners.
• Up-to-date municipal account, not older than 3 months from closing date and not over 3 months in arrears, or proof of arrangements to settle arrears, or an affidavit explaining why the account cannot be provided (for individuals and entities; for entities a valid lease agreement is also acceptable).
• For JV/Consortium: all members must submit all required documentation.
• Valid B-BBEE certificate (entity's own or consolidated for JV/Consortium) — sworn affidavit not accepted for this tender.
• Signed declarations: MBD 4, MBD 8, MBD 9, and JPC MBD 7.1.
• Company resolution authorising the signatory.

General compliance:

• Bidders must not be in the service of the state.
• Bidders or directors listed on the National Treasury register of defaulters are disqualified.
• Foreign suppliers must complete the pre-award questionnaire (Part B:3).

The panel appointment is subject to JPC's Standard Conditions of Appointment (JPC MBD 15/16). Contract may not be ceded or assigned to a third party unless the bidder declares they are acting as agent for another party. Any misrepresentation of information provided in the bid is treated as a material breach and leads to disqualification or termination of any subsequent appointment. JPC is not liable for any costs or losses incurred by bidders in preparing their submissions. Bids may be rejected if the bidder or any director has abused the supply chain management system, been convicted of fraud or corruption in the past five years, reneged on public sector contracts, or is listed on the Register for Tender Defaulters. JPC reserves the right to withdraw the tender, not to accept any proposal, and to negotiate with any bidder. Appointment from the panel is at JPC's sole and absolute discretion.

Bids are evaluated in two stages. Stage 1 is mandatory pre-qualification, checking all required documents and compliance items — any failure disqualifies the bid. Stage 2 applies functionality criteria, with a minimum threshold of 70 points. Preference points are then allocated under the 90/10 system (90 for price, 10 for specific goals) as detailed in the evaluation criteria section.
