Magareng local municipality seeks a VAT consulting services provider for a 36-month contract, with emphasis on municipal/public sector VAT experience and knowledge of the solar financial system. Bidders must score above 70% on a 100-point functionality evaluation to proceed to price and preference scoring under the 80/20 system. The single most consequential consideration is the high functionality threshold combined with the requirement for tax practitioner registration and proven solar financial system expertise — smes without this specific track record will not advance regardless of price.
Functionality threshold: 70 out of 100 points minimum to proceed; criteria weighted heavily toward municipal/public sector VAT experience (25 points), personnel qualifications (20 points), and Solar Financial System knowledge (15 points).
Mandatory registration: Tax Practitioner or Tax Representative status with professional membership — 10 functionality points and essential for scope delivery.
Closing: 06 November 2026 at 12h00, physical tender box at Magareng Local Municipality main reception, Magrieta Prinsloo Street, Warrenton, 8530 only — no email, fax or late submissions.
No briefing session: bidders must self-source all requirements from the tender documents; documents available free on e-tender/municipal website or R1 500 at municipal offices from 02 October 2026.
Municipal account proof: tenderer entity name, not older than 3 months, arrears not exceeding 3 months (30 days if tender value exceeds R10 million VAT included); plus proof for all shareholders' and directors' business properties with no undisputed commitments overdue more than 90 days.
Specific goals under 80/20 system: 51%+ black-owned (10 points), 30%+ women-owned (5 points), within 250 km of Magareng LM (5 points) — valid B-BBEE certificate or sworn affidavit required.
