The department requires the supply, delivery and installation of a new office shredder for the george municipality. Quotations must be submitted in a sealed envelope to the supply chain management unit at the civic centre, york street, george by 13 november 2026 at 12:00, and the total price may not exceed r300,000 (VAT included). The single most consequential bidder consideration is the need to provide a valid b‑bee certificate and proof of address for locality points, as failure results in zero preference points in the 80/20 evaluation system.
Closing date and time: 13 November 2026 at 12:00; sealed envelope to George Municipality, 5th Floor, Directorate: Financial Services, Supply Chain Management Unit, Civic Centre, York Street, George; late or unmarked quotations are rejected.
Mandatory returnable forms: MBD1, MBD4, MBD6.1, MBD8, MBD9, board resolution, joint‑venture agreement (if applicable), certified ID copies of directors/owners, valid B‑BEE certificate, proof of address for locality points, past‑experience schedule, completed pricing schedule; omission disqualifies.
Eligibility thresholds: Must be registered on the Central Supplier Database (CSD), hold a valid SARS TCS PIN and tax‑clearance certificate for transactions >R30,000, and submit a valid B‑BEE certificate; no B‑BEE certificate yields zero preference points.
Pricing and financial limits: Firm price with 15 % VAT; total price must not exceed R300,000 (VAT incl); price remains valid for 60 days from closing date; a firm delivery period must be indicated.
Evaluation system: 80/20 preference points (price 80, B‑BEE 10, locality 10); highest total points wins; B‑BEE points based on level, locality points based on George Municipality office location; proof of address required for locality points.
Disqualifying conditions: No bids from persons in service of the state, provincial government or municipality; all forms must be signed and submitted; joint‑venture bids must include agreement; fronting on locality claims leads to CSD blacklisting.
