The south african national petroleum company (sanpc) invites bids for the manufacture, supply and delivery of heavy-duty oil containment booms for the sanpc saldanha terminal and offshore petrol company (opc). The scope comprises 20 x 50m inflatable boom sections, 4 inflator nozzles and 10 spare boom valves, all meeting strict technical minimums including ep 400 base fabric, 20000 N/5cm tensile strength, 440mm freeboard and a 12-month manufacturer warranty. Bidders must pass a mandatory technical pre-qualification against 12 specifications and achieve at least 70% in the technical evaluation, with the single most consequential consideration being that any failure to meet all technical specifications results in automatic disqualification.
Closing date: 11 November 2026 at 11:00.
Mandatory technical pre-qualification: bidders must prove compliance with all 12 minimum specifications (section length 50-100m, height 1200-1300mm, freeboard 440mm, draft 560-660mm, base fabric EP 400, air chamber length 3m, tensile strength 20000 N/5cm, galvanised ballast chain, ballast weight 2.2kg/m, temperature resistance +-40/60C, buoyancy/weight ratio 9:1, weight 12.1kg/m) — failure to meet any specification disqualifies the bid.
Technical evaluation minimum threshold: 70%.
Quality assurance: manufacturer's certificate confirming ISO 9001:2015 compliance (35% weighting).
Experience: reference letters for similar heavy-duty oil containment boom projects within the last 10 years (35% weighting).
Delivery schedule: delivery period from purchase order, evaluated against a points table (30% weighting) — 10-11 weeks scores 5 points, declining to 0 points for delivery beyond 19 weeks; must include a Gantt chart or similar project plan.
Manufacturer warranty: no less than 12 months, included as a contractual term.
Scope of supply: 20 x 50m heavy-duty inflatable oil containment boom sections, 4 inflator nozzles and 10 completed boom valves (spares); no blowers, reels or towing braiders required.
Existing booms must be retained and not scrapped or removed.
No CSD registration, tax clearance, B-BBEE, CIDB, CIPC, professional registration or local content requirements are stated in the provided annexures.

Operating conditions include high swells (waves), strong currents, and severe winds during vessel operations, imposing significant mechanical stress that accelerates wear and degradation of equipment, compromising the booms’ ability to function as a reliable containment barrier in an oil spill.
