The national lotteries commission requires the supply and delivery of stationery items for its eastern cape provincial office. The scope includes 16 specified items such as pens, pencils, markers, erasers, rulers, scissors, notebooks, sticky notes, highlighters, and date stamps, with quantities ranging from 5 to 100 units. Bidders must submit via the e-tender portal only, and the evaluation follows the 80/20 preference point system (80 points for price, 20 points for specific goals). The most consequential consideration is that all mandatory documents, including sbd forms, csd registration, tax compliance, and b-bbee evidence, must be fully completed and submitted by the closing deadline, as any omission leads to disqualification.
Closing date and time: 23 October 2026 at 11:00 (South African Standard Time). Submissions must be made via the E-tender portal only; email submissions will not be considered. Submit at least 30 minutes early to avoid transmission delays.
Mandatory returnable documents: SBD 1, SBD 4, SBD 6.1, signed POPIA consent form, CSD report with tax compliant status, valid B-BBEE certificate or sworn affidavit (for EMEs/QSEs), and fully completed NLC price schedule (Annexure A). Any missing or unsigned mandatory document leads to disqualification.
CSD registration: Bidders must be registered on the Central Supplier Database (CSD) at www.csd.gov.za and provide their CSD registration number and summary report. The Commission may not award to a bidder not registered on CSD.
Tax compliance: Bidders must have valid tax clearance status on the closing date and provide a SARS Tax Compliance Status (TCS) PIN or printed TCS certificate. For joint ventures, each party must submit a separate TCS PIN/CSD number.
Evaluation: 80/20 preference point system — 80 points for price, 20 points for specific goals (black ownership, black women ownership, black youth ownership, disability ownership). Evidence required: copies of IDs or CIPC report for black ownership; B-BBEE certificate or sworn affidavit for women/youth; doctor's letter and CSD report for disability.
Queries: All questions must be sent to [email protected] no later than 24 hours before the closing date (by 22 October 2026 at 11:00). Technical enquiries: Calvin Kabinde, 012 432 1302, [email protected].
Disqualification risks: Late or incomplete submissions, submission via email, collusion with other bidders, or failure to disclose all CSD-registered companies linked to directors will result in disqualification.
