The housing development agency (hda) seeks a contractor to complete the construction of engineering services to 970 erven for the westbank restitution phase 2 project in the buffalo city metropolitan municipality, eastern cape. The successful bidder will be appointed under a contract governed by the RFP, with a 120-business-day validity period. Bidders must hold an active CIDB contractor grading of 8ce or higher and meet a 70% technical evaluation threshold; evaluation follows a 90/10 price-to-specific-goals preference system. The most consequential consideration is the mandatory CIDB 8ce grading and the requirement to demonstrate at least one completed engineering services project valued at r30 million or more.
CIDB registration: Bidders must hold a valid CIDB contractor grading of 8CE or higher, with an active status at evaluation; suspended or expired status disqualifies the bid.
Technical threshold: Bidders must score at least 70% in the technical/functionality evaluation (Stage 3) to proceed to price and specific goals evaluation.
Company experience: Proof of successfully completed engineering services projects, each with a minimum value of R30 million, is required; appointment letters and completion certificates must be attached for each project.
Key personnel: The Construction Manager/Site Agent must hold a National Diploma/BSc/B-Tech in Building Science, Construction Management, or Civil Engineering, with valid ECSA or SACPCMP registration and at least 5 years' post-registration experience; the Construction Health and Safety Officer must hold a National Diploma in Safety Management or higher, be registered with SACPCMP, and have 5 years' experience.
Submission packaging: Bids must be submitted in two sealed envelopes – Volume 1 (compliance and technical, no pricing) and Volume 2 (financial proposal and SBD 6.1); pricing in Volume 1 may cause disqualification.
Mandatory returnables: SBD 1, SBD 4, SBD 6.1, COID Letter of Good Standing, CSD report, and valid CIDB registration must be submitted; failure to submit any may lead to disqualification.
Closing and enquiries: Bids must be deposited in the HDA tender box at 4 Kikuyu Road, Sunninghill, 2070 by 24 November 2026 at 11:00; questions must be emailed to [email protected] by 13 November 2026 at 16:00.
