SASSA is inviting bids for the collection and disposal of wastepaper from its head office, including the supply of collection boxes and trolleys, and the provision of digital educational materials on recycling. The contract requires the successful bidder to pay SASSA monthly for collected wastepaper and to sign a service level agreement. Bids are evaluated in two stages: administrative compliance (including central supplier database registration and completed sbd forms) followed by price, with a 90/10 preference point system applicable. The most consequential consideration is the requirement to remit payment to SASSA for the wastepaper, making this an income-generating contract where the bidder pays the state.
Stage One evaluation requires full administrative compliance: registration on the National Treasury Central Supplier Database and fully completed, signed SBD forms (including SBD 4 declaration).
Preference points: the 90/10 preference point system applies; bidders must complete the preference point claim form, indicating specific goals and points claimed, with the highest-scoring specific goal used if multiple are claimed.
The successful bidder must pay SASSA monthly for collected wastepaper, with the amount based on the quantity collected, deposited into a designated SASSA bank account.
The bidder must provide its own transport, trolleys, and collection boxes (50 small and 50 big) as required, and ensure vehicles are suitable for large paper quantities.
The bidder must supply digital educational materials on recycling practices, including instructions, best practices, safety guidelines, and recycling efficiency tips.
SASSA reserves the right to negotiate the price with the preferred bidder.
Bidders must declare any relationship with state employees or other enterprises (SBD 4), and false declarations will lead to disqualification and potential restriction from future contracts.
