Returnable documents — all must be completed, signed and submitted with the bid:

• SBD 1 (Invitation to Bid): bidder and contact details, signed as the offer cover page.
• SBD 4 (Bidder's Disclosure): declares any employment by an organ of state, relationships with the procuring institution, and interests in other enterprises. Failure to disclose all CSD-registered active companies linked to directors leads to disqualification.
• SBD 6.1 (Preferential Procurement Claim Form): claims preference points for specific goals; supporting evidence must accompany the bid.
• SBD 5 (National Industrial Participation Programme): signed and submitted with the bid.
• Government Procurement General Conditions of Contract: accepted and signed.

Bids must be prepared in English. SITA may request written clarification; failure to respond within the specified time frames disqualifies the bid. Bidders may not make news releases about the RFB without SITA's consent. Any changes to the RFB document must be made via a signed addendum; unauthorised changes are ignored. Bids are subject to the GCC, which is not negotiable except at SITA's discretion.

The applicable preference point system is the 80/20 system: a maximum of 80 points for price and 20 points for specific goals. Points for specific goals are detailed in Annexure 1 (Bid Specification). Failure to submit proof for claimed specific goals means those points are not awarded. SITA may require substantiation of any preference claim before or after adjudication. Evaluation returnable documents, if not submitted, result in a lower score but not automatic disqualification.

Prices quoted must remain firm for the validity period. SITA may extend the validity period; bidders refusing extension without justifiable reason are disqualified. Payment will be in South African Rand. A performance security may be required within 30 days of contract award, in the form of a bank guarantee, irrevocable letter of credit, or cashier's/certified cheque, as specified in the contract. The contract price is subject to the GCC; no price variations unless authorised.

Returnable forms:
