Suppliers are responsible for all pre-bidding testing costs. Premises must be open for inspection by the purchaser or its representatives at reasonable hours if required by the bid conditions.

Suppliers must retain all purchaser-provided documents in confidence and return them upon contract completion if requested. Suppliers must allow the purchaser to inspect and audit performance-related records.

Contractual Terms

SCC takes precedence in case of conflicts. Contracts must be written in English and interpreted under South African law. Contract amendments require written agreement signed by all parties.

Performance security (e.g., bank guarantee or cashier’s cheque) must be provided within 30 days of contract award. Security is discharged within 30 days of contract completion, including warranty periods. Delivery must comply with contract terms; delays may incur penalties calculated at the current prime interest rate per day. The purchaser may terminate the contract for default, insolvency, or corrupt/fraudulent practices. Termination for default may include restrictions on doing business with the public sector for up to 10 years. Force majeure events exempt suppliers from penalties if properly notified. Disputes must first be resolved via mutual consultation, then mediation, and finally in a South African court if unresolved. Supplier liability is limited to the contract price, excluding willful misconduct or criminal negligence. Insurance must cover goods against loss or damage during manufacture, transport, storage, and delivery. Packing must prevent damage during transit, including exposure to extreme conditions. All documents and information provided by the purchaser remain confidential and must not be disclosed without prior written consent. Suppliers must permit purchaser inspections and audits of performance records. Non-compliance with standards may result in rejection of supplies or services at the supplier’s cost and risk. Warranty: Goods must be new, unused, and free of defects for 12 months post-delivery or 18 months post-shipment (whichever is earlier). Suppliers must repair or replace defective goods upon notification.

Prices for incidental services (e.g., training, maintenance) must be agreed in advance and not exceed prevailing rates. No variation in contract prices is allowed unless authorized in SCC. All notices must be posted via registered or certified mail; timelines start from the date of posting.

interdependent.
Accordingly, all SAP processes must support near-real-time operational execution capability
across multiple integrated operational entities. The SAP environment currently interfaces
