Johannesburg water requires the supply and delivery of four stainless steel, 6-branch filtration manifolds with a 47 mm filter diameter, monel (nickel-copper alloy) valves, silicone quick-lock hose couplings, sealing o-rings and feet, together with 250–500 ml sterile polypropylene funnels; the units must be interconnectable, autoclavable and supported by a product brochure. Quotations close on 19 october 2026 at 16:00 and must be submitted through the e-tender portal only, as a pdf on company letterhead, with every applicable tax included in the total price. Bids are scored on the 80/20 preference point system — 80 points for price and 20 for specific goals, the only claimed goal being an smme (eme or qse) that is 51% or more black owned. The two most consequential risks are a non-compliant b-bbee affidavit, which scores zero, and any omitted applicable tax, which disqualifies the quotation outright.
Closing: 19 October 2026 at 16:00, submitted through the e-Tender portal only (https://www.etenders.gov.za/); quotations received after the closing date and time are not accepted.
Briefing: no compulsory briefing session or site visit applies to this RFQ.
Evaluation: 80/20 preference point system — 80 points for price and 20 for specific goals; the only goal claimed is SMME (EME or QSE) that is 51% or more black owned, evidenced by a valid B-BBEE certificate from a SANAS-accredited agency, a DTI/CIPC EME or QSE certificate, or a sworn affidavit compliant with the B-BBEE Practice Guide — a non-compliant affidavit scores zero.
Compulsory returnables: valid tax clearance certificate or SARS PIN, CSD registration / MAAA supplier number, municipal rates and taxes statement not older than 90 days and not in arrears beyond 90 days, company registration documents with ID copies of directors and shareholders, and signed MBD 3.1, MBD 4, MBD 6.1, MBD 8, MBD 9 and POPIA consent form.
Pricing: MBD 3.1 firm prices only — non-firm prices and prices subject to exchange-rate variation are not considered; VAT at 15% and all applicable taxes (PAYE, income tax, UIF, skills development levies) must be included or the bid is disqualified; the offer must remain valid for 60 days from the closing date.
Format: PDF on company letterhead only — MS Word, MS Excel and image files are rejected; brand names must be stated where required and a product brochure must be attached.
Exclusions: bidders in the service of the state, and bidders blacklisted by National Treasury or any national authority for non-performance, will not be considered.
