Sanas is procuring a hybrid pv solar system for its premises under a 36-month contract, requiring design, supply, installation, and maintenance of a solar solution that reduces grid dependence. Bidders must submit a technical and financial proposal in separate envelopes plus a USB, with a hard-copy original, by the closing deadline. The most consequential consideration is strict compliance with the two-envelope submission format, pre-qualification criteria, and the 80/20 preference point system, as any deviation risks disqualification.

Submission format: one (1) hard copy containing two (2) separate envelopes (Technical and Financial) plus one (1) USB stick with all original proposals; cover page must show bid reference, description, and bidder name.
Mandatory pre-qualifiers: valid CSD registration (Master Registration Number), valid tax compliance status with PIN, completed and signed SBD 1, SBD 4, SBD 6.1, and other SBD forms, and signed/initialed GCC on each page.
Evaluation: 80/20 preference point system (income-generating contract ≤ R50 million); highest total points (price + B-BBEE) wins, subject to PPPFA.
Subcontracting: only with SANAS approval; subcontractors must be the same as in the proposal.
Bid validity: offer must remain valid for the period specified in the tender (typically 90 days); all prices inclusive of VAT, with year 2 and 3 escalations included.
