Inxuba yethemba local municipality requires the servicing of 282 fire extinguishers across its cradock and middelburg units for the 2026/2027 financial year. The scope covers extinguishers of various sizes (1.5kg To 9kg, including co2) located in municipal buildings, substations, libraries, workshops, and vehicles. Bidders must submit a sealed quotation by 12:00 on 27 october 2026, and the evaluation will use the 80/20 preferential point system, with 20 points split equally between locality and b-bbee status. The most consequential consideration is that sbd forms will not be accepted—bidders must use the specified municipal forms (mbd 4 and mbd 9) and include all required supporting documents to avoid disqualification.
Closing: Sealed quotations must be placed in the bid box at the Registry Office, IYM offices, No. 1 JA Calata Street, Cradock, 5880, before 12:00 on 27 October 2026. No email submissions will be accepted.
Mandatory documents: Submit MBD 4 (Declaration of Interest) and MBD 9 (Certificate of Independent Bid Determination), plus a CSD report, SARS PIN or tax compliance certificate, certified copies of directors' ID documents, and a municipal utility bill or lease agreement. SBD forms will not be considered and will lead to disqualification.
Preference points: The 80/20 system applies—80 points for price, 20 for preference. Preference points are split: 10 points for locality (based on enterprise location: 10 for Inxuba Yethemba, 8 for Chris Hani District, 5 for Eastern Cape, 2 for South Africa, 0 for outside) and 10 points for B-BBEE (only for 100% Black-owned firms). A municipal account must be submitted for locality points, and a B-BBEE certificate or sworn affidavit for B-BBEE points; failure to attach the certificate results in loss of preference points.
Pricing: Provide unit and total prices for the total quantity of 282 extinguishers, add VAT at 15%. Prices are evaluated inclusive of VAT, except for non-VAT vendors. Quotations must remain valid for 60 days from the closing date.
Payment: Payment will be issued within 30 days after delivery of goods.
Enquiries: Technical enquiries to Project Manager Mr. S. Kana (067 882 8745, [email protected]); SCM enquiries to Tandolwetu Petelo ((048) 801 5139, [email protected]).
General: The municipality reserves the right not to accept the lowest or any quotation, and may award in full or part. Late or incomplete quotations will not be considered.
