1 This Municipal Bidding Document (MBD) must form part of all bids1 invited.
MandatoryCategory: technical
2 Section 4 (1) (b) (iii) of the Competition Act No. , as amended, prohibits
Category: technical
an agreement between, or concerted practice by, firms, or a decision by an
Category: technical
association of firms, if it is between parties in a horizontal relationship and if it
Category: technical
involves collusive bidding (or bid rigging).2 Collusive bidding is a pe se prohibition
Category: technical
meaning that it cannot be justified under any grounds.
Category: technical
3 Municipal Supply Regulation 38 (1) prescribes that a supply chain management
Category: technical
policy must provide measures for the combating of abuse of the supply chain
MandatoryCategory: technical
management system, and must enable the accounting officer, among others, to:
MandatoryCategory: technical
a. take all reasonable steps to prevent such abuse;
Category: technical
b. reject the bid of any bidder if that bidder or any of its directors has abused the
Category: technical
supply chain management system of the municipality or municipal entity or
Category: technical
has committed any improper conduct in relation to such system; and
Category: technical
c. cancel a contract awarded to a person if the person committed any corrupt or
Category: technical
fraudulent act during the bidding process or the execution of the contract.
Category: technical
4 This MBD serves as a certificate of declaration that would be used by institutions to
Category: technical
ensure that, when bids are considered, reasonable steps are taken to prevent any
Category: technical
form of bid-rigging.

Category: technical
(MBD 9) must be completed and submitted with the bid:

2 Bid rigging (or collusive bidding) occurs when businesses, that would otherwise be expected to compete, secretly conspire to raise prices or
Category: technical
lower the quality of goods and / or services for purchasers who wish to acquire goods and / or services through a bidding process. Bid rigging
Category: technical
is, therefore, an agreement between competitors not to compete.
