Supply and delivery of medical and IT equipment to two remote departmental sites: sanae iv in antarctica and marion island. The scope covers an ecg machine with 5 leads and an ent diagnostic set for sanae iv, plus two laptops, two all-in-one desktops and a portable digital patient monitor for marion island. Quotations close on 5 november 2026 at 11:00 and must be emailed to [email protected] On the bidder's company letterhead, with all delivery costs and applicable taxes built into the price. The most consequential risk is the mandatory municipal food premises certificate issued in the bidding company's name — a quotation without IT is disqualified before any evaluation.
Closing: 5 November 2026 at 11:00, emailed to [email protected]; late quotations are not accepted. No compulsory briefing or site visit applies.
Mandatory certificate: a Food Premises Certificate issued by the municipality in the name of the bidding company must accompany the quotation — failure to submit it disqualifies the bid and it is not evaluated further.
Registration and tax: a CSD registration report or MAAA number and a SARS tax status PIN (or CSD number/report) are required, and the bidder must stay tax compliant for the full contract term.
Returnable forms: SBD 4 (Declaration of Interest) and SBD 6.1 (Preference Points Claim) must be completed and signed; omitting the proof required for specific-goals claims means those points are forfeited.
Evaluation: 80/20 system — 80 points for price (lowest acceptable quotation as Pmin) and 20 points for specific goals, being more than 50% ownership by Black people, women, or people with disabilities. Supporting proof is a SANAS/CIPC-accredited B-BBEE certificate or sworn affidavit, a CIPC ownership certificate, and a medical certificate with a practice number for disability claims; joint ventures must file a consolidated B-BBEE certificate in the joined entities' names.
Quotation format and pricing: submit on company letterhead showing item descriptions, VAT per item, banking details, contact details, CSD MAAA number and delivery timelines; prices must be firm until delivery, include all delivery costs and applicable taxes, and remain valid for 90 days from closing unless stated otherwise.
Delivery and exclusion: no goods may be delivered before an official order is received, late delivery may cancel the order and lead to listing on National Treasury's Database of Restricted Suppliers, and bidders on the Register for Tender Defaulters or the List of Restricted Suppliers are automatically disqualified.
