The department of water and sanitation requires the supply and delivery of cooling pumps and fans (fog cannons) for the clanwilliam dam in the western cape province. Bidders must submit their bids by 8 october 2026 at 11:00 to the specified bid box. The evaluation follows a four-phase process: mandatory requirements, administrative compliance, technical evaluation, and preference points (80/20 system). The most consequential consideration is that failure to submit any mandatory document or comply with all technical specifications will render the bid non-responsive and disqualified.
Closing date and time: 8 October 2026 at 11:00; bids must be deposited in the bid box at the Entrance of Training Centre, Department of Water and Sanitation, Construction South, Clanwilliam Dam Site, Old N7 Route (coordinates 32°11'47.99"S, 18°52'34.96"E).
Mandatory documents (Phase 1): SBD 4 (Declaration of Interest) must be complete, signed, and all interests declared; failure to submit will disqualify the bid.
Administrative compliance (Phase 2): Must be registered on the Central Supplier Database (CSD) and submit CSD report; tax compliant with SARS (attach Tax Clearance letter and PIN); active CIPC registration (attach certificate); original or certified B-BBEE Status Level Verification Certificate; letter of appointment/board resolution authorising the signatory; complete and sign SBD 1, SBD 3.1, and SBD 6.1.
Technical evaluation (Phase 3): Bidders must provide technical datasheets/brochures for all items that clearly indicate the item and the qualifying specification as set out in Technical Information section 3.2.14; failure to comply with all technical specifications renders the bid non-responsive.
Preference points (Phase 4): 80/20 system (80 points price, 20 points specific goals). Specific goals: women ownership (5 points), disability ownership (5 points), youth ownership (5 points), location of enterprise in Western Cape (2 points), B-BBEE level 1 or 2 QSE/EME (3 points). Claims require supporting affidavits (Annexure 1 and 2) and B-BBEE certificates; missing proof means points not allocated.
Bids must be submitted on official forms (not re-typed), sealed in an envelope endorsed with the bid number and bidder's name; late bids will not be accepted.
The successful bidder must sign a written contract form (SBD 7) and payments will be made by electronic fund transfer.
