The department of water and sanitation requires the supply and delivery of local content stainless-steel material for toilet structures at mzimvubu dam in the eastern cape. The scope includes 16 line items such as grab rails, soap dispensers, toilet roll holders, a booster pump, and various fittings. Bids are evaluated on an 80/20 preference point system, with 20 points available for specific goals including ownership and b-bbee status. The most consequential consideration is that bidders must complete the local content declaration summary schedule and provide proof for all claimed preference points, as failure to do so will result in NO points being awarded for specific goals.
Closing: 10 November 2026 at 11:00; submit by email to [email protected] with CC to [email protected]; late bids are rejected.
Mandatory returnables: SBD 4 (Declaration of Interest), SBD 6.1 (Preference Points Claim), Local Content Declaration Summary Schedule (SATS 1286.2011 Annex C), and proof of authority to sign (e.g. company resolution).
Tax compliance: submit a SARS TCS PIN or printed TCS certificate; if no PIN, provide a CSD number. Each consortium/JV/sub-contractor party must submit its own.
State employment: bids from persons in the service of the state, or companies/CCs with such directors/members, will not be considered.
Preference points (80/20): price 80 points; specific goals 20 points — women ownership 5, disability ownership 5, youth ownership 5, Eastern Cape location 2, B-BBEE level 1-2 (QSE/EME) 3. Proof must accompany the bid or points are not claimed.
