Johannesburg water requires the supply and delivery of three cleaning and hygiene consumables: one-ply general toilet paper to SANS 1887-2 (6 units), 125 g facial and body clean bar soap (3 units), and 25 litre concentrated pine thick gel all-purpose cleaner, deodoriser, degreaser and disinfectant to SANS 1853 (10 units). The RFQ is reserved for smmes that are emes or qses and at least 51% black owned by black people, and is scored on the 80/20 preference point system with 80 points for price and 20 for that specific goal. Bidders must state a brand name and attach a manufacturer datasheet for every item, and the total quotation must include all applicable taxes — failing either requirement disqualifies the bid. Quotations close on 3 november 2026 at 12:00 and must be submitted as a pdf on company letterhead through the national treasury e-tender portal using csd credentials.
Closing and submission: quotations close on 3 November 2026 at 12:00; late quotations are rejected. Submit as a PDF on company letterhead, signed and stamped, via the National Treasury e-Tender Portal (https://www.etenders.gov.za/) using CSD login credentials. A compulsory site briefing is listed as a mandatory requirement where applicable, but no date, time or venue is given.
Brand names and datasheets: a brand name must be offered for each of the three items and a manufacturer datasheet supplied for every item; failure to provide the datasheet results in disqualification, and quotations without brand names where required are not accepted.
Taxes: the total quotation value must include all applicable taxes; failure to include them leads to disqualification. Quotations must remain valid for 60 days.
Specific goal and B-BBEE evidence: the 20 preference points go to an SMME that is an EME or QSE and 51% or more black owned by Black people, evidenced by a valid B-BBEE certificate from a SANAS accredited verification agency or a DTI/CIPC certificate, or a sworn affidavit compliant with the B-BBEE Practice Guide; a non-compliant affidavit scores zero, and no proof means the points are not claimed.
Compulsory returnables: CSD registration or MAAA supplier number, valid tax clearance certificate or SARS tax compliance PIN, B-BBEE certificate or affidavit, municipal rates and taxes not older than 90 days and not in arrears beyond 90 days, a lease agreement or municipal account statement not older than 3 months, company registration documents with ID copies of all directors and shareholders, and signed MBD 4, MBD 8, MBD 9 and MBD 6.1 forms.
Evaluation: 80/20 system under the PPPFA 2022 — 80 points for price and 20 for the specific goal, out of 100; no minimum qualifying score is stated. Products must comply with SANS 1887-2 and SANS 1853, and the bill of quantities/specification must be completed in full.
Exclusions: no quotation will be considered from a person in the service of the state, and bidders blacklisted by National Treasury or any national authority for non-performance, listed on the Database of Restricted Suppliers or the Register for Tender Defaulters, convicted of fraud or corruption in the past five years, or whose public sector contract was terminated for non-performance in the past five years, will be rejected.
