TRANSNET requires a service provider to assess, repair and maintain air-conditioning units on the phelophepa health trains for thirty-six months on an as-and-when-required basis. The contract runs for three years with NO guaranteed minimum volume of work. Bidders must sign transnet's standard non-disclosure agreement before receiving technical information, and must comply with all returnable forms and evaluation criteria set out in the main bid document. The single most consequential consideration is that this is a non-guaranteed-demand contract — bidders must price and resource for intermittent call-outs over three years without committed volumes.
Closing date and time: 21 October 2026 at 11:00 — late submissions will not be considered.
Mandatory non-disclosure agreement: bidders must execute Transnet's NDA (Annexure E) before accessing confidential technical information; obligations survive for 5 years after bid conclusion.
Scope: assessment, repair and maintenance of air-conditioners on Phelophepa health trains only — no other Transnet rolling stock.
Contract term: 36 months from award, as-and-when-required basis with no minimum guarantee of work.
Return of information: within 7 days of written demand, all confidential information and copies must be returned or destroyed, with a director's certificate of compliance.
Publicity restriction: no announcement or use of Transnet's name for marketing without prior written consent.
Standard Transnet bid forms: SBD 1 (Invitation to Bid), SBD 4 (Declaration of Interest), SBD 6.1 (Preference Points Claim), SBD 8 (Past SCM Practices), SBD 9 (Certificate of Independent Bid Determination) and Authority to Sign are required — exact list to be confirmed from main bid document.
