This tender invites bids for routine road maintenance construction services for projects located in Gauteng Province. The work falls under the construction and civil engineering sector and is an open tender (Request for Bid). No briefing session is scheduled, and the closing date is 16 October 2026.
Rand Water requires the investigation, drilling, rehabilitation, equipping, installation, commissioning and handover of borehole groundwater infrastructure for 47 identified unserved communities across 11 municipalities in Gauteng and Mpumalanga, delivered over six months. Each site takes one borehole with submersible pump, concrete manhole and production meter, a steel tank stand carrying between two and five 10 000 L tanks, a 2 m x 2 m treatment kiosk, a 6-tap pipe stand, clear view fencing and a gate, with solar as the primary power source and hybrid photovoltaic backup sized for at least two days' autonomy where no utility connection can be provided within three to four weeks. Delivery runs in three stages — studies and compliance, installation and commissioning, then commissioning with a 12-month defects liability and technical support period — with Stages 1 and 2 able to overlap. The most consequential consideration for bidders is that the contract price is deemed to cover all testing, interface coordination and site-condition risk, because bidders are deemed to have inspected the sites and claims based on lack of site knowledge will not be entertained.
The City of Joburg Property Company (JPC) is establishing a panel of General Building (GB) contractors, restricted to CIDB Grade 2 to 4, to provide repairs, maintenance, and minor upgrades for the City of Johannesburg on an as-and-when-required basis for three years. Appointment to the panel does not guarantee work; projects are allocated via a rotational process for emergency works and the SCM RFQ process for planned works. Bidders must pass all mandatory pre-qualifiers and score at least 70 points on functionality to be considered. The most consequential requirement is the compulsory briefing session on 30 September 2026 – non-attendance results in automatic disqualification.
This tender covers the construction and fit-out of a disabled toilet and associated sanitary areas, including the supply and installation of stainless steel fixtures, timber doors, plastering, and finishes, with work to be carried out in accordance with architectural and engineering drawings.

The most consequential consideration is that the full tender pack is required for complete evaluation details, as the provided document is primarily architectural drawings and specifications.

Deliverables run from an inception meeting and site assessment report through options analysis, indicative cost estimates and an implementation roadmap to a final feasibility report and a presentation to SANAS management and health and safety representatives, with delivery expected in November 2026 on a once-off basis. The decisive bidder consideration is the compulsory briefing session on 21 October 2026 at 11:00 at the SANAS offices in Equestria, ahead of the 27 October 2026 at 11:00 closing.

The work is procured by Request for Quotation under reference PR10118921, with bids closing on 21 October 2026 at 11:00.
