The procurement is governed by Transnet's Supplier Integrity Pact, which bidders must certify they have read and agreed to via the RFX Declaration Form. The single most consequential consideration is that this is a complex, high-value capital equipment tender with extensive integrity and eligibility vetting — any history of corruption, collusion, undisclosed conflicts of interest, or restriction on National Treasury's database will result in disqualification and potential exclusion from all public sector business for up to 10 years.

The contractor plans and procures, trenches, installs, tests and commissions, rehabilitates the site and closes out the project within five months of award, with all new trackside equipment vandal-proofed and cables laid underground to Trenching and Outdoor Cable Specification CSE 516 Version 2b. The decisive hurdle is the technical evaluation: bidders must score at least 70% of the 50 available functionality points before price (80 points) and specific goals (20 points) are considered. Bids close on 29 October 2026 at 12:00, and attendance at the compulsory briefing and site visit on 21 October 2026 at 10:00 is required.

Volumes are 120 000 L of diesel 50ppm and 20 000 L of petrol, delivered in bulk to the airport, with the supplier also providing and maintaining fuel storage, handling and dispensing infrastructure and reporting on deliveries and usage. Pricing follows a DMRE-linked formula in which only the regulated price component adjusts monthly while the supplier margin remains fixed for the contract.
