The city of cape town is procuring the supply, servicing and disposal of sanitary bins for its facilities under a 36-month contract, with two tenderers appointed per area (one winner and one alternative) on a winner-takes-all basis. Bidders must achieve a minimum functionality score of 60 out of 100, which requires proven commercial contract value in hands-free sanitary bin services and access to suitable waste transportation vehicles. The most consequential requirement is the mandatory medical waste transporter registration and hazardous waste disposal permit, without which the tender is non-responsive.
Medical waste transporter registration: Bidders must be registered with the relevant provincial authority for medical waste transport and attach proof of a valid registration certificate under Schedule 13A, failing which the tender is non-responsive.
Hazardous waste disposal permit: Bidders must hold a valid permit to operate a hazardous waste disposal site under Section 20 of the Environment Conservation Act, or authorisation to incinerate medical waste; if disposal is subcontracted, a signed agreement with the third party and their valid permit must be submitted.
Functionality minimum score: Bidders must achieve at least 60 out of 100 points, scored on commercial contract value (up to 50 points for contracts over R300,000 in the last 10 years) and waste transportation vehicles owned or leased (up to 50 points for more than 4 vehicles).
Commercial contract evidence: For functionality points, bidders must submit a completed and signed Client Reference Form (Annexure B) or a signed letter of award or contract showing the contract value and services rendered for hands-free sanitary bin supply, installation and management.
Vehicle proof: For owned vehicles, registration certificates must reflect the company or director's name; for leased/rented vehicles, a valid lease or rental agreement signed by both parties and identifying the vehicles must be attached.
Registration requirements: Bidders must be registered on the CCT Supplier Database and the National Treasury Central Supplier Database (CSD), and each joint venture partner must register individually.
Submission deadline and venue: Tenders must be delivered in a sealed envelope marked with the tender number, description, box number and closing date to the Tender & Quotation Boxes Office, 2nd Floor, Civic Centre, 12 Hertzog Boulevard, Cape Town, before 10:00 am on 08 September 2026; late, faxed or emailed tenders are rejected.
