TRANSNET pipelines requires a once-off supply and delivery of a service kit for an irp diaphragm pump to its tarlton depot in the north west province. The procurement runs as a request for quotation through the TRANSNET digital procurement system (tdps) e-supplier portal, with standard TRANSNET terms and conditions applying. The single most consequential consideration for bidders is that all submissions must be made via tdps with any deviations to the standard terms formally endorsed and uploaded simultaneously; failure to do so risks disqualification.
Closing: 8 October 2026 at 16:00 via TDPS e-Supplier Portal — no other submission method is accepted.
Deviations to standard terms must be endorsed on the document and uploaded with the bid; unendorsed deviations will not be considered.
Maximum contract value placeholder shows R000 000.00 (excluding VAT) — bidders must complete the actual pricing on the schedule.
Payment terms: 30 days from receipt of month-end statement, against original undisputed tax invoice with supporting documentation.
Subcontracting requires prior written approval; undisclosed subcontracting attracts a penalty of up to 10% of contract value, and subcontracting to non-qualifying B-BBEE entities is capped at 25% of contract value.
Supplier must not appear on National Treasury's Register of Tender Defaulters or List of Restricted Suppliers — Transnet will withdraw awards if this emerges post-award.
Supplier Integrity Pact compliance is mandatory, and the supplier must sign the non-disclosure agreement (Appendix 2).
Warranty: goods must conform to specifications and all applicable legislation, must not cause deterioration of Transnet equipment, and must not infringe third-party rights — supplier indemnifies Transnet for any breach.
