Supply, delivery and installation of chairs at eastern cape local offices of the electoral commission. The tender is an open request for bid with a closing date of 28 october 2026 at 11:00. The single most consequential bidder consideration is that this appears to involve dtic-designated products, meaning bidders may need to apply to the DTIC for local-content exemption before the tender closes if they cannot meet minimum local-content thresholds — applications take 3–5 working days and are not accepted after closing.
Closing: 28 October 2026 at 11:00 — submission method and address not stated in the available document text.
Local-content exemption: if the chairs are a dtic-designated product and the minimum local-content threshold cannot be met, bidders must apply to the dtic before the tender closes; no exemptions are processed after closing.
Exemption application: must be on signed company letterhead, addressed to Dr Tebogo Makube ([email protected]), with copy to [email protected]; must include procuring entity, tender number, closing date, item(s), description of use, achievable local-content percentage, reasons for request, specification attachment, and supporting letters from local manufacturers if applicable.
Exemption processing time: 3–5 working days — bidders must allow sufficient time before the 28 October 2026 deadline.
Note: The IEC tender contact (SCM and technical) is not provided in the available document text; the dtic contact above is for exemption requests only, not for tender enquiries.
Standard National Treasury forms (SBD 1, 3.1, 4, 6.1, 6.2, 7.1, 8, 9) are typically required for SA government tenders but are not detailed in the extracted text.
