Objectives

The primary objective is to restore and maintain adequate sanitation infrastructure at the Phoenix Community Health Centre by repairing existing damaged toilet units and supplying replacements where necessary. This initiative aims to ensure continuous access to hygienic, fully functional sanitation facilities for patients, healthcare workers, and visitors, thereby supporting infection prevention and compliance with public health standards.

Scope

The contract encompasses the end-to-end repair and replacement of thirty-seven (37) toilet units across the facility. The supplier’s responsibilities include conducting initial site assessments, procuring suitable sanitary ware and replacement components, executing all necessary demolition, plumbing, and installation works, and delivering completed installations ready for immediate use. A mandatory site meeting will be held to align on logistical arrangements, verify quantities, and address site-specific constraints before work commences.

Technical Requirements

• Supply and installation of durable, water-efficient toilet suites that comply with applicable South African National Standards (SANS) and Department of Health guidelines for public healthcare facilities.
• Execution of all associated civil and mechanical works, including pipe rerouting, drainage connections, flooring adjustments, and finishing works required for proper fixture integration.
• Adherence to municipal building codes, environmental regulations, and strict occupational health and safety protocols throughout the execution period.
• Submission of comprehensive technical proposals detailing material specifications, method statements, quality assurance measures, and a realistic project timeline.
• Completion of a compulsory site inspection to validate technical feasibility, identify potential access or utility constraints, and confirm exact repair versus replacement requirements.

Skills Requirements

• Valid trade certification or recognized qualification in plumbing, sanitary engineering, or related construction disciplines.
• Proven track record in executing maintenance, refurbishment, or installation projects within healthcare or institutional environments.
• Competence in interpreting site conditions, coordinating multiple trades (e.g., tilers, plumbers, painters), and managing on-site workflows efficiently.
• Strong project management capabilities to deliver within agreed deadlines while minimizing disruption to daily clinical and administrative operations.
• Familiarity with provincial public sector procurement compliance, including tax clearance, registration documents, and transformation scorecard requirements.

Notes on Specialized Terms

Community Health Centre (CHC): In the South African context, a CHC is a primary healthcare facility that delivers essential outpatient services, maternal and child health programs, immunizations, and chronic disease management. Due to high patient turnover and strict infection control mandates, sanitation infrastructure at these sites must meet rigorous durability, hygiene, and accessibility standards.

No other highly specialized services, products, or contractual terms are indicated in the provided tender data. Standard public sector procurement and health facility compliance requirements apply.
