Objectives

The primary objective is to engage a qualified contractor to execute repairs to the existing flooring within a language laboratory at the Western Cape College of Nursing’s Metro Campus. The project aims to restore the facility to safe, functional, and institutionally compliant standards while maintaining operational continuity.

Scope of Work

The scope encompasses the assessment, surface preparation, and repair of the language lab flooring. Contractors must submit a detailed, itemised cost breakdown aligned with the employer’s prescribed schedule. All works must strictly conform to the technical specifications provided in the tender attachments. The scope also mandates pre-tender site verification and strict adherence to administrative compliance procedures.

Technical Requirements

• Minimum contractor classification: CIDB grading of 1GB or higher.
• Mandatory attendance at the compulsory site meeting on 29 September 2026 at 10:30; failure to sign the attendance register results in automatic disqualification.
• Completion and electronic upload of the employer’s designated schedule/document is compulsory; omission renders the tender non-compliant.
• Tenders must be prepared exclusively using the official documentation issued by the employer.
• Submission deadline: 16:00 on 1 October 2026. Late submissions will be rejected.
• All pricing must reflect a comprehensive, structured cost breakdown as specified.

Skills Requirements

While not explicitly itemised, the required CIDB 1GB classification implies the need for demonstrated competence in general building construction, with specific focus on interior renovations and flooring systems. Contractors must possess practical expertise in substrate assessment, surface preparation, material handling, precision repair techniques, and adherence to occupational health and safety standards. Sufficient financial capacity, project management capability, and execution experience commensurate with the 1GB tier are also expected.

Key Terms & Clarifications

• CIDB Grading: A South African Construction Industry Development Board classification system that evaluates contractors based on financial turnover, project complexity, and execution capability. A 1GB rating indicates eligibility for general building construction projects within a defined monetary threshold.
• RFQ Framework: This tender operates under a Request for Quotation model, requiring structured pricing schedules rather than comprehensive design, engineering, or turnkey proposals.
• Compliance Mechanisms: The employer utilises strict procedural gatekeeping, treating mandatory site registration and document upload verification as binary pass/fail criteria rather than scored evaluation elements.
