The primary objective is to enhance community water security by drilling and fully equipping boreholes across designated municipal wards. This initiative aims to establish sustainable, reliable groundwater sources to support residential supply, communal needs, and broader service delivery within the municipality.
The tender covers the complete drilling and equipping of individual boreholes at specified locations, including Zezilabeni, Swene, Nzimane, and additional sites as detailed in the official Terms of Reference. Contracts are structured per ward (Wards 02, 03, 07, 12, and 19), with each award covering a single borehole project. The scope encompasses site assessment, geological drilling, well construction, pump and motor installation, electrical and mechanical integration, water quality testing, and final commissioning. Detailed engineering specifications, target depths, yield requirements, and equipment standards are governed by the project’s Terms of Reference.
Bidders must demonstrate technical capacity to execute municipal-grade borehole projects in compliance with national water and construction regulations. Required capabilities include rotary or cable-tool drilling, well casing and gravel packing, well development, submersible pump installation, and control panel setup. Post-drilling water quality analysis and functional performance testing are mandatory before handover. Contractors must submit a comprehensive Bill of Quantities detailing all materials, labour, and equipment costs. All work must align with municipal engineering standards and environmental protection guidelines.
Contractors must employ qualified personnel with proven experience in public sector drilling contracts. Essential roles include registered hydrogeologists, certified drilling supervisors, mechanical and electrical technicians, and project managers familiar with municipal procurement processes. Bidders must also demonstrate competency in site safety management, environmental compliance, and community engagement during active drilling phases.
Strict administrative compliance is mandatory. Submissions must include a valid identity document, current tax clearance certificate, a fully completed and signed Central Supplier Development Programme (CSDP) Form of Offer, all applicable Municipal Bid Document (MBD) forms, a municipal rates statement or sworn affidavit for rural operations, and a detailed Bill of Quantities. The CSDP is a standardized supplier registration and development framework used by municipalities to verify bidder eligibility and track procurement goals. MBD forms are statutory municipal bidding templates that ensure legal and procedural compliance. Failure to submit any required document results in immediate disqualification.

Most large tenders are composed of tasks in a number of different fields, and it is not always possible for a single company to cater for all of them, and therefore Joint Ventures and Consortia are formed to then submit a tender together.
Government tenders are also requiring the subcontracting of a percentage of the tender work, and the trouble is then finding Subcontractors to comply with the tender requirements
To assist companies with finding tender partners and subcontractors, you can now submit your contact details and company information on this page, so other interested parties can contact you for purposes of forming Joint Ventures and subcontracting
