Tender Summary

Objectives

The primary objective is to procure and deliver high-performance optical fibre and electrical power cables to support municipal telecommunications and electrical infrastructure projects. The tender seeks qualified suppliers capable of meeting stringent technical specifications, adhering to national procurement regulations, and ensuring reliable, timely delivery.

Scope

The scope covers the supply and delivery of four cable categories:

  • 48-Fibre Multi-Loose Tube Cable: 2 drums of unarmoured, HDPE-sheathed micro-optical fibre cable.
  • 96-Fibre Multi-Loose Tube Cable: 2 drums of unarmoured, HDPE-sheathed micro-optical fibre cable.
  • 48-Fibre ADSS Cable: 2 drums of single-sheath, overhead all-dielectric self-supporting optical fibre cable.
  • Overhead Electrical Cable: 2,500 metres of 16mm x 3-core + 54.6N aluminium self-supporting conductor cable.

Bidders must be prepared to provide product samples or brochures within three working days if requested post-closing. All submissions must be completed electronically, with pricing valid for a minimum of thirty days. Successful bidders are required to register on the municipality’s official supplier database.

Technical Requirements

  • Fibre Optic Construction: Cables must comply with ITU-T G.652D and G.657A1 standards. They require HDPE outer sheathing, non-metallic anti-buckling central strength members for tensile resistance, and precise fibre counts. Drum lengths are fixed at 4,000m or 4,100m per type.
  • ADSS Specification: Must be single-mode G.657A1 compliant, containing single-mode fibres (SMF), with a non-metallic FRP rod serving as the central tensile strength member. Length: 4,000m per drum.
  • Electrical Cable Specification: Must conform to SABS 1418 Parts 1 and 2. Features include 16mm cross-section, three current-carrying cores plus a 54.6N aluminium neutral, XLPE insulation, and a 600/1000V rating for overhead use.
  • Compliance & Submission: Responses must be submitted exclusively via the designated online portal. Pricing must remain valid for thirty days. The 80/20 preferential procurement system applies.

Skills Requirements

While not explicitly detailed in the advert, successful execution requires proven expertise in telecommunications and electrical cable manufacturing or distribution, robust quality assurance processes to verify compliance with international and South African standards, and efficient logistics management for bulk drum and metre-based deliveries. Suppliers must also possess strong administrative capabilities to promptly furnish requested samples or technical documentation, along with familiarity with municipal e-procurement platforms and registration procedures.

Explanation of Key Terms

  • ADSS (All-Dielectric Self-Supporting): An aerial fibre optic cable with zero metallic components, eliminating electromagnetic interference and electric shock risks, making it safe for installation near power lines.
  • ITU-T G.652D / G.657A1: International standards for single-mode optical fibre. G.652D defines standard low-water-pet fibre for long-distance transmission, while G.657A1 specifies bend-insensitive fibre optimized for tight routing in dense urban or indoor networks.
  • SABS 1418: The South African national standard governing low-voltage insulated cables, ensuring electrical safety, thermal stability, and mechanical durability for power distribution.
  • ABC Overhead Cable: Refers to self-supporting aerial bundled cables used for overhead power distribution, combining multiple insulated phase conductors around a central structural neutral core.
  • 80/20 System: A preferential procurement scoring model where eighty percent of evaluation points are allocated to price competitiveness and twenty percent to historical socio-economic transformation preferences (e.g., local enterprise development and empowerment targets).

Joint Ventures, Consortia and Subcontracting:

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

You will need to supply your details on every tender you are interested in tendering for. For this you need an active Business Listing - Register and Login at My Account to create a Business Listing
