The tender seeks to procure two distinct municipal deliverables. The first objective is the supply and delivery of specific electrical and mechanical components, including line taps, heatshrink tubing, galvanized fasteners, and industrial circuit breakers. The second objective is to execute comprehensive building renovation works in Ward 53, involving structural repairs, roofing, ceiling and flooring installation, rainwater management, window treatments, painting, and carpentry.

• Electrical & Mechanical Supplies: Provision of 60 solid brass line taps (70mm), 10 metres of heatshrink tubing (25/28mm), 30 assembled sets of hot-dip galvanized bolts and nuts (20mm x 65mm with washers), and 10 three-phase 80 AMP circuit breakers.
• Building Renovations: Complete demolition and safe removal of collapsed roof structures, damaged flooring, and debris. Brickwork repair, plastering, and priming. Installation of galvanised IBR roof sheets with pine purlins and trusses, aluminium insulation sheeting, seamless gutters, downpipes, and PVC fascia boards. Supply and fitting of a suspended gypsum ceiling system, laminated flooring with acoustic underlay, aluminium Venetian blinds, and chrome-plated door locksets.

All scopes include daily site clearance, material security, and final handover.

Technical Requirements

• Product Standards: Fasteners must comply with SABS 763 (South African national specification for hexagon bolts and nuts).

Municipal officials may request physical samples or product brochures after closing; these must be submitted within three working days or the bid becomes non-responsive. All quotations must remain valid for a minimum of thirty days.
• Regulatory & Contractual Framework: Submissions must be electronic; faxed bids are rejected. The tender operates under the GP GCC 2010 (General Conditions of Contract for Goods and Services) and the Preferential Procurement Regulation of 2022, which enforces an 80/20 system to allocate preferential scoring towards historically disadvantaged groups and designated enterprises. Contractors must possess active CIDB 1GB registration (Construction Industry Development Board grading indicating baseline financial and project management capacity for general building works).
• Operational Constraints: A comprehensive Health & Safety file is mandatory. Work hours are restricted to weekdays between 08:00 and 16:00; off-hours work requires written approval. All quoted rates must be fully inclusive, covering on-site material security until project handover. A compulsory 10% contingency line item is required in the pricing schedule.
