Tender Summary

Objectives

To procure and deliver reliable suspension assemblies for municipal electrical infrastructure, ensuring uninterrupted power distribution while complying with municipal supply chain governance, electronic submission mandates, and national preferential procurement regulations.

Scope

The tender covers the supply and delivery of one hundred (100) units of bolt-on suspension assemblies tailored for medium-voltage aerial bundled cables. Bidders must submit responses exclusively through the municipality’s online portal, maintain quoted pricing validity for at least thirty days, and complete registration on the Nelson Mandela Bay Supplier Database prior to contract award. Following the closing date, the municipality may request product samples or technical brochures; failure to provide these within three working days (or an alternative written timeframe) will result in bid exclusion. All submissions must clearly declare brand names and adhere to the General Conditions of Tender and Conditions of Purchase.

Technical Requirements

  • Product Type: Bolt-on suspension assemblies
  • Cable Compatibility: Designed for Medium Voltage Aerial Bundled Cables (MV ABC) with conductor cross-sections between 70 mm² and 150 mm²
  • Fuse Link Specification: Must incorporate “S” type fuseable links compatible with Sicame TMBSU systems
  • Documentation & Verification: Clear brand identification required; samples or technical brochures must be submitted promptly upon post-closing request
  • Compliance Protocols: Strict adherence to online-only submission rules, thirty-day price validity, municipal supplier registration, and the Preferential Procurement Regulation of 2022

Skills Requirements

While the tender notice does not specify explicit personnel qualifications, successful bidders must demonstrate proven competency in electrical component manufacturing or authorized distribution, including experience with medium-voltage cable accessories. Required capabilities include quality assurance testing, bulk logistics coordination, timely sample provision, and familiarity with South African municipal procurement compliance frameworks. Suppliers should also possess the administrative capacity to navigate online tender portals and maintain accurate financial documentation for price validity periods.

Explanation of Technical and Regulatory Terms

  • MV ABC: Medium Voltage Aerial Bundled Cables are insulated overhead conductors used in urban and suburban electricity networks to reduce short-circuit risks and improve safety compared to bare conductors.
  • Bolt-on Type: A mounting design that secures directly to poles or structures using standardized bolts, eliminating welding or custom fabrication and enabling faster, safer installation.
  • “S” Type Fuseable Link: A specialized protective element engineered to isolate electrical faults in specific circuit layouts, commonly integrated into Sicame’s TMBSU (Tension Mounting Base Support Unit) hardware.
  • Sicame TMBSU: A proprietary tension-mounting system manufactured by Sicame, widely used in overhead line installations to secure and support bundled cable assemblies under mechanical stress.
  • 80/20 System: A preferential procurement policy mandated by South African law, reserving eighty percent of contract value for historically disadvantaged individuals or groups, with the remaining twenty percent open to broader market participation, in alignment with the Preferential Procurement Regulation of 2022.

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
