Tender Summary

Objectives

The primary objective of this tender is to secure a qualified contractor to enhance agricultural infrastructure at the Dohne Agricultural Development Institution. The project aims to improve climate control for an existing hydroponics facility and establish a reliable irrigation network to support crop production, research, and institutional farming operations.

Scope of Work

The contract comprises two integrated deliverables:

  • PVC Sheeting Installation: Supply, delivery, and professional installation of weatherproof PVC sheeting over an existing 30-metre by 10-metre hydroponics structure.
  • Irrigation System Deployment: Supply and installation of a complete irrigation system at the Dohne A.D.I site, including all necessary piping, pumps, controls, and distribution components.

All materials must be delivered to the designated site, and installation must be completed in accordance with approved specifications, ensuring functionality, durability, and compliance with agricultural best practices.

Technical Requirements

  • Tenderers must hold a minimum CIDB contractor grading of 1CE or higher.
  • Preference points will be awarded to bidders who specifically possess a 1CE grading.
  • All works must comply with relevant South African National Standards (SANS) for civil works, plumbing, and electrical installations.
  • Contractors must demonstrate adherence to occupational health and safety legislation, environmental management protocols, and quality assurance procedures throughout the project lifecycle.

Skills Requirements

While not explicitly itemised in the tender notice, the successful bidder must possess demonstrable expertise in agricultural infrastructure development. Essential competencies include structural assembly and waterproofing, hydroponic system maintenance, hydraulic design and pump installation, irrigation control integration, and site supervision. Proven experience in executing similar small-to-medium scale agricultural projects is required to ensure timely, safe, and technically sound delivery.

Explanation of Key Terms

CIDB Grading 1CE: The Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) grading system classifies contractors based on financial capacity, project complexity, and risk exposure. A 1CE grade authorises contractors to undertake civil engineering projects with a current contract value up to R1 million. It verifies that the contractor has the necessary managerial, technical, and financial resources to deliver small-scale infrastructure safely and efficiently.

Hydroponics Structure: A controlled-environment agricultural facility where plants are cultivated without soil, relying on nutrient-rich water solutions. The 30x10 designation refers to the physical footprint in metres. The PVC sheeting serves as a protective canopy to regulate temperature, humidity, and light penetration, creating optimal growing conditions.

Irrigation System: A engineered network of pipes, valves, pumps, and emitters designed to deliver precise volumes of water to targeted areas. Installation requires hydraulic calculations, pressure testing, leak prevention measures, and integration with existing water sources to ensure efficient water usage and crop viability.

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
