Tender Summary

Tender Summary: Routine Road Maintenance - Construction

Objectives

To engage a qualified and compliant contractor to deliver scheduled construction-based maintenance services across designated national route corridors in the Eastern Cape Province. The primary goal is to preserve road structural integrity, ensure commuter and freight safety, prevent premature pavement deterioration, and maintain optimal network functionality through proactive, routine interventions.

Scope

The tender covers three distinct contract packages spanning multiple national routes within the Amathole and OR Tambo District Municipalities:

Package X.003-081-2024/1R: Maintenance along National Route N6 (Section 3, KM 8.04 to 58.86), R61 (Sections 5 to 6, KM 0.25 to 92.78), R67 (Sections 4 to 5, KM 43.43 to 33.21), and R58 (Section 7, KM 4.85 to 45.61).
Package X.003-083-2024/1R: Maintenance along National Route N2 (Sections 16 to 18, KM 31.26 to 28.91), N6 (Section 1, KM 30.18 to 50.38), and R63 (Section 16, KM 0.00 to 43.64).
Package X.003-084-2024/1R: Maintenance along National Route N2 (Sections 18 to 19, KM 28.91 to 78.45), R61 (Sections 6 to 8, KM 92.78 to 11.80), and R411 (Section 1, KM 0.00 to 75.40).

Work encompasses routine construction maintenance activities over the specified kilometre markers. The approximate construction period will be confirmed during the official project handover meeting.

Technical Requirements

Mandatory South African National Infrastructure Procurement (SNIP) / CIDB contractor grading of 8CE or higher.
Valid registration on the National Treasury Central Supplier Database (CSD).
Joint ventures are permitted, provided one partner qualifies as a Targeted Enterprise. Note: Such JV partners do not contribute toward subcontracting targets for Targeted Enterprises.
Strict compliance with issued tender documentation formats, sealing, addressing, and physical submission protocols. Electronic, telephonic, facsimile, or late submissions will be automatically rejected.
Adherence to all standard civil engineering construction specifications, quality control measures, and health and safety regulations detailed in the full tender package.

Skills Requirements

While specific skill matrices are detailed in the full tender documentation, the mandated CIDB 8CE grading inherently requires contractors to demonstrate:

Proven project management and site supervision capabilities for medium-to-large civil engineering works.
Qualified technical staff, including engineers, foremen, and quality assurance specialists familiar with road construction and maintenance standards.
Operational competence in executing routine roadworks, including earthworks, drainage rehabilitation, surface restoration, and traffic management planning.
Financial stability and access to appropriate plant, equipment, and materials to sustain continuous maintenance operations throughout the contract period.

Explanation of Key Terms

Routine Road Maintenance: Scheduled, recurring construction interventions (e.g., pothole patching, shoulder reconstruction, culvert clearance, surface dressing, and minor structural repairs) aimed at preserving pavement condition, extending asset lifespan, and ensuring safe travel conditions without undertaking major rehabilitation or new construction.
CIDB Grading 8CE: A South African infrastructure procurement classification denoting high-tier capability in Civil Engineering. Achieving this grade requires contractors to meet stringent thresholds regarding financial turnover, completed project history, specialized machinery, and senior technical personnel.
Targeted Enterprise: In the South African public procurement context, this refers to businesses owned and controlled by historically disadvantaged individuals or groups (including Black-owned, women-owned, youth-owned, or persons with disabilities enterprises) as recognized under Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE) legislation.
Central Supplier Database (CSD): A mandatory national registry managed by the National Treasury that verifies supplier legitimacy, tax compliance, and banking details before any government entity can award contracts or process payments.

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
