Tender Summary

Tender Summary

Objectives

The primary objective of this tender is to secure a qualified contractor to supply, deliver, and replace the battery banks for the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) system located in the VES room. This ensures continuous, reliable power protection for critical departmental equipment and prevents operational disruptions during electrical outages.

Scope of Work

The successful tenderer will be responsible for the end-to-end execution of the UPS battery replacement project. This includes:

  • Procurement of compatible, specification-compliant UPS batteries.
  • Safe transportation and delivery to the designated site.
  • Controlled removal and decommissioning of existing depleted batteries.
  • Installation, wiring, and integration of new battery units into the existing UPS architecture.
  • System testing, commissioning, and verification of backup performance.
  • Compliance with all safety, environmental, and electrical standards governing battery handling and disposal.

Technical Requirements

  • Minimum CIDB contractor grading of 1EB or higher.
  • Adherence to all technical specifications, sizing, voltage, and capacity parameters detailed in the official tender documentation.
  • Strict compliance with prescribed tender submission protocols, including proper sealing, addressing, and timely physical delivery.
  • Provision of documented evidence demonstrating prior experience with similar UPS battery replacement or electrical infrastructure projects.

Skills Requirements

  • Holders must possess a valid Trade Test certificate in Electrical engineering or installation.
  • Must demonstrate verifiable, hands-on experience in executing comparable electrical maintenance and UPS system projects.
  • Personnel must be competent in safely managing high-capacity battery systems, performing electrical isolation procedures, and conducting post-installation load testing.

Explanation of Key Terms

CIDB Grading 1EB: A South African Construction Industry Development Board classification system. Grade 1 indicates eligibility for lower-value contracts, 'E' denotes electrical specialization, and 'B' specifies the approved financial threshold bracket for the contractor's category.

Trade Tested (Electrical): A nationally recognized certification confirming that an individual has completed rigorous practical and theoretical training in electrical trades, legally authorizing them to perform certified electrical installations, maintenance, and fault diagnosis.

VES Room: Typically stands for Vital Equipment Space or Video/Electrical Services room. This is a dedicated facility housing mission-critical IT, communications, or power infrastructure that requires uninterrupted operation and controlled environmental conditions.

UPS System Batteries: Backup energy storage units (commonly Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid or Lithium-ion) that instantly supply emergency power during grid failures. Their replacement requires specialized handling due to chemical hazards, precise electrical matching, and strict safety protocols to prevent short circuits, thermal events, or system incompatibility.

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
