Objectives

The primary objective is to procure and deliver high-quality protective boiler work suits to maintenance personnel at Greytown Hospital. The procurement ensures staff safety, maintains operational efficiency, and supports local economic development through compliant preferential procurement practices aligned with national policy frameworks.

Scope

This is a one-off supply contract for fifteen (15) pairs of navy blue boiler work suites (jacket and trousers). The scope encompasses sourcing, manufacturing or stocking, packaging, and delivery to Greytown Hospital's designated site. The contract requires firm pricing with a ninety-day validity period, inclusion of all transport and handling costs, and provision of multiple sizes to accommodate different staff measurements. Successful bidders must deliver new, unused products that meet or exceed the prescribed quality standards.

Technical Requirements

• Material & Construction: 100% polycotton twill fabric, navy colour, featuring concealed YKK zippers, large front pockets, side slits, and hook-and-loop closures.
• Compliance & Standards: Must be SABS-approved and fully conform to the attached specification annexure. Bidders must confirm compliance on official returnable forms.
• Condition & Validity: Products must be brand new, unused, and valid for a minimum of six months upon delivery. Second-hand, refurbished, or expired stock is strictly prohibited.
• Packaging & Delivery: All logistics, freight, and delivery expenses must be embedded in the quoted unit price. Goods must be delivered to the hospital's maintenance department.
• Samples: Physical samples are required upon contract award for verification against specifications before bulk delivery.
• Pricing Structure: Firm, fixed prices are mandatory. Value Added Tax (VAT) applies only if the bidder is a registered vendor, and must be clearly stated.

Skills Requirements

No specialized technical or professional skills are mandated, as this is a standard goods supply contract. Bidders must demonstrate baseline commercial and logistical capabilities, including reliable inventory management, established distribution networks, and the capacity to fulfill a once-off order within agreed timelines. Compliance with statutory procurement requirements is essential, including active Central Supplier Database (CSD) registration, valid tax clearance status, and documented Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) level verification or sworn affidavit.
