Objectives

The primary objective is to procure and deliver essential electrical components to support municipal infrastructure maintenance and operational continuity. The tender seeks qualified service providers capable of meeting strict technical specifications, adhering to municipal supply chain management regulations, and complying with national preferential procurement frameworks.

Scope

The tender covers the supply and delivery of four distinct product categories across two municipalities' operational sites:

• Outdoor LED Flood Lights: 20 units, complete with mounting brackets.
• 15 Amp Porcelain Fuses: 1,000 units, including Kit Kat style fuses with wire holders and fuse wire.
• I.P.C's: 1,200 units, specifically T.T.D. 401 F. model.
• J&P Dropout Fuse Elements: 200 units, rated at 8 Amp and 11,000 Volts.

All deliveries must align with municipal operational requirements, and submissions must be processed exclusively through the designated electronic procurement system.

Technical Requirements

Tenderers must strictly adhere to the following specifications and compliance conditions:

• Flood Lights: AC 185–265V, 200W, 18,000 lumens, SMD2835 lamp type, aluminium alloy housing, 120° beam angle, 6000–6500K colour temperature, operating temperature range of –20°C to +50°C, IP66 ingress protection rating, black housing, and included mounting bracket.
• Fuses & Fuse Elements: Must match exact amperage, voltage, and dropout/cartridge specifications as listed. Brand names must be clearly stated on all quotations.
• General Compliance: Quotations must state the brand name of each quoted item. The municipality reserves the right to request physical samples. Failure to meet any minimum specification will render the tender non-responsive. All prices must remain valid for a minimum of thirty days from the submission date. Suppliers must be successfully registered on the municipal supplier database prior to contract award.

Skills Requirements

While not explicitly enumerated, successful bidders must demonstrate:

• Proven capability to source, verify, and deliver specialized electrical components matching exact municipal specifications.
• Familiarity with public sector procurement compliance, including electronic tender submission protocols and record-keeping.
• Ability to provide accurate technical documentation, brand verification, and sample products upon request.
• Understanding of municipal supply chain directives and preferential procurement scoring mechanisms.

Notes on Specialized Terms

80/20 Preferential Procurement System: A scoring methodology where eighty percent of evaluation points are allocated to price competitiveness, and twenty percent are reserved for socio-economic development goals, such as transformation status and local enterprise participation.

J&P Dropout Fuse Elements: High-voltage protective devices used in overhead electrical networks. When an overload occurs, the fuse element melts and the carrier physically drops away, isolating the fault and signaling replacement is needed.

Kit Kat Fuses: Standard low-voltage cartridge fuses housed in porcelain or plastic bodies, widely used in industrial control panels and commercial electrical distributions for circuit protection.

I.P.C's (T.T.D. 401 F.): Referenced as a specific municipal inventory code/model for electrical components. Bidders must quote the exact model designation to ensure compatibility with existing municipal systems.
