• Hydraulic system servicing, including pump, valve, cylinder, and hose replacement
• Drum, axle, bearing, and vibration mechanism maintenance
• Electrical and control panel troubleshooting
• Adherence to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) tolerances and South African occupational health and safety standards

• Workshop facilities equipped with calibrated diagnostic tools, lifting equipment, and test benches
• Documented track record of successfully completing similar municipal or private-sector equipment repair contracts

Evaluation & Compliance Framework

The tender follows a two-stage evaluation process:

• Stage One: Administrative compliance, including mandatory verification of tax good standing via the Central Supplier Database (CSD). Incomplete submissions will be deemed non-responsive.
• Stage Two: Scoring applies an 80/20 preference point system. Eighty points are allocated for price competitiveness, while twenty points are reserved for specific socio-economic goals (race, gender, and disability).

All bids must include completed municipal bidding declarations (MBD 4, MBD 6.1, MBD 8, MBD 9) and be submitted physically to the municipal tender box before the closing date. The municipality reserves the right to accept or reject any bid in whole or in part.

Explanation of Unusual or Complicated Terms

• 80/20 Preference Point System: A standard South African public procurement scoring model. Eighty percent of evaluation points are awarded based on price competitiveness, while twenty percent are allocated for transformation goals: 10 points for 100% black-owned enterprises, 5 points for 100% women-owned entities, and 5 points for businesses owned or managed by persons with disabilities. Points are only awarded if valid proof (e.g., CIPC certificates, ID documents, medical certificates) is submitted.
• CSD Verification: The Central Supplier Database is a national government registry used to confirm a supplier’s tax compliance and registration status. Registration is mandatory; failure to appear on the CSD results in automatic disqualification.
• MBD Declarations: Standardised municipal bidding forms requiring sworn statements regarding conflicts of interest, past supply chain misconduct, independent bidding practices, and preference claims. False declarations carry legal consequences, including contract cancellation, financial recovery, and potential ten-year procurement bans.
