Objectives

The primary objective is to equip managers, supervisors, and team leaders within the Overberg District Municipality’s Roads Department with the competencies required to drive sustainable organisational performance. The training aims to clarify managerial roles, enhance operational planning, improve delegation and performance monitoring, and foster high-performing, cooperative teams. Ultimately, the intervention seeks to boost productivity, strengthen workplace motivation, and support long-term municipal growth through structured management development.

Scope of Work

The service provider must deliver a comprehensive supervisor management programme aligned with SAQA Unit Standards 15224 and 252035. The curriculum covers supervisory contexts, leadership fundamentals, management paradigm shifts, accountability, core management functions (planning, leading, organising, controlling), team dynamics, conflict resolution, delegation, feedback mechanisms, performance monitoring, financial and quality oversight, motivation strategies, workplace discipline, and personal professional development. Training must be contextualised for the roads construction environment and delivered in Afrikaans, English, and isiXhosa. Bidders must specify the maximum group size per session, total duration in days, training methodology, and all associated materials. All training activities must be completed by 15 February 2027. Upon conclusion, the provider must submit attendance registers and issue certificates of competence to successful learners.

Technical Requirements

Bidders must satisfy strict accreditation, compliance, and evaluation thresholds:

• Accreditation: The provider must hold valid accreditation from the Quality Council for Trades and Occupations (QCTO) or a relevant Sector Education and Training Authority (SETA). The QCTO is the national statutory body that oversees occupational qualifications and ensures training providers meet rigorous quality assurance standards.
• Curriculum Alignment: Training delivery and materials must map directly to the outcomes, assessment criteria, and credit values of Unit Standard 15224 (NQF Level 5, 4 credits) and Unit Standard 252035 (NQF Level 5, 8 credits). Proposals aligning with equivalent QCTO occupational part-qualifications are acceptable if they deliver equal or greater credit values.
• Assessment & Certification: The provider must evaluate candidates using Portfolios of Evidence (PoE), conduct internal moderation, and register competent learners on the National Learner Record Database (NLRD). The NLRD is the official government system that stores, verifies, and issues nationally recognised learner certifications.
• Evaluation Threshold: Bidders must achieve a minimum functionality score of 70 out of 100 points. Scoring considers language proficiency, material quality, prior experience, and adherence to municipal procurement rules.
• Compliance Documentation: Mandatory submissions include a valid Tax Compliance Status PIN, Central Supplier Database (CSD) registration, Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) verification certificate or sworn affidavit, certified municipal account statements, and fully executed standard bidding forms.

Skills Requirements

Service providers and their facilitators must demonstrate the following competencies:

• Multilingual Proficiency: Excellent command of at least two official South African languages (English, Afrikaans, isiXhosa) to ensure clear instruction and effective material delivery.
• Training Design & Delivery: Proven expertise in developing and facilitating management programmes that seamlessly integrate theoretical frameworks with practical, industry-specific applications.
• Assessment & Moderation: Certified capability to evaluate learner portfolios, administer competency-based assessments, perform internal moderation, and navigate the NLRD submission process accurately.
• Industry Contextualisation: Demonstrable familiarity with the roads construction sector to tailor scenarios, case studies, and performance metrics to real-world municipal operations.
• Project Management: Strong organisational, logistical, and communication skills to coordinate multi-depot sessions, manage resources efficiently, and guarantee full programme completion before the 15 February 2027 deadline.
