• Fulfillment of dual guarantee periods: three months for all labour, servicing, and consumable materials, and twelve months for the new gate structure and installed components, covering defects, malfunctions, and workmanship failures.

Technical Requirements

• Material Specification: The gate must be constructed from either galvanised structural steel or high-grade aluminium Ta6000.
• Dimensions: Custom-fabricated to fit a frame opening measuring 810 mm × 2000 mm.

Skills and Qualification Requirements

• Mandatory Grading: Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) grading of 1 GB is compulsory for bid consideration.
• Technical Expertise: Demonstrated capability in structural metalwork, aluminium fabrication, precision fitting, and secure locking mechanism integration.

• 80/20 Preference Point System: A government procurement evaluation model where 80 points are awarded based on competitive pricing, and 20 points are allocated to designated socio-economic goals. In this tender, the goal awards full points to enterprises with at least 51% Black ownership.
• Split Guarantee Period: The contract distinguishes between short-term liability for labour/consumables (three months) and extended coverage for core hardware (twelve months), ensuring prolonged protection for the primary asset while limiting ongoing service obligations.
