Tender Summary

Objectives

The primary objective of this tender is to procure and deliver road marking equipment to support municipal infrastructure maintenance and road safety operations. The municipality seeks to secure competitively priced, reliable machinery while ensuring strict adherence to national public procurement legislation, transformation targets, and ethical supply chain standards.

Scope

The scope encompasses the complete supply and delivery of road marking machines to the municipality. Evaluation will be conducted based on financial proposals, compliance with mandatory administrative and legal requirements, and achievement of designated socio-economic preference goals. Successful bidders will be bound by the municipality’s standard supply chain management policy, general conditions of contract, and delivery timelines.

Technical Requirements

• Equipment Type: Airless line striper road marking machine
• Specifications: 2.4 litres per minute (LPM) fluid output, single nozzle configuration, equipped with a Loncin G160F engine
• Quantity: Two (2) units
• Pricing: Unit and total prices must be provided, inclusive of VAT where applicable, and remain valid for a minimum of ninety days from the closing date
• Delivery & Compliance: Direct supply to the municipality, accompanied by all mandatory compliance documentation, and subject to standard municipal contract conditions

Skills Requirements

As this is a goods-supply tender rather than a service or installation contract, specific technical or operational skills are not mandated. However, bidders must demonstrate:

• Proven commercial capability to source, finance, and deliver industrial-grade road marking equipment
• Experience in fulfilling public sector procurement contracts and managing associated logistics
• Competence in preparing and submitting comprehensive compliance documentation, including tax clearance, supplier registration, and transformation certificates
• Financial stability and operational readiness to execute the order without delay or breach of contract terms

Explanation of Unusual or Complicated Terms

• 2% Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Levy: A mandatory contractual clause requiring a two percent deduction from every invoice submitted by the successful supplier. Recovered funds are allocated by the municipality to community development initiatives, including education, socio-economic empowerment, sports, arts, and support for marginalized populations. Bidders must incorporate this cost into their quoted rates.
• Preferential Procurement System (80/20 or 90/10): A South African public procurement evaluation model where scoring is divided between price (80 or 90 points) and socio-economic transformation goals (20 or 10 points). Additional points are awarded for demonstrating at least 51% black ownership and 51% female ownership, verified through certified BBBEE documentation or sworn affidavits.
• MBD Declarations: Standardized Municipal Bidding Documents mandated by South African law. These include declarations of interest (conflict of interest disclosure), preference point claims, past supply chain management conduct, and independent bid determination (anti-collusion certification). They ensure transparency, prevent favoritism, and verify that bidders have not engaged in fraudulent or restrictive trade practices.
• CSD Registration & Tax Compliance: Mandatory verification through the Central Supplier Database and SARS tax clearance systems. This confirms the bidder is legally registered, financially compliant, and eligible to enter into contracts with South African public entities.
