Key Procurement Terms & Explanations

80/20 Preference Point System: An evaluation framework where 80 points are awarded based on the lowest acceptable price, and 20 points are reserved for specific goals. In this tender, the 20 points are exclusively allocated to enterprises that manufacture or produce the goods within KwaZulu-Natal, incentivising local economic participation.

Strict Submission Protocol: Quotations must be physically dropped into the designated tender box before the closing time. Electronic submissions via email, fax, or online portals are explicitly prohibited and will be automatically disqualified.

Declaration of Interest (SBD 4): Bidders must formally disclose any personal, familial, or business relationships with any employee of the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Health, regardless of the specific hospital or division. Undisclosed relationships are treated as false declarations, resulting in immediate disqualification.

Cover-Quoting Prohibition: Submitting multiple quotations through affiliated, subsidiary, or personally linked entities to artificially influence pricing or win awards is classified as collusive fraud. Such practices trigger automatic disqualification and may result in a ten-year restriction from all public sector contracts.

Delay Penalties & Termination Rights: Late deliveries incur daily financial penalties calculated at the prevailing prime interest rate applied to the delayed portion of the contract value. The purchaser retains the right to terminate the agreement for default, purchase substitute goods at the supplier's expense, claim damages, or impose temporary procurement bans for serious breaches.
