Objectives

The primary objective is to procure specialised training services for basic road marking and line painting using the roller and brush application method. The programme aims to equip learners with the theoretical knowledge and practical competencies required to execute road marking tasks safely, accurately, and in full compliance with municipal standards and occupational health regulations.

Scope

The service provider will design, develop, and deliver a complete training curriculum, including defined learning targets, course content, and scheduled duration. The scope encompasses classroom instruction, supervised practical exercises, and the issuance of laminated certificates of competence upon successful completion. Quotations must state pricing on a per-participant basis, with payment processed strictly according to verified attendance records. Training delivery must occur within fourteen days of receiving an official order. All quoted rates must remain valid for a minimum of ninety days from the closing date and until 30 June 2027. The municipality reserves the right to adjust participant quantities or cancel orders entirely.

Technical Requirements

• Comprehensive curriculum covering: introduction to road markings, surface preparation, equipment familiarisation (including measuring tools), line painting techniques, stencil application, paint application with thickness control, precision management, safety protocols, regulatory compliance, and hands-on practical application.
• Submission of three verifiable written references demonstrating at least four years of relevant experience; experience prior to 2015 will not be accepted.
• Detailed curriculum vitae for the lead facilitator confirming three to four years of direct experience facilitating this specific training module.
• Provision of laminated certificates of competence for all participants upon course completion.
• Mandatory submission of standard municipal bidding documentation, including Declaration of Interest, Preference Points Claim Form, and Certificate of Independent Bid Determination.
• All prices must be VAT-inclusive and clearly itemised per participant.

Skills Requirements

The successful bidder must demonstrate advanced instructional capability in manual road marking methodologies, specifically focusing on roller and brush techniques. Required competencies include expert knowledge of surface preparation standards, accurate measurement and stenciling procedures, controlled paint viscosity and thickness application, and strict adherence to occupational health and safety regulations. The lead facilitator must possess proven pedagogical experience in delivering vocational training, alongside hands-on industry expertise in municipal road maintenance practices. Participants will require foundational literacy and numeracy to comprehend technical specifications, safety guidelines, and quality control metrics.

Explanation of Unusual or Complex Terms

Payment on Actual Attendance: Unlike fixed-course contracts, remuneration is strictly calculated based on verified participant presence rather than a flat fee. This ensures cost efficiency and ties payment directly to delivered training hours.

Locality Preference Point System: An 80/20 preferential procurement model awards up to twenty points total (eighty for price, twenty for specific goals). Ten points are allocated for Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment status, while the remaining ten are awarded based on business location: ten points for entities operating within Saldanha Bay Municipality boundaries, five for the West Coast District, and two for other Western Cape locations. This mechanism prioritises local economic participation and supplier proximity.
