Scope of Work

The scope covers the full construction and completion of single-storey, two-room residential units. This includes all necessary site preparation, building works, finishing, and ensuring the houses are habitable. Each project is a separate contract under the same tender framework, with specific wards and beneficiary families identified. The tender covers multiple sites across the municipality, with each site requiring a complete two-room house.

Technical Requirements

• Tender Document Purchase: Documents are available for a fee of R150.00 per project.
• Submission Format: Tenders must be in a sealed envelope, clearly marked with the tender number, project description, ward, and the name of the head of the household. The envelope must also include the bidder’s name and ownership details (for preferential procurement).
• Delivery: Envelopes must be deposited in the tender box at the Municipal Manager’s office before the closing date and time. Late tenders will not be considered.
• Administrative Compliance: Bidders must submit a valid tax clearance certificate, a CSD PIN (Central Supplier Database), a fully completed and signed tender document, and all required forms. Any missing or incomplete documentation will lead to immediate disqualification.
• Preferential Procurement: Ownership details must be clearly stated on the envelope to qualify for points under the PPPFA (Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act). Points are awarded for race (Black People – 5 points), gender (Women – 5 points), and disability (with a doctor’s note – 5 points).
• Site Briefing: The tender documents reference a municipal quantities site briefing and inspection – this is likely a mandatory pre-tender site visit to assess the locations and quantities.
