Objectives

The primary objective of this Request for Quotation (RFQ) is to procure a standardized set of hand and power tools required for the daily maintenance and operational tasks of a mechanical technician at Artscape’s facilities. The procurement seeks to secure cost-effective solutions while adhering to national public finance, transparency, and transformation legislation.

Scope

The scope covers the supply and delivery of nine specific tool items to Artscape’s premises at D.F. Malan Street, Foreshore, Cape Town. This is classified as a Goods quotation with an estimated value below R1,000,000.00. Suppliers are responsible for delivering all items in new, fully functional condition, ready for immediate deployment. The contract will be awarded to the responsive bidder achieving the highest total adjudication score based on price and statutory preference points.

Technical Requirements

Bidders must provide quotations for the following items, ensuring all specifications are met:

• 1x Toolbox
• 1x Cordless driver/hammer drill, inclusive of one battery and one charger
• 1x Masonry drill bit set
• 1x Micrometer (measuring range: 0–50mm)
• 1x Digital Vernier caliper

• 1x Portable rechargeable work light
• 1x File set with handles

All equipment must comply with relevant South African safety, quality, and electrical standards. Suppliers may specify preferred brands or models, provided they match or exceed the required technical specifications.

Skills Requirements

This tender pertains exclusively to the supply of goods rather than a service contract. Consequently, no specialized technical skills, trade qualifications, or service delivery competencies are required from the supplier. Standard commercial capabilities, including reliable stock holding, logistics coordination, timely delivery, and basic warranty support, are sufficient to fulfill the contract.

Key Terms & Compliance Framework

The tender operates under the standard South African government procurement framework. Key compliance elements include:

• 80/20 Preference Point System: Scoring allocates 80 points for price competitiveness and 20 points for Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) status levels. Points are calculated using a formula that rewards lower prices and higher B-BBEE ratings.
• Government Procurement General Conditions of Contract (GCC): All awarded contracts will be governed by the July 2010 GCC, which outlines standard payment terms, liability, dispute resolution, and performance obligations.
• Local Content Declaration: Standardized forms require bidders to calculate the percentage of locally produced versus imported content using prescribed formulas and official exchange rates. While included for compliance tracking, no mandatory minimum local content threshold is enforced for this specific tool list.
• Supply Chain Integrity Declarations: Bidders must certify independent bid determination, disclose past contractual performance issues, and confirm non-involvement in collusive bidding or corrupt practices.

All submissions must be completed accurately, signed, and stamped to avoid disqualification during adjudication.
