Tender Summary: Supply and Delivery of a CCTV Tester (RFQ063/2026)

1. Objectives

The primary objective of this tender, issued by Artscape (a Schedule 3A National Entity under the Public Finance Management Act), is to procure a specific CCTV tester unit. The process aims to select a qualified supplier through a competitive quotation process, ensuring value for money, compliance with government procurement regulations, and support for national development goals such as B-BBEE and local production.

2. Scope of Services

The scope is limited to the supply and delivery of one specific item:

• Product: CCTV Tester IP 9800 5IN1 + POE.
• Quantity: One (1) unit.
• Delivery Date: The goods are required by 04 September 2026.
• Delivery Location: D.F. Malan Street, Foreshore, Cape Town.

The contract will be awarded to the supplier with the highest total adjudication points, based on a combination of price (80 points) and specific goals (20 points).

3. Technical Requirements

The technical specification is specific and non-negotiable. The supplier must provide a "CCTV Tester IP 9800 5IN1 + POE". This is a specialized handheld test tool used by security system installers and technicians to install, maintain, and troubleshoot CCTV (Closed-Circuit Television) systems. The "5IN1" typically refers to its ability to test multiple camera types (e.g., Analog, HD-TVI, HD-CVI, AHD, and IP cameras). "POE" (Power over Ethernet) indicates the device can provide power to IP cameras over the network cable for testing purposes. The supplier must provide the brand and model in their quotation.

4. Skills and Administrative Requirements

While no specific technical skills are required to deliver the product, the bidding process demands strict compliance with a comprehensive set of administrative and legal declarations. The supplier must be a registered entity on the Central Supplier Database (CSD) and submit the following completed forms with their quotation:

• SBD4 (Bidder's Disclosure): Declares any relationship with state employees, conflicts of interest, and confirms no collusive bidding practices.
• SBD6.1 (Preference Points Claim Form): Used to claim preference points for B-BBEE status level. Points are awarded on a sliding scale (e.g., Level 1 = 20 points, Level 2 = 18 points, etc.).
• SBD6.2 (Declaration for Local Production and Content): A declaration regarding the local content of the product, calculated per SATS 1286:2011. The bidder must declare if the product has any imported content and provide the relevant exchange rates.
• SBD8 (Declaration of Bidder's Past SCM Practices): A questionnaire to confirm the bidder has not been restricted from doing business with the public sector or committed fraud.
• SBD9 (Certificate of Independent Bid Determination): A certificate confirming the bid was made independently and without collusion with competitors.

5. Evaluation Criteria

The tender is evaluated on a two-pronged system:

• Price (80 points): The lowest acceptable tender (Pmin) will receive the maximum 80 points. Other tenders will be scored using the formula: Ps = 80 x (1 - (Pt - Pmin) / Pmin).
• Specific Goals (20 points): Points are awarded based on the bidder's B-BBEE contributor status level.

6. Important Notes on Unusual Terms

• Local Content: The SBD6.2 form is a critical requirement. The bidder must be prepared to verify the local production percentage of the product. Failure to submit the required declaration templates (Annex C) can lead to disqualification.
• Collusive Bidding: The SBD9 form is a strict anti-rigging declaration. Any suspicion of collusion will be reported to the Competition Commission and may result in severe penalties, including being restricted from doing business with the public sector for up to 10 years.
• False Declarations: All declarations are legally binding. Submitting false information can lead to contract cancellation, recovery of damages, and criminal prosecution.
