ORBIT TVET College has issued an open tender (R01/2026) for the appointment of a competent and capable service provider to render comprehensive cleaning services at its Rustenburg Campus. This strategic 36-month contract, with a potential two-year renewal option, aims to maintain a hygienic, safe, and conducive learning environment for the campus’s approximately 3,000 students, 150 staff members, and daily visitors.

Scope of Services

The successful bidder will be responsible for the end-to-end provision of cleaning solutions across various campus facilities, including offices, classrooms, workshops, ablution facilities, mobile classrooms, and the student recreation hall. Key operational deliverables include:

  • Provision of all necessary labour, cleaning chemicals, and cleaning equipment.
  • Execution of cleaning services from Monday to Saturday, between 06:00 and 19:00, as per an approved timetable.
  • Deployment of a dedicated cleaning supervisor and staff, with preference given to personnel holding First Aid or Firefighting skills.
  • Implementation of a robust contingency plan to ensure uninterrupted service delivery during labour strikes, disruptions, or staff shortages.
  • Weekly on-site inspections by the service provider’s manager to ensure quality assurance.

Mandatory Compliance Requirements

To be considered responsive, bidders must submit a complete and compliant documentation package. Essential submissions include:

  • A valid Central Supplier Database (CSD) registration report reflecting an active MAAA status.
  • A current SARS Tax Compliance Status (TCS) PIN.
  • A valid Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) certificate or sworn affidavit.
  • Proof of accreditation with the National Contract Cleaners Association (NCCA).
  • Proof of financial capacity, specifically a bank rating not older than three months.
  • Proposed job descriptions for the cleaning supervisor and deployed staff.

Evaluation Criteria

Proposals will undergo a rigorous, multi-stage evaluation process. Bidders must first achieve a minimum functionality threshold to advance. The functionality assessment evaluates the skills profile of the proposed team, NCCA accreditation, strike contingency planning, job descriptions, and financial capacity. Qualifying bids will then be adjudicated using the 80/20 preference point system. Eighty points are allocated for price competitiveness, while 20 points are awarded for specific goals, with significant weighting given to companies located within the townships or remote areas of the North West Province, particularly within the local municipality where the services are required.
