This significant contract, valued over R10 million, aims to appoint one or more service providers, not exceeding three in total, for a period of 36 months. The initiative underscores the municipality’s commitment to infrastructure maintenance and asset preservation.
Tender Overview & Objective

The successful bidder(s) must ensure all work is backed by a ten-year guarantee, as specified in the scope.
Key Bidder Requirements & Eligibility
Prospective bidders must meet stringent criteria to be considered. A mandatory requirement is a valid CIDB (Construction Industry Development Board) contractor grading designation of 2SN or higher. Joint ventures are permitted, provided the lead partner meets the grading and a formal Joint Venture Agreement is submitted. Bidders must also be registered on the Central Supplier Database (CSD) at least seven days before the closing date and be fully tax compliant.
