    The Marine Living Resources Fund (MLRF), a Schedule 3A public entity within the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (DFFE), has issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ0001311). This strategic procurement initiative seeks to appoint a suitably qualified service provider to supply and deliver safety protective clothing for the Fisheries Management branch, specifically supporting the West Coast Rock Lobster Section in Cape Town and surrounding areas.

    Scope of Supply

    • Supply and delivery of specified safety protective clothing as detailed in the attached Annexure A of the RFQ.
    • Delivery to the designated DFFE/MLRF facility at the Foretrust Building, Martin Hammerschlag Way, Foreshore, Cape Town, 8001.
    • Provision of firm pricing in South African Rand, inclusive of VAT and all applicable taxes.
    • Adherence to strict delivery timelines, as failure to deliver on agreed-upon dates may result in the cancellation of the Purchase Order.

    Mandatory Compliance Requirements

    To be considered responsive, bidders must meet stringent pre-qualification criteria. Essential submissions include:

    • Proof of valid registration on the National Treasury’s Central Supplier Database (CSD).
    • A current SARS Tax Compliance Status PIN, confirming that all tax matters are in order.
    • A formal written quotation on the company’s official letterhead, clearly indicating the brand, model, and country of origin of the proposed goods.
    • A completed breakdown quotation and a valid B-BBEE certificate or sworn affidavit to qualify for preference points.

    Evaluation Criteria

    Quotations will be evaluated in strict accordance with the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act (Act 5 of 2000) and the Preferential Procurement Regulations of 2022. The adjudication process utilizes the 80/20 preference point system:

    • 80 points are allocated for price competitiveness.
    • 20 points are awarded for specific transformation goals, including B-BBEE status level contribution.
      Bids will first be screened for administrative compliance and functionality before advancing to the price and preference evaluation stage.
