This tender invites bids for the hiring of construction graders and TLBs for use around Kowyn SAFCOL Plantations on a wet rate basis. Services are required as needed from February to March 2026.
The South African Forestry Company Limited is seeking qualified contractors to provide construction graders and TLBs (Tractor Loader Backhoes) for hire at the Kowyn SAFCOL Plantations. This tender operates on a wet rate basis, meaning that the hired machinery will come with operators and maintenance included. The services are required on an as-needed basis, allowing for flexibility in scheduling and usage depending on the operational demands of the plantations.
Contractors must ensure that all equipment meets safety and operational standards, and they must be prepared to mobilize their machinery quickly to respond to the needs of the plantation management. The duration of the contract will span from the tender's publication on February 19, 2026, until the closing date on March 9, 2026. This presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specializing in construction machinery rental to engage in a significant project that supports the forestry sector in South Africa.
Bidders should be aware of the importance of timely service delivery and the need for reliable equipment to ensure minimal disruption to plantation operations. The successful contractor will not only contribute to the efficiency of the SAFCOL Plantations but will also benefit from a potentially long-term partnership with a key player in the forestry industry.
This tender is suitable for businesses that specialize in the rental of construction machinery, particularly those with experience in providing graders and TLBs. Companies with a proven track record in the forestry or agricultural sectors are encouraged to apply, especially those that can offer timely and reliable service.
