Invitation for emerging contractors to provide labor and materials for constructing low-income housing units and related civil works in the Knysna Municipal Area over a 15-month period.
The Knysna Municipality is seeking expressions of interest from emerging contractors for the construction of low-income housing units, including double-storey and single-storey homes, as well as semi-detached options. The scope of work encompasses not only the construction of housing units (ranging from 24m² to 48m²) but also includes the installation of retaining walls, platforming, minor concrete and civil works, and the removal of asbestos roofing. This project aims to address housing shortages in the area while providing opportunities for emerging contractors to participate in significant community development initiatives.
Contractors will be appointed for a period of 15 months, with a maximum of 21 contractors selected based on their B-BBEE level of contribution and functionality scores. Bidders must achieve a minimum of 70 out of 110 points for functionality to qualify. The tender emphasizes the importance of local participation and aims to uplift emerging contractors by providing them with the necessary experience and exposure in the construction industry. Interested parties should ensure they meet the specified requirements and attend the compulsory clarification meeting to gain insights into the project expectations and submission guidelines.
This tender is suitable for emerging construction firms, particularly those with experience in residential building, civil works, and asbestos removal. Businesses looking to expand their portfolio and contribute to community development in the Knysna area are encouraged to apply.
