Design and Layout Services NEW

The Department of Land Reform and Rural Development (DLRRD) is seeking to appoint a professional service provider to deliver design and layout services for a period of twelve (12) months. The request for quotation (RFQ), reference 5/2/1/1/2026-2027-116, is issued under the government price quotation process and is categorised as Professional Services. The supporting document does not set out detailed design deliverables, a fixed scope of work, or a contract value, so interested bidders should review the full RFQ specifications and any pricing schedule carefully before responding. Bidders should also confirm the type of design and layout work required, such as spatial, interior, graphic, or publication design, before preparing a quotation.

Responses must be submitted on the official Standard Bidding Documents (SBD forms) and must not be retyped. The required documents are: the quotation or proposal; completed SBD 1, SBD 3.3 (pricing schedule), SBD 4, and SBD 6.1; a valid Tax Compliance Certificate (TCC) or Tax Compliance Status PIN; CIPC or company registration documents; a copy of the identity document of the authorised signatory; and the latest full Central Supplier Database (CSD) report. Quotations must be placed in a sealed envelope marked with the description and file number and deposited in the Quotation Box at 600 Lillian Ngoyi, Berea Park, Pretoria Central, by 11:00 on 27 November 2026. Late submissions will, as a rule, not be accepted. Quotations remain valid for 90 days from the closing date. Technical enquiries should be directed to Ms Dorethea Samaai, and bid-related enquiries to Ms Sando Nkwana or Ms Beauty Dhlomo.

The 80/20 preference point system applies, allocating 80 points to price and 20 points to specific goals. Specific goals include HDI ownership (10 points), female ownership (5 points), disability ownership (2 points), and youth ownership (3 points), each supported by the documents listed in the RFQ. Bidders must hold a valid tax compliance status, be registered on the CSD, and not be persons in the service of the state or have directors who are. Subcontracting limits apply to bidders claiming HDI-related points, with no more than 25% of the contract value to be subcontracted to enterprises that do not qualify for equivalent points. Non-compliance with the mandatory submission requirements may result in disqualification. The procuring entity is not liable for bid preparation costs, and the General Conditions of Contract (GCC) govern the relationship. For a government contract of this kind, the benefits include a 12-month engagement with a national department, payment within 30 days of a valid invoice under GCC clause 16.3, and the opportunity to build a track record in public sector work.
