Appointment of a contractor to construct a sports complex for Metsimaholo Local Municipality in the Free State. Bidders must hold CIDB grading 5CE or higher. Evaluation is 80/20 (price and locality/functionality), with a R600 bid fee.
Metsimaholo Local Municipality, through its Supply Chain Management Unit, is inviting competitive bids for the appointment of a contractor to construct the Refengkgotso Sport Complex. The project is a municipal civil engineering and construction assignment that will provide community sporting infrastructure in the Metsimaholo area of the Fezile Dabi District, Free State. The published advert identifies the works as construction of the sport complex under reference MLM 10/2026/27. The full technical scope, drawings, specifications, bills of quantities and project timelines are contained in the bid document, which is available from the SCM Office at 10 Firchardt Street, Sasolburg, and electronically from the eTenders Publication Portal (www.etenders.gov.za). Interested bidders should review these documents in full before submitting a bid.
Bidders must be registered with the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) at a minimum grading of 5CE (civil engineering) or higher. The tender is evaluated on an 80/20 preference point system. The 80 points are allocated to compliance, functionality and price, while the 20 points are allocated to locality, awarded as follows: 20 points for businesses located within Metsimaholo Local Municipality, 15 points for the Fezile Dabi District, 10 points for the Free State Province, and 5 points for businesses located outside the Free State boundaries. Bidders should ensure their registered address and supporting documentation clearly demonstrate their locality to claim these points. The bid fee is R600.00 and no compulsory briefing session is listed for this tender.
The advertised closing date is 6 November 2026 at 11:00, at the Finance Building, 2nd Floor Foyer. The eTenders listing shows a closing date of 9 November 2026, so bidders should verify the exact deadline in the official bid documents and on the eTenders portal before submitting. Technical enquiries can be directed to Ms N Gulukunqu at 016 973 8414. Bids that are incomplete, late, or that fail to meet the stated CIDB and compliance requirements are likely to be disqualified, so early preparation is recommended. Successful appointment offers a municipal construction contract with a clear public benefit, and it provides an opportunity for qualifying contractors, particularly those in the local municipality, district and province, to benefit from the locality preference points.
This tender suits CIDB-registered civil engineering and building contractors holding a grading of 5CE or higher, with experience in constructing public sports or community facilities. Local contractors based in Metsimaholo, the Fezile Dabi District or the Free State will benefit most from the locality points (20, 15 and 10 respectively), though contractors from elsewhere can also bid. Small and emerging contractors should check whether they meet the grading requirement before investing in a bid, and should consider joint ventures or subcontracting arrangements with higher-graded firms if needed. Businesses without civil engineering or construction capacity, or those not holding the required CIDB grading, should not apply.
