Supply and Delivery of Yellow Plant (3-Year Panel) NEW

Merafong City Local Municipality is inviting bids to appoint a panel of service providers for the supply and delivery of yellow plant over a three-year period. Yellow plant refers to heavy earthmoving and construction equipment, which typically includes items such as TLBs, excavators, graders, dozers, rollers, and tipper trucks. The contract operates on an as-and-when-required basis, so the municipality will call on panel members to supply equipment according to project needs rather than committing to fixed volumes. Successful panel members will therefore need to be ready to mobilise equipment at short notice across the municipal area. The detailed equipment specifications, quantities, and delivery requirements are set out in the bid documents, which bidders should review carefully before submitting a response.

The bid is evaluated in two stages. The first stage checks compliance with mandatory requirements, and the second stage assesses functionality, where a minimum score of 70 out of 100 is needed to proceed to price and specific goals evaluation. Scoring follows the 80/20 preference point system, with 80 points allocated for price and 20 points for specific goals. Mandatory requirements include registration on the Central Supplier Database (CSD) with a valid CSD report, company registration documents (CK1 and CK forms), and a municipal rates and taxes account for the company and its directors that is not in arrears for more than 90 days. If the municipal account is not in the company's name, a lease agreement with proof of payment for the last three months from the bank must be submitted instead. Businesses operating from residential premises must also provide an affidavit. Bidders must disclose any family or business relationships with government officials, and any ownership interests held by directors or shareholders in other related companies. Failure to disclose these will result in disqualification. Bid documents cost R1,486.09 (VAT inclusive), payable as a non-refundable fee, and proof of payment must be attached to the bid. Documents can be collected from the SCM offices in Carletonville or obtained electronically via the eTenders portal or the municipal website. There is no compulsory briefing session. The bid notice gives a closing date of 10 December 2026 at 10:00 at the SCM Unit, while also stating that the bid box is open until 16:00, so bidders should confirm the exact deadline with the buyer. Bids must be submitted in a sealed envelope, endorsed with the bid number and description, and must be on the original municipal documentation. Late, incomplete, unsigned, pencilled, or faxed or emailed bids will not be accepted. Bids remain valid for 90 working days, and the municipality reserves the right not to accept the lowest bid.
