Development of Community Rural Parks NEW

Greater Tzaneen Municipality in Limpopo invites bids under tender reference SCMU 32/2026 for the appointment of a service provider to develop two community rural parks within its jurisdiction. The project covers the development of public recreational spaces intended for community use, and the contract period is three months from appointment. The advert is one of three bids published together in the October 2026 round (the others being SCMU 31/2026 for the supply and delivery of lawnmowers and tractor-mounted slashers, and SCMU 33/2026 for re-grassing Nkowankowa Stadium and installing an irrigation system). Detailed technical specifications and drawings are contained in the bid documents, which are obtainable from the municipal website (www.greatertzaneen.gov.za), eTenders, or the Supply Chain Management Office upon payment of a non-refundable fee of R700.00 by EFT or at the Revenue Offices, Civic Centre, Agatha Street.

Evaluation is conducted in two stages. In the first stage, bids are assessed on functionality out of 100 points: company work experience (30 points), key personnel and their qualifications (30 points), proof of company or director registration with the South African Landscape Institute (SALI) (30 points), and a health and safety plan for the project (10 points). Bidders must meet the minimum functionality threshold to proceed. The second stage applies the 80/20 preference point system, with 80 points allocated to price and 20 points to specific goals. Bidders must submit proof of tender document purchase, proof of company work experience, key personnel CVs and qualifications, the project health and safety plan, and SALI registration. A compulsory briefing session and site inspection take place on 29 October 2026 at 11:00 at the Old Fire Hall, Civic Centre, Tzaneen. Attendance is required to remain eligible.

Administrative requirements, where failure to submit may lead to disqualification, include a CIPC registration certificate, ID copies of all directors, the latest CSD registration summary report, a valid tax compliance status PIN or certificate, and a statement of municipal rates and taxes for the company and its directors (not older than three months, or a lease agreement if renting). Joint ventures must provide a signed joint venture agreement. Completed bids in sealed envelopes must be deposited in the bid box at the Tzaneen Civic Centre, Agatha Street, by 12:00 on 6 November 2026. For the project, the benefits to the community include improved public recreational infrastructure and local green space, and the appointment supports local economic development through the involvement of qualified service providers. Interested bidders should review the full bid documents, confirm their SALI registration and compliance status well in advance, and direct administrative enquiries to Mrs Z. Ramothwala at 015 307 8082 or Mr Misunwa MT at extension 8157.
