Supply, manufacture and installation of six metal carports (5.25m x 2.5m) with priming, painting and roof sealing, plus site preparation and safety works at an airport control centre in Richards Bay. Bidders need CIDB GB 2GB or higher and two recent client reference letters.
Air Traffic and Navigation Services SOC Ltd (ATNS) is inviting bids from suitably qualified service providers for the installation of metal carports at its Air Traffic Control Centre at Richards Bay Airport, KwaZulu-Natal. The Request for Quotation (Reference ATNS/RFQ/01/2026/03/CARPORT INSTALLATION_FARB_RE) covers the complete delivery of the works, from initial site establishment through to final installation, and is structured as a priced Bill of Quantities. The contractor must provide all manufacturing, delivery and installation costs, with rates quoted VAT inclusive.
The scope of work includes: a site establishment and safety bill (safety file, temporary hoarding to prevent overspray, material storage lockup, signage restricting access to areas not ready for use, first aid provision, and road marking); site preparation (obtaining permits, gathering materials, levelling the ground, clearing the area and setting out the carport perimeters); and the carport installation itself. The main installation requirement is six metal carports, each measuring 5.25m x 2.5m, with a 25cm overhang already included in the length. Each carport must receive full metal priming and painting, a roof seal, and side cladding at both ends extending approximately 1.5m down from the roof. The scope also includes the installation of anti-slip grip on the staircase edges at the Control Tower to improve personnel safety, and the supply and installation of a heavy-duty flush parking reservation lock (650mm x 110mm x 4mm). The works must comply with the Occupational Health and Safety Act, 1993 (Act No. 85 of 1993) and the Construction Regulations, 2014 (as amended). Materials or workmanship that do not conform to specification must be replaced at the contractor's cost without extending the contract period. Delivery is to 30 Fish Eagle Flight, Birdswood, Richards Bay, 3900.
Mandatory requirements are strict. Bidders must hold, or be capable of obtaining before evaluation, CIDB registration at grading 2GB or higher for General Building Works (GB), and must submit proof of registration or application. They must also provide at least two contactable reference letters, on the client's official letterhead, signed by an authorised representative, confirming carport installation or general building work completed within the past seven years. Letters of appointment, award notifications and contracts are not accepted in their place. Further compliance documents include a valid SARS Tax Compliance Status PIN (valid for 60 days from submission), a full CSD report, CIPC registration documents, a valid B-BBEE certificate or sworn affidavit (for EMEs and QSEs), and a valid COIDA Letter of Good Standing or registered mutual association policy. Bids are split into two parcels: administrative and mandatory requirements in Parcel A, and pricing and specific goals in Parcel B. Evaluation uses the 80/20 preference point system (80 points for price, 20 for specific goals). The closing date is 16 November 2026 at 11:00, and offers must remain valid for 60 days after closing. The contract value is not stated in the excerpt reviewed, but the 80/20 system indicates a total estimated value below R50 million including taxes.
This tender suits established construction and building contractors holding CIDB registration for General Building Works at grading 2GB or higher, or those who can show a credible application for that grading before evaluation. Businesses with experience in steel or metal carport fabrication, structural steel works, and painting or protective coatings are well placed to bid, as are companies that can supply two recent (within seven years) client reference letters for carport or general building projects. Contractors in KwaZulu-Natal, particularly Richards Bay, would have logistical advantages, though this is not a requirement. Small and medium enterprises should check their B-BBEE status, since it contributes 20 points under the 80/20 system. Businesses without the required CIDB grading, reference letters, or the full set of compliance documents (SARS PIN, CSD, CIPC, COIDA) should not apply, as missing items result in automatic disqualification.
