Supply of Wheeled Waste Bins

Pikitup Johannesburg SOC Ltd, the City of Johannesburg's waste management entity, has issued tender PU162/2026 for the appointment of a service provider to supply, deliver and offload high-density polyethylene (HDPE) wheeled waste bins. The contract covers 240-litre bins, used by residential and commercial clients for refuse storage until collection, and 140-litre bins, used for school and institutional waste minimisation projects, street cleaning and recycling. Supply is on an as-and-when-required basis over 36 months from the date of appointment, with deliveries made to Pikitup Roodepoort Central Stores, 10 Granville Road, Lea Glen.

Technical requirements are detailed. All bins must comply with SANS 1494:2014 and be manufactured from virgin, UV-stabilised HDPE with a consistent 5 mm wall thickness, reinforced lifting lips, injection-moulded lids, hubs and hinge pins, and solid pressed-rubber tyres on galvanised, chrome-plated steel axles. The 240-litre bin is approximately 1080 mm high, 580 mm wide and 15 kg, in charcoal (domestic) or green (commercial). The 140-litre bin is approximately 1060 mm high, 472–482 mm wide and 11.2 kg, in blue, green, red or yellow. Bins must carry the letters PIKITUP, sequential serial numbers, and no bidder branding. Warranty must cover material and workmanship defects, and the bidder must provide a quality control plan. Deliveries must be stacked in batches of ten, accompanied by delivery notes, a hard-copy serial-number list and an Excel serial-number file, and completed before the 12:00 cut-off. The supplier must also provide 10 spare bins and one hundred spare wheels per 3,000 bins delivered.

Tender evaluation uses a 90/10 price and preference system. Bidders must reach a minimum functionality score of 70 out of 100, assessed on relevant bin-supply experience (40 points), delivery lead time (20 points), financial capability based on liquidity and return-on-assets ratios (20 points) and warranty period (20 points). Specific-goal preference points cover black and women ownership, SMME status and location, with Johannesburg-based companies scoring highest. Shortlisted bidders must supply one 240-litre and one 140-litre sample with SANS compliance certificates. A non-compulsory virtual information session is scheduled for 3 November 2026, and bids close on 23 November 2026 at 11:00 in the Pikitup tender box at Jorissen Place, Braamfontein. Bids must be valid for 180 days. Bidders should be aware that the tender is subject to a scam alert: Pikitup does not charge for documents or CSD registration, and bribery requests should be reported to the relevant authorities.
