Appointment of a service provider to supply, deliver, install and commission a 4iR Centre of Excellence Lab at Leseding Technical High School in Thabong, Free State. A compulsory site inspection applies. Submissions close 24 November 2026.
The Goldfields TVET College, in collaboration with the Purchasing Consortium Southern Africa (PURCOSA), invites experienced service providers to tender for the appointment of a service provider to supply, deliver, install and commission a 4th Industrial Revolution (4iR) Centre of Excellence Lab at Leseding Technical High School, 10976 Constantia Road, Thabong. The project aims to establish a modern technology-enabled learning facility that supports skills development in emerging technologies for learners at the school. The tender is listed under Specialised Construction Activities on eTenders, so bidders should carefully review the scope of works, technical specifications and any construction-related requirements in the full tender document before submitting a proposal.
The scope covers the full turnkey delivery cycle: procurement and supply of specified laboratory equipment and related technologies, transport and delivery to the school, installation and fit-out of the facility, and commissioning to confirm that all systems operate as specified. Successful bidders will be expected to deliver work that meets the technical specifications in the tender documents and to coordinate with school management during installation so that teaching is minimally disrupted. Bidders should also account for any compliance, safety and handover obligations described in the tender documents.
A compulsory information session and site inspection will be held at Leseding Technical High School on 10 November 2026 at 10:00. Attendance is mandatory for a bid to be considered. Tender documents are available for a non-refundable fee of R1,150.00 (VAT included) through the PURCOSA website (www.purcosa.co.za) and can be downloaded only from 1 November 2026 after payment is completed. Electronic submissions must be made via the PURCOSA Supplier Hub, with a closing date of 24 November 2026 at 11:00. Technical enquiries may be directed to Ms. Nyiko Sithole (011 545 0943, nyiko.sithole@purcosa.co.za), and document enquiries to Ms. Zandile Nceka (011 545 0959, zandile.nceka@purcosa.co.za). Only shortlisted tenderers will be contacted, and bidders not contacted within 30 days of the closing date should consider their proposals unsuccessful. The college does not undertake to accept the lowest bid and applies the Preferential Procurement Policy on Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE).
This tender suits suppliers of laboratory and educational technology equipment, ICT and electronics integrators, robotics and automation providers, and engineering firms with experience in technical training facilities. Specialist construction or electrical contractors with school fit-out experience may also be suitable, particularly if the scope includes building or electrical works. Businesses should confirm any CIDB grading or registration requirements in the tender documents. B-BBEE-compliant and small or local enterprises are encouraged to apply, given the procurement policy stated in the advert. Bidders must be able to attend the compulsory site inspection on 10 November 2026.
