Printing of Safety Communication Materials

Air Traffic and Navigation Services SOC Ltd (ATNS), South Africa's state-owned provider of air navigation services, has issued Request for Quotation ATNS/RFQ01/11/2026/27/ATS for the appointment of a service provider to render printing services for safety communication materials. The procurement falls under Supplies: Stationery/Printing and supports ATNS's commitment to safety, which the organisation treats as non-negotiable in its operations. The published RFQ document sets out the administrative framework, bidding structure and compliance requirements, but the detailed print specifications, quantities and delivery schedules are not reproduced in the extracted text and should be confirmed in the full bid pack.

Bidders must submit their response in two parcels through the e-Tender system. Parcel A contains the administrative and mandatory requirements (Phase 1 and Phase 2 evaluation) and Parcel B contains pricing and specific goals (Phase 3 evaluation), using the SBD 3.1 pricing schedule. Mandatory requirements include a valid SARS Tax Compliance Status PIN, which must remain valid for 60 days from submission, or a Central Supplier Database (CSD) number where no PIN is available. Consortia, joint ventures and sub-contracting arrangements require a separate TCS PIN or CSD number for each party. Bidders must also complete the Invitation to Bid, Declaration of Interest (SBD 4), preference points claim form, and B-BBEE status level verification certificate or sworN affidavit (mandatory for EMEs and QSEs seeking preference points). Resellers and distributors must attach a valid OEM authorisation letter. Bids are evaluated under the 80/20 preference point system, with 80 points for price and 20 points for specific goals under the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act and the 2022 Preferential Procurement Regulations.

The contract will require the successful bidder to comply with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) for any personal information processed on ATNS's behalf, including notifying ATNS immediately of any data breach. Bids must be delivered to RFQs@atns.co.za by 11:00 on 13 November 2026, and late submissions will not be accepted. Technical enquiries may be directed to Zanele Mbiza at +27 11 607 1000 or Zanelemb@atns.co.za. Note that the tender status is currently listed as draft, so bidders should confirm the final publication status and any addenda before submitting.
