Steve Tshwete Local Municipality seeks two additional attorney firms for its legal services panel, to be engaged as and when required over 36 months. Closing date is 2 December 2026. Full requirements are in the advert.
Steve Tshwete Local Municipality has issued tender BS01/10/2026 to appoint two additional attorney firms to its existing panel for rendering legal services. Under a panel arrangement, the municipality does not guarantee a fixed volume or value of work. Instructions are issued as and when legal services are required, and the appointment runs for 36 months. Firms on the panel are typically engaged on a case-by-case basis for matters the municipality refers to them.
The tender was published on 2 November 2026 and closes on 2 December 2026. The supporting advert (Advert 1.pdf) was listed, but its content could not be extracted for this summary. The specific legal disciplines covered, minimum experience thresholds, evaluation criteria, pricing and fee requirements, and mandatory documents should therefore be confirmed directly in the advert before bidding. Prospective bidders should also note that the listing is marked as draft, so the final terms may still change.
For local government legal work, bidders commonly need to show current registration with the Legal Practice Council, valid tax compliance status, Central Supplier Database (CSD) registration, and B-BBEE documentation. Firms may also be asked to demonstrate relevant municipal, public sector, or administrative law experience, and to provide references and proposed fee structures. Appointment to a panel can provide a steady pipeline of public sector legal work over the three-year period, though the actual volume of instructions cannot be guaranteed.
Law firms and attorney practices registered with the Legal Practice Council that can demonstrate relevant experience in local government or public sector legal matters. Suitable firms are those with the capacity to take on instructions across the municipality's legal needs on a call-off basis, and that already meet standard South African public procurement requirements such as tax compliance, CSD registration, and B-BBEE status. Bidders should review the full advert to confirm the required legal disciplines and eligibility criteria.
