Collection and Disposal of Used Fluorescent Tubes

Johannesburg Water SOC Ltd, a municipal entity of the City of Johannesburg, is requesting quotations (RFQ JW00100SM2026) for the collection, transport, recycling or disposal of used fluorescent tubes classified as hazardous waste. The requirement covers two line items: 94 units of T8 LED tubes (1.2 m, 18 W, 6500K) and 14 units of T8 fluorescent/LED tubes (22 W, 6500K, 2200 lm). Collection takes place at the Fennell Road Depot, Flow Laboratory. The service must be delivered in line with hazardous waste handling requirements, with the successful supplier responsible for safe collection, transport, and final recycling or disposal of the tubes.

The key compliance requirement is a valid Transporter Certificate of Registration issued by the Gauteng Department of Economic Development (GDE) through the Gauteng Waste Information System (GWIS), which must specifically state that the registration covers hazardous waste. A waste manifest and a disposal certificate must be provided after disposal, and the manifest and disposal certificate must be submitted with the quotation. Mandatory documents with the quote include a valid Tax Clearance Certificate or SARS PIN, a valid B-BBEE certificate or a sworn affidavit compliant with B-BBEE Practice Guide 01 of 2018 (non-compliant affidavits score zero), a municipal rates and taxes compliance letter (no more than 90 days in arrears), MBD 4 (Declaration of Interest), MBD 6.1 (Preference Points Claim Form), MBD 8 (Declaration of Past SCM Practices), MBD 9 (Certificate of Independent Bid Determination), proof of CSD registration, and company registration documents with ID copies of directors or shareholders. Bidders must also complete the pricing schedule and specification compliance details, including brand and model, country of origin, and any deviations. Where applicable, a signed joint venture agreement must be included.

Quotations must be submitted on company letterhead as PDF files only (Word, Excel and image files are not accepted) through the National eTenders Portal (etenders.gov.za). Prices must be firm, must include all applicable taxes (failure to include VAT results in disqualification), and must include all delivery costs to the prescribed destination. Offers must remain valid for 60 days from the closing date. Evaluation follows the 80/20 preference point system, with 80 points for price and 20 points for specific goals under the PPPFA 2022, namely B-BBEE ownership. Bidders should also be registered on the Central Supplier Database (CSD). The closing date is 12 November 2026 at 16:00, and late submissions will not be accepted. Queries can be directed to Simphiwe Mdlalose (Supply Chain Management, 011 688 1825) or Caroline Dlamini (End User Department, 011 689 9176).

For the successful supplier, this contract offers a structured municipal engagement with a public utility, a defined scope of work, and clear documentary requirements. Winning bidders will support Johannesburg Water's compliance with hazardous waste legislation through documented chain-of-custody, lawful transport, and verified disposal or recycling of fluorescent and LED lighting waste.
