Supply and Delivery of Refuse Containers and Skip Bins

Alfred Duma Local Municipality, based in Ladysmith in KwaZulu-Natal, has invited bids under reference CSS 01/2026 for the appointment of a service provider to supply and deliver refuse containers and skip bins. The tender covers three product lines: two 30m³ open-top roll-on/off refuse containers with a payload capacity of 14,000 kg each (quantity 2), seven 10m³ open-top roll-on/off refuse containers with a payload capacity of 8,000 kg each (quantity 7), and fifteen 1.75m³ mobile refuse containers with a payload capacity of 2,000 kg each (quantity 15). All units must be constructed from 4mm mid-steel and finished in green. The roll-on/off units must be suitable for roll-on trucks, while the mobile refuse containers must be hookable by compactor trucks.

The municipality has made a compulsory briefing session and site inspection mandatory for prospective bidders. It takes place on Monday, 16 November 2026 at 10:00 at the Legal Services Boardroom, Lister Clarence Building, 221 Murchison Street, Ladysmith. Bids must be submitted on the official forms without bidder-specific qualifying conditions, and must be fully completed and signed, as failure to comply may invalidate the bid. Bidders must also provide proof of tax compliance (SARS arrangements, MBD 2), complete the declaration of interest questionnaire (MBD 4), and certify that they have no outstanding debts to the municipality or any other municipality or service provider. The tender is evaluated on the 80/20 preference point system, with up to 20 points available under the specific goals, which include points for bidders able to prove that they are located within the Alfred Duma Local Municipal area through proof of address.

The contract supports the municipality's refuse collection and waste management operations by providing durable, standardised containers for household, commercial, and bulk waste handling. Successful suppliers will gain a significant municipal contract and the opportunity to build a long-term relationship with a local authority. Please note that the listing's category is recorded as "Manufacture of basic metals," while the scope is the supply of fabricated steel containers, so bidders in metal fabrication, container manufacturing, and waste equipment supply should review the full bid documents carefully.
