Training Intervention Facilitation Services

This tender seeks one accredited training service provider for each of two training categories over a three-year contract period. Category A covers credit-bearing Supervisory Skills training aligned to Unit Standard 10148 (NQF Level 5, 14 credits), assessed through individual portfolio-of-evidence submissions, with a Certificate of Competence issued to successful learners. Category B covers Medium Voltage (MV) Cable Joints and Terminations, aligned to Unit Standards 259189, 259187 and 243668, and Operating Regulations for High Voltage Systems (HVRA/ORHVS), aligned to Unit Standard 242766 (NQF Level 5, 8 credits). The Category B scope spans 11kV to 33kV systems and requires both theoretical and hands-on practical training, including XLPE and PILC cable work, heat-shrink and cold-shrink accessories, separable connectors, and earthing and continuity practice. Bidders may tender for one or both categories.

Bidders must hold valid accreditation registered in the name of the bidding company for all programmes proposed, with assessor and moderator registration from the relevant SETA (for Unit Standard 10148) or EWSETA/QCTO (for the electrical programmes). Compulsory Facilitator, Assessor and Moderator CV templates must be completed and signed, supported by SETA accreditation proof and reference letters from relevant past projects. The provider must submit a draft training plan covering methodology, timelines, facilitation, portfolio submission, internal assessment, moderation and external verification. Pricing must be a fixed rate per delegate covering all associated costs, including facilitator fees, assessment and moderation, travel and subsistence, administrative support, ad hoc reporting and learner compliance verification. For Category B, the provider must also supply learner guides and assessment logbooks and manage the compilation of signed portfolios of evidence for EWSETA credit uploads. The municipality will provide the training venues, participant details, refreshments and lunch, and, for Category B, the equipment and consumable materials used in practical sessions.

Evaluation is on an 80/20 point system: 80 points for price and 20 points for specific goals, which include B-BBEE status and the locality of the enterprise (with preference for businesses located within the Kouga municipal area). Only bidders scoring at least 70% on functionality proceed to price evaluation, and functionality is scored on company experience, the experience of the lead facilitator, and the registration of the assessor and moderator. Mandatory compliance documents include a National Treasury CSD summary report, a valid SARS Tax Compliance PIN, business registration documents, certified ID copies, and a municipal billing clearance certificate. Hard copies and an electronic copy on USB or CD must be submitted to the tender box at the municipal offices in Jeffreys Bay, and non-compliant or late submissions will be rejected. A compulsory virtual clarification session takes place on 19 November 2026 at 10:00, and the closing date is 8 December 2026 at 12:00. Tenders remain valid for 90 days from the closing date.
