Transnet Property, a division of Transnet SOC Ltd, is inviting qualified contractors to submit proposals for the provision of preventative, corrective and emergency maintenance plus minor new works across its properties in Newcastle and surrounding areas. The contract covers electrical lights and power, civil works, general building, and plumbing services, and will be awarded on an as-and-when-required basis for a period of 24 months. The scope includes planned and scheduled maintenance of water, storm water, sewer and hot water installations; building fabric and roof maintenance; ablution servicing; roller shutter and palisade fence repairs; painting and traffic line marking; drain unblocking; and maintenance of electrical distribution boards, lighting, substation equipment, UPS systems and standby generators. Contractors must also carry out condition assessments, examine existing Certificates of Compliance, and maintain installation logbooks and inventory lists.
Service levels are strictly defined. Emergency call-outs must be attended within set response times based on distance from the Transnet office, typically one to six hours, and the contractor must operate a 24/7 emergency call-out service. Normal breakdown calls, allowed downtimes and key performance indicators, including planned maintenance compliance (100%), key plant availability (95%) and statutory inspection compliance, are monitored, with penalties for non-performance. Work on medium and high voltage equipment requires personnel trained and certified under Transnet's High Voltage Systems regulations. Contractors must submit a maintenance plan within two months of award and provide before-and-after photographs of work performed.

Remaining bids are evaluated on an 80/20 price and B-BBEE preference basis. The tender is subject to the Transnet Procurement Ombudsman process for complaints above R5 million, and bidders must observe the integrity pact and compulsory enterprise questionnaire.
