This tender invites applications to lease approximately 2.3 hectares of Portion 69 of Farm 480, Melkhoutfontein, for a period of nine years and eleven months for agricultural purposes. The municipality is offering the land on a long-term lease, giving the successful tenderer secure tenure for crop, livestock or other farming activities over nearly a decade. Full specifications, a pricing schedule and the tender document are provided with the bid pack, and the tender is administered by the Supply Chain Management Office of Hessequa Municipality in Riversdale.
Tenderers must submit the fully completed original tender document in a sealed envelope, endorsed with the tender number, title and closing date, to the tender box at the Hessequa Municipality Absa Building, corner of Dickson and Church Street, Riversdale, by 12:00 on Friday, 04 December 2026. Late bids, or bids submitted by email or fax, will not be accepted. Bids must remain valid, irrevocable and open for acceptance for 90 days after the closing date. Tender documents cost R200.00 per set (non-refundable), payable by cash or bank deposit, and an electronic copy may be requested by email. Clarification questions may be sent to the designated contact until 10 days before closing. Mandatory supporting documents include a valid original tax clearance certificate, a B-BBEE certificate and certified copies of directors' identity documents. Bidders not yet registered on the Central Supplier Database (CSD) are urged to register without delay, as the municipality reserves the right not to award to unregistered suppliers.
Evaluation follows the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act (Act 5 of 2000), the Preferential Procurement Regulations, 2022, and the municipality's own preferential procurement policy. Points are allocated as follows: 80 points for price, 10 points for B-BBEE contribution and 10 points for locality. The municipality reserves the right to withdraw or re-advertise the tender, to reject any bid, or to accept only part of it, and it is not obliged to accept the lowest bid or the highest-scoring bid. Successful applicants will benefit from a long-term, fixed-term agricultural land lease, with the local-content scoring rewarding bidders based in the area.
This tender suits commercial farmers, agricultural producers, agri-businesses and emerging farmers seeking long-term access to land in the Hessequa area. Local businesses and residents will benefit from the locality points. Entities with strong B-BBEE credentials, including black-owned, women-owned and youth-owned enterprises, and cooperatives, can score additional points. Bidders must be registered on the CSD and able to provide a valid tax clearance certificate, a B-BBEE certificate and certified director documents. Businesses seeking short-term contracts or non-agricultural use of the land are unlikely to be a good fit.
