The tender falls under the Civil Engineering category and is listed as a draft on the eTenders portal, with a published date of 9 November 2026 and a closing date of 26 November 2026.

The full scope of work, technical specifications, site details, pricing schedules, and eligibility or compliance requirements are contained in the supporting document CASIDRA PORTAL.pdf, which could not be extracted for this analysis. Prospective bidders should download and review this document before deciding to submit. Based on the title and category, bidders should expect requirements typical of public-sector civil works, which may include proof of CIDB registration at an appropriate grading, relevant experience in river or earthworks projects, availability of suitable plant and equipment, health, safety and environmental compliance, and tax and BEE documentation. These should be verified against the tender document itself.
