Project management services to operate and manage the Alla-Ridge waste disposal site for Matjhabeng Local Municipality in the Free State over three years. Evaluated on mandatory, functionality, and 80/20 or 90/10 price and specific goals criteria. Closes 23 November 2026.
Matjhabeng Local Municipality in the Free State has issued Request for Proposals RFP/05/2026-27 for project management services to operate and manage the Alla-Ridge Waste Disposal Site for a period of three (3) years. The appointed service provider will be responsible for the day-to-day operation and management of the disposal site on behalf of the municipality, supporting the municipality's statutory obligation to provide safe, compliant, and effective solid waste disposal for its residents. Detailed scope of work, operational standards, reporting requirements, and performance expectations are set out in the full tender document, which bidders must obtain and review before submitting a proposal.
The tender is governed by Section 217 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, the Municipal Supply Chain Management Policy, and the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act No. 5 of 2000 and its regulations. Evaluation follows a staged process: bids must first meet mandatory requirements, then be assessed on functionality, and finally be scored on price and specific goals using either the 80/20 or 90/10 preference point system, as specified in the bid documents. The municipality reserves the right to accept part of a bid, to appoint multiple bidders, or to make no appointment, and the lowest-priced bid will not necessarily be accepted. CIDB grading is not applicable to this tender, and no compulsory site briefing session has been scheduled. Bidders should note that the bid validity period, where not otherwise stated, is 90 days from the closing date.
For bidders, this opportunity offers a three-year contract with a public-sector client in a regulated environment, providing revenue stability and the chance to demonstrate capability in municipal waste management operations. Tender documents are available for free download from the eTender portal or may be purchased as a printed document at the Matjhabeng municipal offices for R600.00, with payment by cash or EFT referencing the tender number. Completed bids must be delivered in a sealed, clearly marked envelope to the tender box at the Civic Centre, Room 108, corner Ryk and Stateway Streets, Welkom, by 14:00 on Monday, 23 November 2026. Late, faxed, telephonic, telegraphic, or pencil-completed submissions will not be considered, and no bids will be accepted from persons in the service of the state. Technical enquiries should be directed to Mr. J.M. Theunissen, and supply chain management enquiries to Mr. L. Sebatane or Ms. S. Malgas.
This tender is best suited to licensed waste management and environmental services companies with proven experience in operating landfill or waste disposal sites, particularly in South African municipal settings. Businesses with project management capability, established compliance and health and safety systems, and the equipment or subcontracting capacity to run a disposal facility should consider applying. Companies should hold valid tax compliance status, relevant registrations, and B-BBEE credentials to score well on the specific goals criteria. Firms without landfill operations experience, or without the capacity to meet the mandatory and functionality requirements, are unlikely to be competitive. Joint ventures or consortia combining environmental operations expertise with local presence in the Free State may also be well positioned.
