A three-year contract for project management services to operate and manage the Welkom waste disposal site in the Free State. Bids are evaluated on mandatory and functionality criteria, then on an 80/20 or 90/10 price and specific goals basis. Closes 23 November 2026.
Matjhabeng Local Municipality is seeking a service provider to operate and manage the Welkom waste disposal site for a period of three years under Request for Proposal RFP/03/2026-27. The advert describes the requirement as project management services covering the operation and management of the site. The advertised summary does not set out detailed technical specifications, operational targets, or reporting obligations, so prospective bidders should review the full tender document, which is available from the municipality, for the complete scope of work, service levels, and submission requirements.
The evaluation process has three stages: mandatory requirements, functionality, and then a preference point system of either 80/20 or 90/10, with price and specific goals as the scoring elements. The municipality has stated that the lowest bid will not necessarily be accepted and that it may accept part of a bid, accept bids from multiple bidders, or decline to appoint any bidder. Bids must comply with Section 217 of the Constitution, the Municipality's Supply Chain Management Policy, and the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act No. 5 of 2000. Persons in the service of the state may not submit bids. Bid validity is 90 days from the closing date unless the bid document states otherwise. The tender is not subject to CIDB grading, and there is no compulsory site briefing.
For the municipality, the contract provides professional management of a municipal waste disposal facility, which supports compliance with environmental and public health obligations for the Welkom area. Tender documents cost R600.00 (non-refundable) at the Welkom cashier or by EFT, and can also be downloaded free of charge from the eTender portal. Completed bids must be delivered to the Civic Centre in Welkom, Room 108, before the closing date and time of 14:00 on Monday, 23 November 2026. Late, faxed, telephonic, or incorrectly marked submissions will not be considered. 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 most relevant to waste management and landfill operators with experience running municipal disposal sites, environmental services companies, and project management firms that have delivered municipal waste or infrastructure contracts. Businesses should confirm they meet the mandatory requirements and can address the functionality criteria in the full tender document before preparing a bid. Because the tender is not CIDB-graded and has no compulsory site briefing, firms may bid without prior site inspection, though they should weigh the operational risk of that. Companies that qualify for the specific goals preference points, such as B-BBEE or other designated categories, may be at an advantage under the 80/20 or 90/10 scoring system. Bidders should also note that the R600.00 document fee is non-refundable.
