Auctioneering Services

Hessequa Municipality, based in Riversdale in the Western Cape, has invited tenders for the provision of auctioneering services for a period of three (3) years. The contract covers the appointment of a professional auctioneer to conduct public auctions, typically for the disposal of redundant, obsolete, or unclaimed municipal assets and other goods in accordance with the Municipality's supply chain management policy. Detailed scope, specifications, and the pricing schedule are set out in the tender document (HES-CORP 04/2627) and the accompanying Specifications & Pricing Schedule, which should be reviewed in full before submission.

Tenders are evaluated in terms of the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act (Act 5 of 2000) and the Preferential Procurement Regulations, 2022. A total of 100 points applies: 80 points for price, 10 points for B-BBEE contribution, and 10 points for locality. The Municipality does not bind itself to accept the lowest bid or the highest-scoring bid, and reserves the right to withdraw, re-advertise, or reject any tender. Bidders 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, emailed, or faxed bids will not be accepted. Tenders must remain valid and irrevocable for 90 days after the closing date.

Required documentation includes a valid original tax clearance certificate, a valid B-BBEE certificate, and certified copies of identity documents for directors and owners. Service providers not yet registered on the Central Supplier Database (CSD) are expected to register without delay, as the Municipality reserves the right not to award tenders to unregistered suppliers. Tender documents cost a non-refundable R200.00 per set and may be obtained from the Supply Chain Management Office in Riversdale or by electronic request. Clarification questions must be submitted by email to leanne@hessequa.gov.za at least 10 days before closing, and enquiries about specifications may be directed to Mr. Albert Kleynhans at (028) 713 8000. Bidders should check whether a compulsory clarification meeting applies before submitting.
