Transnet Port Terminal requires a supplier for stationery consumables for pendoring operations under a once-off RFQ. Bids are submitted electronically via the Transnet eSupplier Portal, with pricing in South African Rand inclusive of VAT, and closing on 27 October 2026 at 15:00.
Transnet SOC Ltd, operating through its Transnet Port Terminals division, has issued Request for Quotation (RFQ) PPA-172797 for the supply of stationery consumables for pendoring operations. The requirement is a once-off procurement, meaning it is not a recurring supply contract. The RFQ was issued on 22 October 2026 and closes on 27 October 2026 at 15:00. Bids must be submitted electronically through the Transnet eSupplier Portal, and no paper pricing schedules will be accepted. Suppliers are strongly advised to submit at least one day before the closing date, as late submissions are not accepted and Transnet bears no liability for bidders' technical difficulties.
The detailed technical scope and specifications are provided in a separate Transnet TDPS document referenced in the RFQ, so interested suppliers should download and review this document before pricing. Pricing must be quoted in South African Rand, inclusive of VAT, and must follow the electronic price schedule exactly; deviations may result in disqualification. Any disbursements not specifically priced will not be considered. Bidders must hold a valid SARS Tax Compliance Status PIN or a Central Supplier Database (CSD) number, and must complete the mandatory returnable documents, including the SBD1 invitation to bid, declarations of interest, and the RFQ certificate of acquaintance. The bid validity period is 60 business days from the closing date.
Evaluation follows a staged process: administrative and substantive responsiveness, a minimum technical threshold, and then scoring on an 80/20 preference point system, with 80 points for price and 20 points for B-BBEE status level of contributor. Preference points may also be claimed for specific goals such as black women-owned, youth-owned, or disability-owned entities, provided valid evidence is submitted. Successful bidders will be required to provide security clearance where applicable, comply with the Employment Equity Act, and maintain valid compliance documents for the duration of any resulting contract. Clarification questions must be submitted to the designated contact before 12:00 on 26 October 2026.
Suitable for registered suppliers and distributors of stationery and office consumables, particularly those able to supply goods to port or industrial operations in South Africa. Businesses should hold a valid SARS Tax Compliance PIN or CSD registration and B-BBEE certification to maximise preference points. Enterprises owned by black women, youth, people with disabilities, or qualifying small and micro enterprises (QSEs and EMEs) are encouraged to apply, as they may claim additional specific goals points. Bidders must be able to meet the electronic submission requirements and deliver within the stated lead time.
