Travel Management Agency Services NEW

Umzimvubu Local Municipality, through its Budget and Treasury Office Supply Chain Management unit, invites suitably qualified and experienced service providers to submit bids for the provision of Travel Management Agency Services for a period of two years (Tender Reference UMZ/2026-27/BTO/SCM/003). The advert was published on 9 November 2026, and bids close on 10 December 2026 at 12:00 noon, when they will be opened in public. The municipality will award the contract to the bidder that offers the best value for money, and it reserves the right not to appoint any bidder.

Bidders must meet mandatory compliance requirements, and failure to submit these documents will render a bid non-responsive. Required documents include a valid CIPC document or company statement, and a declaration that the company and all active directors do not owe municipal services for more than 30 days. Bidders must also be registered on the Central Supplier Database (CSD). The municipality will not award any contract to a person or persons working for the state. Bids must be clearly marked with the name of the project.

Bids will be evaluated on a 80/20 preference point system. Functionality is scored out of 100 points, and a minimum of 70 points is required before a bid proceeds to further evaluation. The functionality criteria listed in the advert are Financial Capability (30 points) and Methodology and Accreditation (10 points), with a further 20 points allocated in the table, although the advert does not clearly label this third criterion. Preference points are awarded for 50% or more youth ownership, 50% or more female ownership, 100% black ownership, people living with disabilities, and suppliers based in Umzimvubu Local Municipality (4 points each). Bidders should review the full tender document carefully, as the advert also references a separate tender for a Municipal Fleet Tracking System (UMZ/2026-27/BTO/SCM/001), which has a different scope and is not covered by this listing. Technical enquiries may be directed to Mr. L. Hendrick, and SCM enquiries to Ms. Xolisa Blaweni, at Hendrick.Lazola@umzimvubu.gov.za and Blaweni.Xolisa@umzimvubu.gov.za.
