Multidisciplinary Human Settlements Development Services NEW

The Merafong City Local Municipality is inviting proposals from suitably qualified firms to provide multi-disciplinary professional services for the development of the Carletonville Extension 7 Integrated Human Settlements project. This is a re-advertised request for proposals, issued under reference EDP (H) 14/02/2526 by the Supply Chain Management Unit. The project falls within the professional, scientific and technical services category and requires a consolidated team that can address the planning, engineering and related technical disciplines needed to bring an integrated human settlements development from concept toward implementation. The detailed terms of reference, including the specific disciplines and deliverables, are contained in the bid documents, which can be purchased for a non-refundable fee of R1,486.09 (VAT inclusive).

The evaluation process is staged. Bids first undergo a compliance check, after which functionality is assessed out of 100 points. Only bidders scoring at least 70/100 on functionality proceed to price and preference evaluation, which applies the 90/10 preference point system: 90 points for price and 10 points for specific goals. Mandatory compliance requirements include registration on the Central Supplier Database (CSD) with a valid CSD report, a municipal rates and taxes account in the company's or directors' names (or a lease agreement with proof of payment for the last three months, supported by an affidavit where operating from residential premises), and submission of company registration documents (CK1) and CK forms. Bidders must also disclose any family or business relationships with government officials and any related interests of directors or shareholders in other companies. Non-compliance results in immediate disqualification. Bids must be submitted in a sealed envelope, on original documentation, by 10:00 on 11 December 2026 at the Revenue Section bid box in Carletonville. There is no compulsory briefing session. Bids remain valid for 90 working days.

For the successful service provider, the appointment offers the opportunity to contribute to a publicly funded housing and settlement initiative in the Merafong municipal area, a region that benefits from sustained demand for integrated residential development. The municipality reserves the right not to accept the lowest bid, or any bid, and to accept part of a bid. Interested firms should review the full bid documents carefully, confirm their CSD and tax compliance well in advance of the closing date, and ensure that their functionality submission clearly demonstrates relevant multi-disciplinary experience. Enquiries can be directed to Mr R. Pillay on 018 788 9500 or to Ms Babalwa Tsotso on 018 788 9697 (btsotso@merafong.gov.za).
