Property Market Dataset and Analytical Report

The City of Tshwane's Department of Economic Development and Spatial Planning is inviting suppliers to submit quotations for the appointment of a service provider to deliver a once-off, comprehensive property market dataset and analytical report covering the city's office, retail and industrial property markets. The City requires this intelligence to support Spatial Development Framework review, land use management and development control, and economic development planning. Unlike standard industry reports, which typically do not provide underlying data, the City requires full access to the raw datasets for internal analysis.

The scope requires a structured dataset covering vacancy rates, gross lettable area, rental levels, development pipelines and node-level performance for offices; vacancy by typology, GLA and stock levels, rental trends and supply-demand indicators for industrial property; and vacancy by centre type, trading density, rental levels and performance indicators for retail. Coverage must extend across the entire City of Tshwane at minimum node or suburb level, with the most recent data and at least five years of historical time-series data where available. Raw data must be delivered in Excel (xlsx) format, clean and analysis-ready, with metadata describing variables, data sources, methodology, coverage limitations and data dates. Failure to supply raw data results in disqualification. A PDF analytical report with an executive summary, a project schedule, and optionally a CSV dataset and presentation to City officials are also required.

Mandatory requirements include a minimum of five years' experience in commercial property market research, intelligence or analytics; at least three contactable reference letters for similar projects; proof of legal ownership, licence or authorisation to distribute the datasets; written confirmations regarding raw data supply, geographic coverage and time series; a methodology document of no more than 20 pages; and a sample dataset of approximately 10 to 20 anonymised records with map references. Bidders must be registered on the Central Supplier Database, be tax compliant, and submit audited financial statements, BBBEE documentation and signed MBD forms. Evaluation is 80 points for price and 20 points for B-BBEE status, youth, women, disability and local economic participation. The City reserves the right to conduct market analysis and negotiate market-related prices. Quotations close on 28 September 2026 at 10:00 and remain valid for 90 days. Note that the source document contains inconsistent closing dates (28 September 2026 in most sections, 10 November 2026 in the listing metadata), so bidders should verify the deadline on the official e-tender portal.
