Design, supply, installation and commissioning of Instrument Landing System (ILS) localizer and glide path equipment and Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) at Polokwane International Airport. A re-advertised professional services tender for aviation navigation infrastructure.
The Limpopo - Gateway Airport Authority Limited (GAAL) has re-advertised a tender for the design, supply, installation and commissioning of navigational aids at Polokwane International Airport. The scope covers an Instrument Landing System (ILS), comprising the localizer and glide path systems, along with Distance Measuring Equipment (DME). These systems guide aircraft during precision approach and landing, particularly in low-visibility conditions, and are critical to the safety and operational capability of the airport.
The procurement is classified under professional services and encompasses the full project lifecycle: engineering design, supply of certified equipment, site installation, integration with existing airport systems, and commissioning to the standards required by the South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) and International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Annex 10 specifications. Detailed technical requirements, pricing schedules, and conditions of contract are set out in the bid document and the General Conditions of Contract, which should be reviewed in full before submission. Note that the source documents could not be extracted for this summary, so specific technical thresholds, timelines and evaluation criteria should be verified directly from the bid pack.
The re-advertisement suggests that an earlier process did not result in an award, so bidders should expect close scrutiny of compliance and capability. Successful bidders will contribute to upgrading air navigation infrastructure at a regional airport, supporting safer flight operations, improved airport accessibility and economic development in the Limpopo province. Interested parties should confirm their aviation certification, relevant project experience and compliance with B-BBEE and tax requirements before the closing date of 4 December 2026.
Aviation engineering and avionics firms, airport navigation aid specialists, electronics and radio frequency systems integrators, and civil engineering contractors with experience in airfield infrastructure. Bidders should hold relevant SACAA approvals or ICAO-compliant certification, demonstrable ILS/DME installation experience, and the ability to provide design, supply and commissioning under one contract. Consortia combining aviation technical expertise with local construction capacity may also be well placed.
