Rand Water is procuring a contractor to remove and replace DN 900 valves on pumpsets 9 and 20, including auxiliary DN 150 bypass valves. Bidders must submit track record, HR, equipment and programme schedules. Closes 24 November 2026.
Rand Water has issued a tender for the removal and replacement of DN 900 valves on pumpsets 9 and 20 at its bulk water infrastructure, including the supply and installation of auxiliary DN 150 bypass valves. The work involves dismantling the existing large-diameter valves, safely isolating and removing them, and installing replacement units that meet the utility's operational and technical requirements. Because the valves are part of the pumping system, the work must be planned to protect ongoing water supply and to maintain safe working conditions around high-pressure pipework and heavy equipment.
The tender documents include a set of Returnable Schedules that bidders must complete and sign. These cover: a Record of Previous Work Experience, with up to three referenced projects including scope, contract value (excluding VAT), award date and client contact details, as Rand Water may verify references and inspect completed works; Human Resources Capacity, including a company organogram showing the personnel dedicated to this contract; Equipment Resource Capacity, listing major items of relevant equipment that are owned, leased or hired, or planned for purchase, that will be available if the tender is awarded; and a Project Programme, indicating the total duration, whether the work is once-off or short/medium term, and a task-level schedule with durations, start and finish dates, resources and comments. The full technical specifications, drawings and other bid requirements are contained in the supporting 10417366 ZIP file, which should be reviewed before bidding. The contract value and exact site location are not stated in the listing summary.
For contractors, this opportunity offers the chance to deliver specialised mechanical work on critical water infrastructure for one of South Africa's major bulk water suppliers, and to build a track record in large-diameter valve replacement. Successful bidders will need to demonstrate proven experience, qualified technical staff, suitable lifting and handling equipment, and a realistic, safe work programme. The tender is scheduled to close on 24 November 2026. Note that the listing status is currently shown as draft, so bidders should confirm the final published status and terms on eTenders before submitting.
Mechanical and industrial engineering contractors experienced in large-diameter valve installation, pump station maintenance, or water infrastructure works. Applicable to companies that can demonstrate comparable referenced projects, qualified supervisory and artisan staff, and access to heavy lifting and pipework handling equipment. Suppliers of valves and pump components with installation capability may also be suitable, either as prime contractors or as part of a joint venture or subcontracting arrangement. Small businesses without large-diameter valve experience or the required lifting equipment are unlikely to meet the requirements unless they partner with a qualified contractor.
