South African National Parks seeks a registered CIDB 6GB contractor to renovate Chalets 1-4, upgrade electrical, water, sewer and road infrastructure, renovate pools, and build a new massage parlour at Riemvasmaak Hot Springs, Northern Cape. Contract period: 10 months.
South African National Parks (SANParks), through its Infrastructure & Special Projects Unit, invites tenders for a comprehensive construction project at Riemvasmaak Hot Springs in the Northern Cape Province. The works comprise renovations to existing chalets 1 to 4, upgrades to the electrical supply, water supply, and sewer reticulation, upgrades to internal roads, renovations to the existing pools, and the construction of a new massage parlour. The project is governed by the JBCC Principal Building Agreement for Organs of State (Edition 6.2, May 2018), with bills of quantities measured under the Standard System of Measuring Building Work (7th Edition), and the contract period is 10 months from possession of site.
Tenderers must hold a CIDB contractor grading designation of 6GB or higher, or meet the joint venture requirements set out in the tender data. Functionality is assessed on General Building Construction Experience (up to 12 points) and Technical Expertise (up to 12 points), with a minimum of 17 out of 24 points required to proceed. Key personnel must include a Contracts Manager with at least 10 years of building construction experience and a Site Foreman with at least 5 years, both in permanent or fixed-term employment with the tenderer. Mandatory requirements include attendance of the compulsory clarification meeting at Riemvasmaak Hot Springs on 10 November 2026, CSD registration, tax compliance, a valid COIDA letter of good standing, and a fully priced bill of quantities submitted by hand in black ink. Tender documents are available only at the clarification meeting, against a non-refundable cash deposit of R300.
Evaluation uses the 80/20 preference point system for contracts up to R50 million, with 80 points for price and up to 20 points for specific goals, including black ownership, enterprise status, and Northern Cape locality. Bidders must also provide a Construction Guarantee of 10% of the contract sum, public liability and contract works insurance, and comply with SANParks' Health and Safety Specification and Environmental Management Plan. Work is restricted to set hours on site, and the project is located on communal land, requiring strict protection of features outside the site. Hard-copy tenders must be delivered to the SANParks Regional Office in Upington by 11:00 on 30 November 2026, with late submissions not accepted.
This tender is suited to registered CIDB 6GB or higher general building contractors with experience in renovations, civil infrastructure, and electrical or plumbing works, particularly in remote or communal-land settings. Applicants should have a permanent Contracts Manager (10+ years) and Site Foreman (5+ years), proven comparable projects in the past five years, and the capacity to post a 10% construction guarantee and secure the required insurances. Local Northern Cape businesses may benefit from locality points, and joint ventures with appropriate combined grading are eligible. Small contractors without the required CIDB grading or key personnel should consider partnering with a suitably graded firm.
