Office Space Rental

Swellendam Municipality, located in the Western Cape, invites suitably qualified property owners and letting agents to submit tenders for the rental of office space to the Municipality for a three-year period. The tender is evaluated on an 80/20 price-and-preference point system, and the Municipality reserves the right to accept any bid, including a partial award, and is not bound to accept the lowest bid. Bidders must achieve a minimum functionality score of 70 out of 100 to proceed to price evaluation.

Each premises offered must be supported by three mandatory compliance documents: a valid Electrical Certificate of Compliance, a valid Occupancy Certificate, and proof of valid building insurance that includes SASRIA cover for riot, strike, civil commotion and terrorism risks. Tenders must be submitted on the prescribed tender documents only and must include a valid SARS Tax Compliance Status PIN. Failure to supply all supplementary information and documentation may result in the bid being rendered non-responsive. Bids remain valid for 150 days from the closing date.

To obtain tender documents, interested bidders must pay a non-refundable deposit of R759.20 (VAT inclusive) into the Municipality's Standard Bank account, then collect or request the documents from the Supply Chain Management Unit at 11 Lind Street, Swellendam. Technical enquiries must be submitted in writing to the designated official named in the advert. Sealed tenders, clearly marked with the tender number and description, must be deposited in the Municipal Tender Box at the Supply Chain Management Offices before 11:00 on 13 November 2026, after which they will be opened in public. Late tenders, and tenders submitted by email or facsimile, will not be considered. Bidders should also note that extraordinary traffic conditions may occur from time to time due to the transport of wind turbines in the area.
