Statistics South Africa invites suppliers to deliver medium back office chairs according to an updated specification and sample picture. Bids are evaluated 80/20 on price and specific goals, with points available for Black, women, youth and disabled ownership. Closes 28 October 2026.
Statistics South Africa (Stats SA) has issued a request for quotation for the delivery of medium back chairs under reference RQ-112638/1. The procurement falls under general supplies and is governed by the updated technical specification and a sample picture supplied with the bid pack. Suppliers should review the specification carefully before pricing, as it defines the required chair dimensions, materials, finish, and performance standards that the delivered goods must meet. The bid documents do not state the quantity or delivery location in the extracted text, so these details should be confirmed in the full specification before submission.
The bid pack includes the standard National Treasury documents that every bidder must complete. These are the Invitation to Bid (SBD1), the Firm Prices form (SBD3.1), which requires a fixed price inclusive of applicable taxes, and the Bidder's Disclosure (SBD4), which requires declarations on any relationships with state employees or competing bidders. Bidders listed on the Register for Tender Defaulters or the List of Restricted Suppliers are automatically disqualified. Failure to disclose all CSD-registered companies linked to directors will also lead to disqualification.
Evaluation follows the 80/20 preference point system, under which 80 points are allocated to price and 20 points to specific goals, because the estimated value is below R50 million. The specific goals are Black ownership (10 points), women ownership (5 points), youth ownership (3 points), and disability ownership (2 points). Points can only be claimed by submitting the required proof with the bid, such as certified identity documents, certified CIPC registration documents, CSD full detail reports, or an HPCSA-registered medical certificate for disability. Documents certified more than six months before the closing date are invalid and will result in forfeiture of the related points. Suppliers should also note that the tender is currently listed with a draft status, so they should confirm it is open and active on eTenders before preparing their submission.
This tender suits registered suppliers and manufacturers of office furniture, particularly those able to supply medium back office chairs that meet the stated specification and sample. Businesses should be registered on the Central Supplier Database (CSD) with valid tax compliance status, and must be able to submit firm prices. Black-owned, women-owned, youth-owned, and disability-owned enterprises can benefit from specific goals points if they can provide the required certified proof. Distributors and resellers may also apply if they can source chairs that comply with the specification. Businesses without experience in government bidding should prepare the SBD forms and ownership documentation carefully, since missing or outdated proof will reduce or forfeit their scores.
