Panel Beating Workshop Equipment and Tools Supply NEW

The Automotive Industry Development Centre (AIDC), the dedicated developmental agency of the Gauteng Growth and Development Agency for the automotive and allied sector, is requesting quotations from suppliers for the supply and delivery of panel beating workshop equipment and tools for its Alexandra Automotive Hub in Marlboro, Sandton. The request covers a broad range of line items, approximately 60, and forms part of AIDC's mandate to enhance automotive-sector capacity, support SMME development and drive township transformation. Equipment categories include pneumatic and air tools (angle grinders, air drills, air hammers, impact wrenches, air saws, riveters, sanders, spray guns and wash machines), body repair and frame equipment (body pry kits, porta-power body frame repair kits, slide hammers, dent pullers, clamps and pull clamps), lifting equipment (trolley jacks, hydraulic jacks, wheel dollies, chain slings and a 3.5 m aluminium ladder), and a wide range of hand tools, workshop furniture and storage (work benches, tool cabinets, trolleys, toolboxes, and a 204-piece CRV tool cabinet). Several items specify technical parameters such as capacities, dimensions, materials and standards, and many lines require a warranty.

All items must be quoted exactly as specified in the RFQ pricing schedule. Suppliers that do not quote to the stated specifications will be disqualified. Prices must be submitted excluding VAT, with VAT shown separately at 15%, and must be firm and valid for the stated validity period. Quotations must be submitted by e-mail to quotations@aidc.co.za by 11:00 on 16 November 2026, and respondents must not copy any AIDC personnel, including the SCM official, as this will result in disqualification. Goods must be delivered to the Alexandra Automotive Hub, and no delivery or service may proceed without a valid AIDC Official Purchase Order or letter of award.

Mandatory compliance documents include a fully completed and signed SBD 4 (Declaration of Interest), a signed Integrity Pact, the pricing schedule, a SARS PIN, a valid B-BBEE certificate or sworn affidavit, and the SBD 6.1 and SBD 6.2 preference forms. Suppliers must also be registered on the National Treasury Central Supplier Database (CSD). Evaluation is based on compliance, pre-qualification and functionality, with the 80/20 preference point system applied: 80 points for price and 20 points for specific goals, with B-BBEE contributor level 1 to 4 earning 20 to 5 points. Exempted Micro Enterprises (EMEs) and Qualifying Small Enterprises (QSEs) must submit the relevant sworn affidavits to claim points. Successful bidders will be expected to honour the warranty commitments for eligible tools and to comply with AIDC's integrity and ethical standards throughout the contract.
