Supply & Installation of 10L Under-Basin Water Heater

The National Museum Bloemfontein has issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ 10LUBE) for the supply and installation of a 10-litre under-basin electric water storage heater. The unit is a compact, point-of-use water heater designed to mount beneath a wash basin and supply hot water at a single outlet. The tender is published as a request for quotation, so the buyer will likely assess quotes on price, compliance with the specification, and the supplier's ability to deliver and install within the required timeframe.

Based on the tender title and category, the core scope is the procurement of one 10-litre under-basin electric storage heater and its installation at the museum premises. Installation would typically include mounting the unit under the basin, making the water supply connections, providing a dedicated electrical connection that complies with the South African Wiring Regulations (SANS 10142-1), testing the unit, and confirming that it operates correctly before handover. Bidders should check the RFQ document for the exact specifications, including the manufacturer or model requirements, rated power and voltage, warranty period, delivery location, and whether removal of the existing heater or making good of any surfaces is included. The supporting document (RFQ HEATER.pdf) could not be extracted for this summary, so these details must be confirmed directly from the source.

The opportunity is small in scope and suits businesses that can supply and install a single appliance quickly and reliably. Bidders should prepare a compliant quotation that clearly itemises the unit price, installation labour, materials, and any delivery costs, and should confirm validity periods and payment terms. Given the closing date of 9 November 2026, suppliers should review the RFQ and submit quotations well before the deadline. Standard South African government procurement requirements, such as a valid tax clearance certificate, Central Supplier Database (CSD) registration, and B-BBEE status documentation, generally apply to RFQs and should be verified in the full document before submission.
