Appointment of an experienced contractor to rehabilitate a gravel access road in De Aar, Northern Cape, for Sentech. Bidders must submit an RFQ response, a signed supplier consent form and an SBD4 declaration. Closes 27 November 2026.
Sentech SOC Limited is seeking quotations from experienced civil and road construction contractors for the rehabilitation of a gravel access road in De Aar, Northern Cape. The work involves restoring the road to a serviceable condition so that it can support ongoing access to Sentech's facilities. The request for quotation (RFQ) document, which contains the technical scope, specifications, site requirements, programme and pricing schedule, should be consulted in full before submitting a response. This summary is based on the tender title and the accompanying supporting documents, which do not include the detailed scope of works.
Alongside the RFQ, bidders must complete two mandatory forms. The first is the Sentech Supplier Consent Form, which authorises Sentech to process the supplier's personal information for evaluating the submission, verifying information, registering the supplier on Sentech's supplier database, and conducting background checks and Know Your Customer (KYC) checks under the Financial Intelligence Centre Act (FICA). The form also allows sharing of this information with affiliates and service providers, some of which may be located outside South Africa, and notes that consent may be withdrawn in writing, though this may prevent the RFQ from being processed. The second is the Standard Bidding Document SBD4 declaration, which requires disclosure of any state employment, family or other relationships with procuring institution staff, and related enterprise interests. It also requires certification of independent bidding with no collusion, and acknowledges that false declarations may lead to disqualification, reporting to the Competition Commission or National Prosecuting Authority, and restriction from public sector business under PFMA SCM Instruction 03 of 2021/22.
The benefit to a successful contractor is a formal, publicly funded civil works contract with a state-linked entity, along with inclusion on Sentech's supplier database for future opportunities. Bidders should confirm the listing status and any clarification deadlines on eTenders, as the notice is currently marked as draft, and should verify all compliance requirements, including tax clearance, CIDB registration and grading, B-BBEE status and company documentation, against the full RFQ before submitting.
Civil engineering and road construction contractors with proven experience in gravel road rehabilitation, grading and earthworks, particularly those based in or willing to mobilise to the Northern Cape. Applicants should hold current CIDB registration at the grading level specified in the RFQ, have valid tax and company compliance documents, and be able to complete the Sentech supplier consent form and SBD4 declaration. Small, medium and B-BBEE-compliant contractors are likely to be well positioned, provided they meet the RFQ's technical and financial criteria. Businesses without road construction experience or those unable to provide the required compliance documentation should not apply.
