Supply and delivery of a new 2.5MVA, 11kV/400V oil-immersed power transformer for the Sandile Water Treatment Works, procured by Amatola Water Board. Suited to electrical equipment manufacturers and distributors. Closes 17 November 2026.
Amatola Water Board is inviting bids for the supply and delivery of one new 2.5MVA, 11kV/400V oil-immersed distribution transformer for the Sandile Water Treatment Works. The transformer will step down medium-voltage supply to 400V low-voltage distribution, powering the plant's process and auxiliary electrical loads. The tender is categorised under Supplies: Electrical Equipment and is reference AW2026/27/05. It was published on 27 October 2026 and closes on 17 November 2026.
The full scope, technical specifications, delivery requirements, and evaluation criteria are set out in the tender document (AW2026.27.05 Sandile Transformer Tender Doc 26.10.26.pdf), which is available for download on eTenders. The automated extraction of that document was unsuccessful, so the details above are based on the tender title, description, and metadata. Bidders should review the tender document in full before preparing a submission, paying particular attention to the required technical compliance, testing and commissioning obligations, warranty and after-sales support terms, delivery location and timeframes, and the pricing schedule format.
As a water utility asset, the transformer is expected to be a reliable, long-life item, so bidders should be prepared to demonstrate that the offered unit is new, conforms to the specified ratings and applicable South African and international standards, and is supported by a credible manufacturer or authorised agent. Bidders should also confirm the statutory requirements for South African government tenders, which typically include valid tax compliance status, Central Supplier Database registration, and B-BBEE documentation, and check the document for any mandatory forms or site-specific conditions.
Manufacturers, original equipment manufacturers, authorised distributors, and agents of medium-voltage power transformers, particularly those able to supply 2.5MVA 11kV/400V oil-immersed units with South African delivery and after-sales support. Electrical engineering contractors with transformer procurement capability may also be suitable, either as prime bidders or as partners to a manufacturer. Businesses without transformer supply capability, or without the statutory registrations required for government procurement, are unlikely to be competitive.
