Laboratory Filter Paper Supply and Delivery NEW

Johannesburg Water has issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ) under reference 6000080673 for the supply and delivery of laboratory filter papers to its Cydna Lab. The requirement covers two products: a reinforced glass fibre filter paper, 47mm diameter, sold in packs of 100 (70 units required), and an industrial wet-strengthened, heavy-duty filter paper, 125mm diameter, 100 pieces per pack (70 units required). Both items are procured in the unit of measure 'EA' (each). Suppliers must quote for each item individually and provide the brand name offered for every line item. Quotations without brand names where required will not be accepted.

To be considered, bidders must provide manufacturer datasheets and manufacturer names for all items. Failure to submit manufacturer datasheets will result in disqualification. Johannesburg Water may also request sample units before proceeding with an order, so suppliers should be prepared to provide samples promptly. The total quotation must be inclusive of all applicable taxes, and quotations received after the closing date and time of 16 November 2026 will not be accepted. Quotations remain valid for 60 days from the quotation date of 9 November 2026. Acceptance of any quotation is subject to Johannesburg Water's Supply Chain Policy.

The tender carries a specific preference goal: businesses that are at least 51% owned by Black people are encouraged to respond, in line with Johannesburg Water's economic transformation objectives. This is a relatively small, clearly defined consumables order, making it accessible to laboratory suppliers, scientific distributors and local businesses able to source and deliver specialised filtration products. Successful suppliers will gain a supply relationship with a major metropolitan water utility and its accredited testing laboratory, supporting consistent water quality analysis operations.
