Supply of Two Laptop Computers NEW

Enoch Mgijima Local Municipality, based in Queenstown in the Eastern Cape, is seeking a registered supplier to supply and deliver two (2) laptop computers for newly appointed asset clerks. The request is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ) under the Municipality's Supply Chain Management Policy and the Preferential Procurement Regulations, 2022. The tender is categorised under Supplies: Computer Equipment. The goods are required for the Municipality's asset management function, so the successful supplier will be delivering standard business-grade computing equipment to a single municipal office. Note that the technical specification schedule for the laptops is not reproduced in the extracted document. Interested bidders should obtain the full specifications from the SCM office or the Municipality's website before pricing.

Bidders must meet several mandatory requirements, and failure to comply will render a bid non-responsive. Required documents include a copy of the company registration document (CK), proof of registration on the National Treasury Central Supplier Database (CSD), a valid SARS Tax Compliance Status PIN, a current B-BBEE status level verification certificate or sworn affidavit (for EMEs and QSEs), a company profile demonstrating previous experience, and a valid municipal account statement (not older than three months), lease agreement, SAPS affidavit, or ward councillor letter. All standard bid forms MBD 1, 4, 6.1, 6.2, 8 and 9 must be fully completed and signed, and the Form of Offer must state the total price inclusive of 15% VAT in both words and figures. A costing schedule/quotation must be attached. Bids must be submitted in a sealed envelope marked with the RFQ number and project title, in black ink, without tipex alterations, and must be deposited in the tender box at the Budget and Treasury Office, 25-27 Owen Street, Queenstown, by 12:00 on 16 November 2026. Electronic, faxed, and emailed bids are not accepted, and late bids will not be considered.

Evaluation proceeds in three stages. Stage 1 is a compliance and administrative check. Stage 2 applies to bids scoring at least 60 points and evaluates price (80 points), with the remaining 20 points allocated to B-BBEE status level and locality/specific goals. Locality points favour suppliers within Enoch Mgijima Municipality (10 points), followed by the Chris Hani District (7), the wider Eastern Cape (5), and the rest of South Africa (3). Prices must remain firm for the full contract period, include delivery and all administrative costs, and bids remain valid for 90 days after closing. The Municipality does not bind itself to accept the lowest bid. Bidders who have not received notification within 90 days of closing should consider their bid unsuccessful. Technical enquiries may be directed to Mr S. Mpateni (045 807 2042), and SCM and bid-process queries to Mr K. Mgoboza (045 807 2091).
