Supply and delivery of agrochemicals and 4:3:4 fertiliser to Mthatha's Kei Fresh Produce Market for Ntinga O.R. Tambo agricultural projects. Goods must be delivered within 7 days of an appointment letter. Bidders must score at least 70% on functionality and be registered on Ntinga's vendor database.
The Ntinga O.R. Tambo Development Agency SOC Ltd, a municipal entity wholly owned by the O.R. Tambo District Municipality, is inviting bids for the supply and delivery of agricultural inputs to Mthatha (Kei Fresh Produce Market). The goods support two Ntinga projects: the Ntinga-SACTA Levy Collaboration and the O.R. Tambo Vegetable Value Chain. The procurement covers crop protection chemicals and fertiliser in the following quantities: Chlorpyrifos (24L), Summit Super (84L), Basagran (36L), Nemacure (72L), Round Up (172L), Metachlor (170L), Cyperx/Weedo (5kg), Punch Extra (24L), and 4:3:4 (30) fertiliser (398 x 50kg bags, supplied in sling bags for easy offloading). Bidders must also submit a separate, detailed quotation on company letterhead.
The tender is evaluated in two stages. In Stage 1, bidders are scored on functionality out of 100. Financial capacity carries 30 points, supported by evidence of a credit facility, letter of intent from a registered financial institution, or access to legal funding. Mode of transport carries 20 points, supported by a letter of agreement or commitment from a logistics or fleet company confirming delivery within 7 days of a purchase order. Company previous experience carries 50 points, awarded for supplying agricultural inputs within the past five years. One reference letter earns 20 points, two earn 30 points, and three or more earn 50 points, supported by appointment letters, completion certificates, or reference letters. Only bidders scoring 70% or more proceed to Stage 2. Stage 2 applies the 80/20 preference point system, because the estimated value is below R50 million. Price accounts for 80 points and specific goals for 20 points. Specific goals include women, youth, and disabled ownership (51% or more equity, with supporting ID copies or medical proof), and rural business status.
Mandatory requirements include a valid CSD supplier number, a SARS tax PIN and tax clearance certificate, a B-BBEE certificate (original or certified copy), completed and signed bid schedules, and registration on the Ntinga vendor database. Bids must be submitted in a sealed envelope marked with the bid number, placed in the bid box at Ntinga's offices (No. 5 Textile Road, Southernwood, Mthatha) by 12:00 on 6 November 2026. Late bids are not accepted. Prices must remain valid for 90 days from closing. The first contract year is fixed-price, with price adjustment applicable in the second year under Schedule 10. Payment follows a monthly cycle, and the successful supplier must provide a performance guarantee only if it is later required. The bid document is currently listed as a draft, so bidders should verify the final version with the buyer before submitting. Technical queries should be directed to Mr S. Sikhwari, and SCM queries to Mr O. Muteyi.
Agricultural input suppliers, agrochemical and fertiliser distributors, and agro-dealers with licensed handling capacity. Businesses with secured transport or logistics partnerships are well placed, as delivery within 7 days is scored. Suppliers with at least three years of relevant contracts and references are most competitive for the experience criteria. Women-, youth-, disability-, and rural-owned enterprises (51% or more equity) can earn specific-goal points. Bidders must hold a valid CSD number, SARS tax compliance, B-BBEE certification, and be registered on the Ntinga vendor database.
