Supply and delivery of branded personal protective equipment (PPE) for the Automotive Industry Development Centre (AIDC) in Pretoria. Bidders must submit a CEO-signed Integrity Pact and preference point claims, with evaluation at 80% price and 20% B-BBEE specific goals. Closing date: 27 October 2026.
The Automotive Industry Development Centre (AIDC) has issued a request for quotation (RFQ) for the supply and delivery of branded personal protective equipment (PPE) for its premises at the Automotive Supplier Park, 30 Helium Road, Rosslyn, Pretoria. The procurement falls under the Clothing, Textiles and Footwear category and covers the sourcing, branding and delivery of PPE for AIDC staff and visitors. The tender package includes an RFQ (April 2026 version, dated 21 October 2026), the Standard Bidding Document 4 (SBD 4) disclosure form, and the SBD 6.1 Preference Points Claim Form issued under the Preferential Procurement Regulations, 2022. The supporting documents do not list detailed item specifications, quantities, branding requirements or delivery schedules, so interested bidders should review the full RFQ for these details.
The evaluation is based on the 80/20 preference point system, which applies to requirements up to R50 million including taxes. Up to 80 points are awarded for price, and up to 20 points for specific goals. Bidders who hold a valid B-BBEE certificate can claim 20 points for Level 1, 15 for Level 2, 10 for Level 3 and 5 for Level 4. Claims must be supported by a valid original or certified B-BBEE affidavit, or a SANAS-accredited verification certificate. Failure to submit the required proof means no specific-goal points are awarded, and AIDC may request further substantiation before or after adjudication. Bidders must also complete the SBD 4 declaration of interest, confirming independent bidding, absence of collusion, and any relationships with state employees or the procuring institution. False declarations may lead to disqualification, restriction from public-sector business for up to ten years, and referral for criminal investigation.
Bidders must sign the Integrity Pact, which the CEO or an authorised representative must sign at submission. A bid without a signed Integrity Pact will be disqualified. The pact commits both parties to ethical conduct, confidentiality, disclosure of intermediary payments and conflict-of-interest declarations, and it bars bidders on the National Treasury's Restricted Suppliers list or Register for Tender Defaulters. The Integrity Pact template refers to the Gauteng Provincial Government, which appears to be a template carry-over, so bidders should confirm the governing entity and any applicable terms with AIDC before submission. The bid closes on 27 October 2026, only six days after publication, so suppliers should act quickly to confirm their readiness and prepare their documentation.
This tender suits PPE and workwear suppliers, clothing and textile manufacturers, and distributors that can supply and brand protective garments and deliver to Pretoria. Branding specialists such as embroidery, screen printing and heat transfer providers may suit as subcontractors or joint-venture partners. Bidders should hold a valid B-BBEE certificate (Level 1 to 4) to claim specific-goal points, be registered on the National Treasury Central Supplier Database, and not appear on the Restricted Suppliers list or the Register for Tender Defaulters. Because the closing window is short, bidders need a CEO-signed Integrity Pact, a completed SBD 4 declaration and SBD 6.1 preference form ready at submission. Businesses without PPE experience or the capacity for fast turnaround should assess their fit carefully before bidding.
