The Department of Water and Sanitation (Construction East branch) has issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ, Reference MSD 103) for the supply and delivery of septic tank cleaning and maintenance materials for the Mzimvubu project in the Eastern Cape Province. The requirement covers seven product lines: septic tank booster treatment in 1kg units (4 units), septic tank bio-digest in 5L containers (4 units), liquid septic tank treatment in 500ml bottles (5 units), powder septic tank treatment in 5kg packs (1 unit), bio-enzyme granules in 1kg packs (5 units), biodegradable septic tank powder in 80g packs (30 units), and septic tank starter tablets (5 units). The products are consumables used to maintain biological activity in septic tanks, reduce sludge build-up, and support the effective operation of on-site sanitation systems at project facilities.
Bidders must submit their quotations by email to MOLAPOJ@DWS.GOV.ZA with a copy to gumedese@dws.gov.za by 11:00 on 2 November 2026. Late submissions will not be accepted. Responses must be made on the official forms provided (not retyped), including the SBD 4 declaration of interest, the SBD 6.1 preference points claim form, and the supplier information and BBBEE reporting template. Bidders must provide a valid SARS Tax Compliance Status PIN or a printed TCS certificate, and/or a Central Supplier Database (CSD) number. Consortia, joint ventures, and sub-contractors must each submit separate tax compliance and CSD details. Proof of signing authority, such as a company resolution, must accompany the bid. The successful bidder will be required to sign a written contract (SBD 7). The procurement is subject to the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act, 2000 and the Preferential Procurement Regulations, 2022.
Evaluation uses the 80/20 preference point system, with 80 points for price and 20 points for specific goals. The specific goals are: 5 points for women ownership, 5 points for disability ownership, 5 points for youth ownership, 2 points for location of enterprise in the Eastern Cape Province, and 3 points for a B-BBEE status level of 1 or 2 for a QSE or EME. Bidders claiming these points must supply supporting documentation, and the organ of state may request proof at any time. Bidders should note that the tender record is currently marked as draft and that the submission window is short, so suppliers should verify the final published status and documents on eTenders before submitting. Bidders should also confirm product specifications and packaging against the item list, as the quantities are small and the products are specialised.
This tender suits suppliers of chemicals, sanitation products, bio-remediation or septic tank treatment products, and general consumables, particularly those based in or with distribution capacity in the Eastern Cape. It is also relevant to distributors and wholesalers who can deliver small quantities of specialised products to project sites. Businesses that are EMEs or QSEs with B-BBEE level 1 or 2, or that are at least 51 percent owned by women, people with disabilities, or youth, can claim preference points. Suppliers must hold a valid SARS tax compliance PIN or CSD registration and be able to meet the 2 November 2026 11:00 email deadline. Suppliers without prior experience supplying government may still apply, but should prepare the required SBD forms carefully, since incomplete or retyped forms may invalidate a bid.
