Water Treatment Chemicals Supply and Delivery

Chief Albert Luthuli Municipality invites suitably experienced suppliers to tender for the supply and delivery of water treatment chemicals under Tender Reference ALMT06/2026. The contract covers a 36-month period and supports the municipality's obligation to deliver safe, compliant drinking water to its residents. Specific chemical types, quantities, delivery schedules, and technical specifications are set out in the bid document, which bidders must obtain and review before submitting a proposal. The advert states that tender documents are available free of charge from the eTender portal or the municipal website, with a non-refundable printing fee of R1,012.15 applying only to hard copies collected at the cashier's point from 5 November 2026.

Evaluation follows a preferential point system in line with the Preferential Procurement Regulations 2022 and the municipality's own preferential procurement policy. Price carries 80 or 90 points, and the municipality's objectives carry 20 or 10 points, with the applicable split determined by the lowest acceptable tender. Bidders must comply with the VAT Act. The municipality reserves the right to accept or reject the lowest-priced bid or any other bid, and late, telephonic, facsimile, or e-mailed submissions will not be accepted. Councillors, other elected representatives, full-time municipal employees, and directors of public or municipal entities are prohibited from bidding under the Municipal Supply Chain Regulations.

Sealed bids, marked with the correct bid number, must reach the Municipal Manager at PO Box 24, Carolina, 1185, or be deposited in the tender box at the Municipality Offices, 28 Church Street, Carolina, no later than 12:00 on 1 December 2026. Administrative queries should be directed to Supply Chain Manager Mr J Nkosi at 017 843 4025 or Nkosija@albertluthuli.gov.za. Bidders who have not received a response within 90 working days should treat their bid as unsuccessful. The advert also covers three other tenders (ALMT07, ALMT08, and ALMT09/2026) with the same closing date, so bidders should confirm they are responding to the correct reference number.
