Supply and Erection of Bus Shelters

The Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma Local Municipality has issued tender PWBS-B018/26/27 for the supply and erection of seven bus shelters in Wards 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15. The project is a public infrastructure procurement aimed at improving passenger waiting facilities and public transport access for communities in these wards. The tender was published on 23 October 2026 and closes on 20 November 2026. The published listing does not include detailed specifications, so the supporting bid notice dated 23 October 2026 should be reviewed before bidding.

The scope covers the full supply and installation of seven bus shelters. Based on typical municipal bus shelter projects, this would generally include manufacturing or procuring the shelter structures, transporting them to the designated sites, site preparation, foundations, and erection and fixing of the structures. Bidders should confirm in the bid notice the exact design and material requirements, site locations within each ward, foundation and civil works expectations, any requirements for signage, seating or lighting, and the timeframe for completion and handover. Work of this nature usually requires compliance with the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) grading requirements for the relevant contract value, along with standard municipal bidding documents such as tax compliance status, B-BBEE credentials, company registration and declarations of interest. These should be verified against the bid notice.

For the municipality, the project should deliver safe, sheltered waiting points for commuters, supporting dignity, safety and accessibility for residents who rely on public transport. For contractors, the tender offers an opportunity to secure a municipal infrastructure contract that can build a track record in public works. Prospective bidders are encouraged to conduct a site visit where possible, clarify any ambiguities with the municipality before the closing date, and ensure that all mandatory documents are complete and submitted on time to avoid disqualification.
