Guardrail Supply and Installation

Transnet SOC Ltd, through the Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA), has issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for the supply and installation of guardrails at Hood Point Lighthouse in the Eastern Cape. The procurement covers the replacement of existing guardrails at the site, which is a historically significant navigational facility located at a coastal point where pedestrian and vehicle safety barriers are essential to visitor and staff protection. The tender is categorised under Civil Services and is published under reference TNPA/2026/10/2305/13253/RFQ.

The scope of work is understood to include the supply of new guardrail materials, their removal or decommissioning of the existing barriers where required, and the installation of the replacement system in accordance with the specifications set out in the RFQ document. Successful bidders are expected to supply all labour, equipment, materials, transport, and site safety measures needed to complete the works. Given the coastal environment, bidders should consider corrosion-resistant materials and fixings suited to salt-laden air and exposure to weather. Work at a lighthouse site may also require compliance with heritage and site access protocols, and contractors should confirm any restrictions on working hours, access routes, and site inspections.

Interested suppliers should review the full RFQ document, which is available for download on the eTenders portal, before preparing a quotation. Key items to verify include the technical specifications, pricing schedule, required certifications and tax compliance documents, company registration details, B-BBEE status, and any site visit requirements. Bids must be submitted before the closing date of 5 November 2026. Note that the tender is currently listed as draft, so bidders should monitor the portal for confirmation of the active status and any clarifications or addenda issued by the buyer.
