Supply of Colilert, Enterolert, Pseudalert and Snap Duo ST Plus microbiological test kits, plus instrument spares and accessories, for water and dairy testing. Tenders close 10 December 2026 at 11:00.
Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality has invited tenders under reference SCM/1392/S/2026-2027 for the supply and delivery of microbiological testing kits and laboratory instrument spares. The required products are Colilert, Enterolert, Pseudalert and Snap Duo ST Plus testing kits, which are used for the microbiological analysis of water and dairy products. Colilert is used to detect total coliforms and E. coli, Enterolert to detect enterococci, and Pseudalert to detect Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The tender also covers instrument spares and accessories needed to keep the associated laboratory equipment operating. The advert does not state quantities, delivery locations, or contract duration, so interested bidders should review the full tender document for these details.
Tender documents are available at a non-refundable fee of R608.89 per set from the Supply Chain Management Tender Office at Harrower Road, North End, Gqeberha, or from the Supply Chain Management Office at 17 Sellick Street, Uitenhage (Kariega). Payment must be made at the cashiers in Gqeberha or the Treasury Office in Uitenhage, and proof of payment must be provided. The municipality reserves the right not to consider tenders from bidders who are not registered on the NMBM supplier database, so suppliers should register before submitting. Bids must be submitted on the original stamped documentation provided by the municipality, placed in sealed envelopes clearly marked with the contract number and description, and delivered to a tender box at either office between 08:00 and 16:00 on weekdays. The closing deadline is 11:00 on 10 December 2026, and late tenders will not be accepted. Tender validity is 90 days. Public opening takes place shortly after 11:00 on the closing day at the Harrower Road boardroom and at the Kariega office.
The municipality does not bind itself to accept the lowest or any tender. It promotes the participation of previously disadvantaged small and medium enterprises, and the preference point system is set out in its Supply Chain Management Policy, which can be obtained from the Director: Supply Chain Management. Bidders should also check whether any compulsory site meeting or briefing session applies, because under Section 22 of the SCM Policy, bids from prospective bidders who did not attend a prescribed compulsory meeting will not be considered. Awarding a contract for this tender would give the successful supplier a recurring revenue stream from a public sector client, supporting water quality monitoring and dairy testing programmes in the metro.
This tender suits suppliers and distributors of laboratory consumables, microbiological test kits, and analytical instrument spare parts, including authorised distributors or agents for the named test brands. Laboratory service providers and water and dairy testing firms that can supply these products directly may also be relevant. Bidders should be registered on the NMBM supplier database, able to provide official stamped bid documentation, and, where applicable, qualify under the municipality's preference scheme for previously disadvantaged small and medium enterprises. Businesses without authorised supply or distribution rights for these specific products are unlikely to be competitive.
