Supply, delivery, installation and commissioning of two oil-filled 11kV ground-mount metering units for Makhado Local Municipality. Bidders need CIDB grading 3EP or higher and electrical registrations including ORHVS, wireman's licence and DoL electrical contractor status.
Makhado Local Municipality invites suitably qualified service providers to bid for the supply, delivery, installation and commissioning of two (2) oil-filled 11kV ground-mount metering units. The tender is listed as Tender 54 of 2026 (Ref 8/3/2/190, Notice 107/2026) and falls under the Electrical services category. The scope covers the full project lifecycle, from supplying the metering equipment and transporting it to the site, through installation and testing, to commissioning the units so they are ready for operation on the municipal network. The bid is evaluated on an 80/20 preferential points system, with 80 points for price and 20 points for preference goals.
According to the advertised requirements, bidders must hold a CIDB grading of 3EP or higher. Electrical technical personnel must provide a certified copy of a valid ORHVS certificate (modules 1 to 10 or HVO-level 04) and a certified copy of a valid wireman's licence (three-phase or master installer). The bidder must also provide proof of registration with the Department of Labour as an electrical contractor, with an IE or ME (installation or master electrician) number. Note that the advert's requirements block is laid out ambiguously alongside other tenders, so bidders should confirm these electrical requirements against the official bid documents before submitting.
Mandatory administrative documents include a valid SARS tax compliance PIN, company registration documents (CK), certified copies of the owners' ID books (certified within three months), proof of municipal rates payments or a formal lease agreement for business premises (for both the entity and directors), and a full Central Supplier Database (CSD) report. Certified copies of certified documents are not accepted, and incomplete, unsigned, late or emailed bids will be disqualified. Bid documents cost R600.00 (non-refundable) from the Procurement Office, B043, Ground Floor, 83 Krogh Street, Civic Centre, Makhado, or can be downloaded free from the National e-Tender Portal or www.makhado.gov.za. Bids close on 18 November 2026 at 12:00 and must be deposited in the tender box at the Civic Centre foyer. Technical enquiries may be directed to Mr LA Thulare or Mr T Magalela (Director Technical Services) on 015 519 3000, and procurement enquiries to Ms P Mudau or Mr M Ramabulana on 015 519 3044/3024.

This tender is best suited to registered electrical contractors and medium-to-large electrical engineering firms with CIDB grading 3EP or higher and experience in medium-voltage (11kV) switchgear and metering installations. Applicants should hold valid ORHVS certification, a wireman's licence (three-phase or master installer), and Department of Labour electrical contractor registration with an IE or ME number. Suppliers of 11kV metering equipment that can also deliver installation and commissioning, or that partner with qualified electrical contractors, may also be relevant. Businesses must be tax compliant, CSD registered and able to provide the required municipal and ownership documents. Small local contractors may qualify as well if they meet the grading and registration requirements, and the 80/20 preference points may benefit eligible youth-, women-, black- or disability-owned enterprises.
