Supply and Delivery of Brush Cutters and Chainsaws

Swellendam Municipality, in the Western Cape, has issued quotation notice SMQ32-26-27 for the supply and delivery of brush cutters and chainsaws. The requirement covers the procurement of outdoor power equipment for municipal operations, such as vegetation management, grass cutting, and tree and branch maintenance. Official quotation documents are available from the Supply Chain Management Unit at 11 Lind Street, Swellendam, by telephone on 028 514 8500 or by email at scm@swellendam.gov.za, from 29 October 2026. Technical enquiries must be submitted in writing to the designated official, Louis Mralasi, at smralasi@swellendam.gov.za. Enquiries will not be handled during the last two days before closing.

Quotations must be submitted only on the prescribed documents, placed in a sealed envelope clearly marked with the quotation number and description, and deposited in the Municipal Quotation Box at the Supply Chain Management Offices before 11:00 on 13 November 2026. Each submission must include a valid Tax Compliance Status PIN issued by SARS. Late quotations, and quotations submitted by email or facsimile, will not be considered. Bidders must list at least one similar project in the schedule of work experience. Quotations will be evaluated using the 80/20 preference point system, and the Council does not bind itself to accept the lowest or any quotation. Bids remain valid for 60 days from the closing date.

Suppliers that can provide compliant, well-specified equipment with reliable delivery and after-sales support to municipal standards are well placed to respond. Successful bidders benefit from a public-sector contract with a stable government client, and the requirement is a clear opportunity for established equipment dealers, suppliers of forestry and garden machinery, and distributors with a track record in municipal supply. Bidders should carefully review the prescribed documents, confirm their tax compliance status, and prepare their work-experience references before the deadline.
