Rehabilitation of four municipal streets in Makhanda, Eastern Cape, requiring qualified civil contractors to deliver road rehabilitation works. Bids close 17 November 2026 at 12:00 and must be submitted in sealed envelopes per the tender notice.
Makana Local Municipality has invited suitably qualified contractors to tender for the rehabilitation of High Street, African Street, Cawood Street and Knight Street in Makhanda, Eastern Cape. The project forms part of the municipality's infrastructure programme for 2026-27 (reference MLM/2026-27/INFRA/005) and aims to restore the structural condition and serviceability of these urban roads. Road rehabilitation typically covers works such as surface and base repairs, reconstruction of damaged sections, resurfacing, and associated stormwater and kerbing work, and the detailed scope, quantities and specifications are set out in the tender documents, which should be reviewed in full before pricing.
The tender was published on 23 October 2026 and closes on 17 November 2026 at 12:00. According to the bid notice, bids are to be submitted as completed documents in a sealed envelope clearly marked with the tender number and tender name. Bidders should note that the municipality does not bind itself to accept the lowest bid or any bid. Submissions are subject to a Stage 1 evaluation against applicable functionality criteria, and bids that fail to meet the stated requirements may be deemed non-responsive. Bidders should therefore confirm all mandatory documents, returnable forms, and compliance requirements, including tax compliance status, company registration, and any CIDB grading, B-BBEE and local content requirements specified in the tender documents. Technical enquiries must be directed to the contact persons designated in the notice, and clarification should be sought before the closing date.
For contractors, this opportunity offers the chance to deliver visible public infrastructure in a town of cultural and economic significance and to build a track record with a local municipality. Successful delivery of work of this nature can strengthen a contractor's credentials for future municipal and provincial road projects. The works are also expected to benefit local residents, businesses and road users through improved road safety, reduced vehicle damage, and better access along key urban routes. Interested contractors should assess their capacity, equipment, personnel, and financial resources against the project requirements and submit a well-prepared, fully compliant bid by the stated deadline.
This tender is suited to registered civil engineering and road construction contractors with proven experience in urban road rehabilitation and municipal infrastructure projects. Applicants should hold the CIDB registration and grading required for works of this value and type, as stated in the tender documents. Eastern Cape-based contractors and emerging or SMME contractors with relevant experience may be particularly well placed, subject to the preference criteria in the bid documents. Subcontractors and suppliers of road construction materials, plant hire, surveying and traffic management services may also find opportunities by partnering with prime contractors bidding for this project.
