Supply of Tools, Testers and Measuring Equipment

Hessequa Municipality, located in Riversdale in the Western Cape, has invited tenders for the supply and delivery of tools, testers and measuring equipment on an as-and-when-required basis for a period of three (3) years. The contract is call-off in nature: the Municipality will order items as operational needs arise rather than committing to a fixed volume, so successful suppliers should be able to respond to ad hoc orders across the contract period. Pricing is to be submitted using the pricing schedule included in the tender documents, and detailed item requirements are set out in the separate specifications document.

Tenders must be submitted on the original tender documents, in individually sealed envelopes endorsed with the tender number, title and closing date, and deposited in the tender box at the Hessequa Municipality Absa Building, corner of Dickson and Church Street, Riversdale, by 12:00 (GMT+2) on Friday, 27 November 2026. Late bids, or bids submitted by email or fax, will not be accepted. Bids remain valid, irrevocable and open for acceptance for 90 days after the closing date. Tender documents cost R200.00 per set (non-refundable) and may be obtained from the Supply Chain Management Office in Riversdale or in electronic format by email. Clarification questions must be submitted by email to leanne@hessequa.gov.za no later than 10 days before closing, and enquiries about specifications may be directed to Mr Earl Swart at (028) 713 8000.

Evaluation follows the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act (Act 5 of 2000), the Preferential Procurement Regulations, 2022 and the Municipality's Preferential Procurement Policy, with 80 points for price, 10 points for B-BBEE contribution and 10 points for locality. Bidders must submit a valid original tax clearance certificate, a B-BBEE certificate and certified copies of directors' identity documents. Suppliers not yet registered on the Central Supplier Database (CSD) are expected to register without delay, and the Municipality reserves the right not to award to unregistered suppliers. The Municipality also reserves the right to withdraw or re-advertise the tender, reject any bid, or accept part of a bid, and is not bound to accept the lowest bid.
