Supply and delivery of 11 gas detectors and 6 gas bump test machines to Transnet depots across the Central Region. Bids must use Transnet's online pricing schedule and close on 10 November 2026 at 10:00 via the TDPS eSupplier Portal.
Transnet SOC Ltd has issued a Request for Quotations (RFQ TPL/2026/10/0697/13596/RFQ) for the supply and delivery of eleven (11) gas detectors and six (6) gas bump test machines to various depots within its Central Region. The procurement falls under the electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning category and is a safety-related requirement. Gas detectors are used to monitor for hazardous gas concentrations in operational environments, and gas bump test machines are used to verify that detectors respond correctly by exposing them to a known test gas. The RFQ was published on 6 November 2026 under Transnet's supplier process reference PPA 172973.
Bidders must submit their responses electronically through the Transnet Digital Procurement System (TDPS) eSupplier Portal, which is accessed via the Transnet eTenders platform. Bidders must register or sign in, log their intent to respond, and upload their bid documents against the selected tender. The closing date and time is 10 November 2026 at 10:00, and late submissions will be disqualified. Transnet recommends uploading at least one day before the closing date to avoid problems caused by internet speed, bandwidth, or file size. Each upload may be up to 30MB, and multiple uploads are permitted. Clarification questions must be submitted through the system or emailed to the designated contact, Zotha Mthethwa, before the closing time.
The mandatory returnable document is the Transnet online system-generated pricing schedule, which must be fully completed on the portal. Any other pricing format will not be accepted, and failure to quote on it will result in disqualification. Essential documents include the SBD1 form, the RFQ Declaration and Breach of Law Form, and the Protection of Personal Information (POPI) declaration. Bids are evaluated on a 80/20 split between price and B-BBEE status, with 20 points awarded to B-BBEE Level 1 or 2 contributors. Evidence such as a B-BBEE certificate, sworn affidavit, or CIPC certificate must be provided to claim these points. Bidders must also hold a valid SARS Tax Compliance Status PIN or a Central Supplier Database (CSD) number, as an invalid or missing tax compliance submission may render a bid invalid. Bids must remain valid for 180 days after the closing date, and delivery is required to the Transnet site at Cnr R42 & Poortjie Road, Jameson Park, Nigel, 1491, with other Central Region depots as specified in the tender documents. Transnet reserves the right to split the award among multiple suppliers, award only a portion of the scope, or cancel the process.
This tender suits suppliers and distributors of industrial gas detection and safety testing equipment, including authorised dealers, OEM representatives, and importers of gas detectors and bump test or calibration systems. Companies with experience supplying to state-owned enterprises, Transnet, or similar industrial clients will be well placed. Bidders should hold a valid SARS Tax Compliance PIN or CSD registration, have B-BBEE Level 1 or 2 status to earn the full specific goals points, and be able to deliver to the Central Region within the required timeframe. Registered Transnet suppliers with existing safety equipment supply contracts are also strong candidates. Businesses without a product offering in this category, or those unable to meet the 10 November 2026 deadline or the mandatory pricing schedule requirements, should not apply.
