Bolts Tenders

The closing date and time for submitting quotations is April 10, 2026. Quotations received after this date and time will not be accepted.

Quotations will be evaluated on the 80/20 point scoring system, where 80 points are allocated to price and 20 points for specific goals as per PPPFA 2022.

All suppliers responding to quotations should be registered on the Central Supplier Database (CSD). Specific goals for SMME, EME, or QSE companies that are 51% or more black-owned are also a qualification criterion.

The bid notice requests bidders to indicate the period of delivery on their quotation, which will be regarded as binding if they win the award.

The bid notice does not explicitly state the payment terms. However, standard practice for municipal entities in South Africa is typically payment within 30 days of invoice and delivery, as indicated in the general contract forms.

The bid notice states that bids will be adjudicated in terms of the Municipal Supply Chain Management Policy and the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act, using an 80/20 preferential points allocation system. Points will be awarded for price (80 points) and specific goals (20 points).

Bidders must submit a copy of their company registration certificate reflecting active members (except for sole traders and partnerships), be registered with the Central Supplier Database (CSD) and submit a copy of the CSD summary report. In case of a JV, all parties must be registered on CSD. Bidders are required to submit their unique personal identification number (PIN) issued by SARS to enable the municipality to view the taxpayers profile and tax status. All supplementary forms contained in the bid documents must be completed in full, and proof that municipal rates and taxes are not in arrears for more than three months must be submitted. In bids where consortia, joint ventures, or subcontractors are involved, each party must submit a separate tax compliance status (TCS) certificate and PIN/CSD number.

The bid notice does not explicitly detail penalties for non-compliance or late delivery. However, it does mention that failure to comply with the mentioned conditions may invalidate the bid.

The bid notice does not specify a deadline for challenging the bid results.

The bid notice states that implementation must commence within seven 7 calendar days from receipt of the official order.

The bid notice mentions that the submission of safe disposal certificates will be a prerequisite for the processing of payment certificates. It also states that failure to comply with VAT invoice requirements will result in payments not being made timeously.

The bid notice states that quotations will be evaluated in terms of preferential procurement regulations, 2022, preferential procurement policy of council, and the **** preference point system.

The bid notice states that the contractor must be registered with the CIDB with a grading designation of 1CE or higher. A valid CIDB certificate must be submitted. The contractor must also submit a minimum of two practical completion certificates or reference letters for projects of a similar nature, and a valid letter of good standing (COID) must be submitted.

The bid notice mentions that noncompliant contractors will be fined. It also states that if specific goals have been claimed or obtained on a fraudulent basis or any of the conditions of contract have not been fulfilled, the organ of state may, in addition to any other remedy it may have, disqualify the person, recover costs, cancel the contract, recommend restriction from obtaining business, and forward the matter for criminal prosecution.
