Tender notice

22 August

A tender notice or advert will usually give the following information.

  •  Type of item/work in question;
  •  Name and address of the tender authority;
  •  The tender enquiry reference number and/or date;
  •  The cost of and the last date for collection of bid document;
  •  Due date and/or time for submission of tender papers;
  •  Information on how to obtain the tender documents;
  •  Any other Instructions or information.

This will help you decide whether your company is capable of meeting the requirements. Only if you are sure it can should you apply for the contract. If you get the contract and default on it, you will be placed in the restricted supplier database for a maximum of 10 years.

Tenders are classified into two broad categories:

  •  Goods and services:
  1. For tenders under R30 000 the relevant government department will usually approach three registered providers for a quote – this is why registration on the database is important;
  2. Tenders of more than R30 000 must generally be advertised to all subscribers;
  3. Tenders over R200 000 must be advertised and formally adjudicated.
  •  Building and engineering:
  1. Tenders over R2-million have to be adjudicated and formally advertised;
  2. Tenders below R2-million are seen as minor and under R100 000 as micro.

Tender documents vary from province to province, or between councils, so you should contact the tender issuer directly to ensure you get the correct forms. Only completed original forms are accepted, and late submissions will be refused.
