PANEL OF SERVICE PROVIDERS FOR HIRING PLANT AND EQUIPMENTClosed

Overview

Panel of Service Providers for Hiring Plant and Equipment. Ndlambe Local Municipality invites service providers to be listed on a panel for hiring plant and equipment for municipal use. Target bidders are plant-hire companies and contractors with operable trucks/plants, including operators with competency for TLBs, graders, and lowbeds. The process is an Open-Tender to establish the panel (two bid numbers: T05/2627 and T06/2627).

Requirements

• For each truck/plant offered: a photograph, proof of ownership or letter of intent from the plant hire company, and a photograph of the valid licence disc.
• Drivers: copies of valid driver’s licence and a valid PDP.
• Operators: TLB, graders, and lowbed truck/trailer operators must submit valid proof of competency.
• Minimum requirements are explicitly stated and non-compliance renders the bid non-responsive (ERRATUM No.1 and bid notice).

Minimum functionality criteria include a Company Experience score of 100 and a minimum functionality score of 60 (as part of the evaluation).
