Guidelines to be followed when HWSETA advertises a tender

All bid documents must;

• Reach the HWSETA offices by 11h00 on the closing date of the tender (unless otherwise stated on the tender advert), as no late bids can be accepted;
• Be inserted into the tender box provided for that tender;
• Be signed by the bidder;
• Have original tax clearance certificate/s;
• Comply with the bid specification document;
• Contain relevant information to allow the HWSETA to allocate points for Government’s Socio-economic objectives.

There may be a compulsory briefing session. This will be specified in the Bid Specification document for the tender.

The 90/10 preference system formula must be used for acquisitioning of all goods and or service above R500 000.

Where 90 points are made up of a combination of price and functionality which is detailed in the Bid Specification Document available to all bidders for a tender. If a bidder scores less than 50% on functionality, the bid does not proceed any further.

A maximum of 10 points may be awarded to a bidder for achieving Government’s procurement related socio–economic objectives:

1. The total percentage scored for Broad Based Economic Empowerment must be converted to a point out of a maximum of 10 points. This will be calculated by multiplying the total percentage scored by 10.
2. No points will be awarded for achieving Government’s Broad Based Economic Empowerment objectives if total percentage scored for Broad Based Economic Empowerment is less than the prescribed minimum of 10%.
3. The points scored by the bidder in terms of Broad Based Economic Empowerment must be added to the points scored for price.
4. Only the bid with the highest number of points scored may be selected.

Section 16A9 of the Treasury Regulations on “Avoiding abuse of the supply chain system” requires the HWSETA to take steps to prevent the abuse of the procurement system and to investigate any improper conduct or failure to comply with the supply chain management system.

In terms of Section 16A9.2 the HWSETA is required to disregard the quotations from any supplier where abuse/improper conduct of the supply chain management system has been suspected. This also implies that any subsequent purchase instructions have been voided.
