SBD 9 CERTIFICATE OF INDEPENDENT BID DETERMINATION

1 This Standard Bidding Document (SBD) must form part of all bids¹ invited.

2 Section 4 (1) (b) (iii) of the Competition Act No. 89 of 1998, as amended, prohibits

an agreement between, or concerted practice by, firms, or a decision by an

association of firms, if it is between parties in a horizontal relationship and if it

involves collusive bidding (or bid rigging).² Collusive bidding is a pe se prohibition

meaning that it cannot be justified under any grounds.

3 Treasury Regulation 16A9 prescribes that accounting officers and accounting authorities must take all reasonable steps to prevent abuse of the supply chain management system and authorizes accounting officers and accounting authorities to:

a. disregard the bid of any bidder if that bidder, or any of its directors have

abused the institution’s supply chain management system and or committed fraud or any other improper conduct in relation to such system.

b. cancel a contract awarded to a supplier of goods and services if the supplier

committed any corrupt or fraudulent act during the bidding process or the execution of that contract.

4 This SBD serves as a certificate of declaration that would be used by institutions to

ensure that, when bids are considered, reasonable steps are taken to prevent any

form of bid-rigging.

5 In order to give effect to the above, the attached Certificate of Bid Determination

(SBD 9) must be completed and submitted with the bid:

¹ Includes price quotations, advertised competitive bids, limited bids and proposals.

² Bid rigging (or collusive bidding) occurs when businesses, that would otherwise be

expected to compete, secretly conspire to raise prices or lower the quality of goods

and / or services for purchasers who wish to acquire goods and / or services through

a bidding process. Bid rigging is, therefore, an agreement between competitors not

to compete.

the contract documentation and of which due cognisance must be taken in the bidding

process.

In this document words in the singular also mean in the plural and vice versa and words in the

masculine also mean in the feminine and neuter.

The General Conditions of Contract (GCC) also forms part of all bidding documents and must be

read in conjunction with this Special Conditions of Contract.

Whenever there is a conflict between the GCC and the SCC, the provisions in the SCC shall

prevail.

1.1. Bid Submission

1.1.1. Bidders will be permitted to submit bids by:

Hand: 34 Hamilton Street, Arcadia, Pretoria. Compulsory briefing session will be held on Friday, 27 June 2014 at 34 Hamilton street, Arcadia, Pretoria at 11h00.

1.2. Validity of Bids

1.2.1. Bidders are required to submit bids valid for 120 days.

1.3. Two-stage Bidding

1.3.1. For this bid a two-stage bidding procedure will be used, under which first un-

priced technical proposals on the basis of a conceptual design or

performance specifications are scored. The price proposal will only be

considered after the technical proposal has been confirmed as being

competent and compliant through achieving the minimum qualifying threshold

percentage of 65%.

1.3.2. Suppliers are requested to submit their proposal in separate envelopes, with

the technical proposal separated from the price proposal.

1.3.3 A minimum number of five (5) copies of the technical proposal with one

(1) original that totals 6 copies as well as six copies of the pricing proposal

which must be in a separate envelope clearly marked as such.


The GPAA reserves the right to conduct a due diligence exercise on bidders

including but not limited to a presentation.

1.5.2 Requests for clarification needed to evaluate bids and the bidder’s responses

should be made in writing.

1.5.1. If a bid is not substantially responsive, that is, it contains material deviations

from or reservations to the terms, conditions and specifications in the bidding

not be considered further.

1.5.2. The bidder will not be permitted to correct or withdraw material deviations or

reservations once bids have been opened.

1.6. Rejection of all Bids

GPAA reserves the right to reject of all bids if and when deemed necessary.

This is justified when there is lack of effective competition, or bids are not

substantially responsive.

1.7. Associations between Consultants

1.7.1. Consultants are encouraged to associate with each other to complement their

empowerment credentials and their respective areas of expertise, or for other

reasons. Such an association may be for the long term (independent of any

the form of a joint venture or a sub consultancy.

1.7.2. Consultants who do form a joint venture will agree on their terms and

conditions and inform the GPAA of the details of such a joint venture for

approval. .
