______

being duly authorised thereto by a Resolution of the Board of Directors / Certificate of Partners, Members or Participants, as the case may be, dated ______, a certified copy of which is annexed hereto, hereby offer to undertake and complete the above-mentioned work (hereinafter called “the WORKS”) at the prices quoted in the bills of quantities / schedule of quantities or, where these do not form part of the contract, at a lumpsum, in accordance with the terms set forth in the accompanying letter(s) reference ______and dated ______(if any) and the documents listed in the accompanying schedule of tender documents for the sum of R ______

______(amount in words).

N.B. (i) In the event of any discrepancy, the amount in words will take precedence over the amount in figures.

(ii) Where items in the priced bills of quantities submitted with the tender for the WORKS other than architectural building work are incorrectly extended arithmetically, the unit rate will be treated as decisive.

(iii) In tenders for architectural building work the total amount will be treated as decisive. If amounts for individual items cannot be reconciled with the total amount, the amounts for individual items shall be adjusted to the satisfaction of the PRASA to conform to the total amount.

I / We accept that unless the PRASA should otherwise decide and so inform me / us in the notice of acceptance, this tender (and, if any, its covering letter and any subsequent exchange of correspondence together with the PRASA acceptance thereof) shall constitute a binding contract between the PRASA and me / us. Should the PRASA decide that a formal contract should be signed and so inform me / us in the notice of acceptance, this tender (and, if any, its covering letter and any subsequent exchange of correspondence) together with the PRASA notice of acceptance, shall constitute a binding contract between the PRASA and me / us until the formal contract is signed.

I / We undertake to produce acceptable documentary proof of the necessary coverage for Workmen’s Compensation, Securities and Insurance within 30 (thirty) working days of notification of awarding of the contract, and to sign a formal contract if called upon by the PRASA to do so within 7 (seven) working days of notification by the PRASA that the contract documents are ready for signature, failing which I / we accept that the PRASA may, in its sole discretion, withhold any payments due for work done until such time as these formalities have been completed.

I / We undertake to complete the whole of the WORKS within ______

(in words) from the date of notification to me / us of acceptance of the tender, subject to completion in stages if and as laid down in the project specification and to such extensions of time as may be granted. Failing completion of the WORKS or any stage of the WORKS within the period(s) stipulated or by such extended date(s) as may be allowed by the PRASA I / we shall pay to the PRASA in terms of the Conventional Penalties Act 15 of 1962, the penalty for which provision is made in the project specification. The ordering of any alterations, extras, additions or omissions shall not in any way prejudice the PRASA claim for such penalty.

Application for relief from the obligation to pay a penalty will be considered by the PRASA, but shall be granted only if I / we can prove to the reasonable satisfaction of the PRASA that the penalty is out of proportion to the prejudice suffered by the PRASA by reason of the act or omission in respect of which the penalty was stipulated.

I / We declare that this tender holds good until ______

(a minimum period of 180 days from closing date is required).

I / We further agree that if, after I / we have been notified of the acceptance of my / our tender, I / we fail to enter into a formal contract if called upon to do so, or fail to furnish satisfactory security for the due and proper completion of the WORKS, the PRASA may, without prejudice to any other legal remedy which it may have, recover from me / us any expense to which it may have been put in calling for tenders afresh and / or having to accept any less favourable tender.

I / We undertake, in the event of my / our tender being accepted, to deposit with the PRASA as security for the due and proper completion of the WORKS, a Performance Bond issued by a South African registered Bank to the value of ten (10) per cent of the contract price (VAT inclusive).

I/ We declare that, being a company / partnership / close corporation / joint venture, I / we have duly completed the annexe hereto and certified it as correct.

The several documents involved are to be taken as complementary to each other. In the event of any conflict between the content of any of the documents listed in the schedule of tender documents (other than the project specification) and the project specification, the latter shall prevail. In the event of any conflict between the letter that accompanies the tender or other relevant correspondence and the contents of the documents listed in the schedule of tender documents (including the project specification) such letter or correspondence shall prevail.

PRASA continues to support the objectives espoused in the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Codes of Good Practice whenever possible. The idea, therefore, is to promote black owned businesses without attracting undue costs or overloading the Supply Chain Management division’s administrative capabilities. Our commitment is aimed at giving more black owned enterprises an opportunity to participate meaningfully in Prasa’s core business areas.

Prasa in return expects the same kind of commitment to B-BEEE from all current and potential business partners in order to realise these objectives.

PRASA will evaluate B-BBEE in accordance with the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act and its Regulations and where a specific project B-BBEE Scorecard has been issued for a specific tender the Scorecard shall be used to evaluate B-BBEE. Bidders/Tenders will submit B-BBEE certificates issued by one of the SANAS accredited verification agencies or IRBA registered Auditors.

Joint Ventures / Consortiums:

In order to tender for Prasa projects as a joint venture / consortiums the following rules of engagement must be observed at all times without exception:

Prasa will NOT recognise the joint venture / consortium in an event where any of the above conditions have not been adhered to.
