SERVICING, DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, FAULT FINDING AND REPAIRS (HYDRAULIC AND STRUCTURAL) OF AERIAL PLATFORMS, CRANES, TAIL LIFTS, FORKLIFTS, WASTE COMPACTORS AND MISCELLANEOUS ASSET TYPES FOR THE CITY OF CAPE TOWN’S FLEET

The City of Cape Town has issued a tender for servicing and repair work on part of its vehicle and plant fleet. The asset classes named are aerial platforms, cranes, tail lifts, forklifts and waste compactors, with the work extending to hydraulic and structural repairs and to diagnostic testing and fault diagnosis. Other asset types are also referred to in the title without being specified. The notice does not state the contract term, the number of units or sites covered, the response times expected, the evaluation criteria, the qualifications or experience required of bidders, or the documents a submission must contain. The title points to a maintenance and repair requirement on existing equipment rather than the supply of new machines, and to a multi-category fleet rather than a single vehicle type. Only the title, the issuing body and the administrative fields are available, so the practical size and shape of the requirement cannot be established from the material.
