THE SUPPLY AND DELIVERY OF LITTER BIN DECALS AND NO DUMPING SIGNBOARDS

The City of Cape Town has issued a tender in the goods category for litter bin decals and signboards that carry a message against dumping. The notice identifies the requirement by its title alone. It does not set out quantities, sizes, materials, printing or artwork specifications, delivery points, an installation method or a schedule, and it says nothing about where the items are to be used. A bidder has the headline subject of the contract but nothing on which to cost a response until the bid documents are obtained. Because the category is recorded as goods, the contract appears to concern the manufacture and handing over of printed items rather than a service or construction work, though the notice does not say so. No budget, contract period, evaluation criteria or contact details appear in the material provided. The notice does not state what the successful bidder must actually supply beyond the item names, nor what a bidder must submit or be qualified in.
