Act, Act 130 of 1993 (‘COIDA’), the supplier shall attach proof of registration/insurance in terms of 

COIDA to Schedule 11. This may take the form of either a certified copy of a valid Letter of Good 

Standing issued by the Compensation Commissioner, or proof of insurance with a licenced 

compensation insurer, from either the supplier’s broker or the insurance company itself. 

8.11 Value Added Tax – Clause 32 of the GCC 

8.11.1 Where a supplier, in the course of carrying on business, delivers taxable supplies exceeding R1 million,

purposes. The supplier’s attention is drawn to Section 23 of the Value Added Tax Act, Act 89 of 1991.

8.11.4 It is the responsibility of the supplier to submit updated original tax clearance certificates to the Supplier 

Management Office (in the Supply Chain Management department on the 8 th Floor, Civic Centre, Cape 

Town) should any current certificate expire during the contract period. Failure to do so may lead to the 

suspension of transactions with the supplier until a valid tax clearance certificate is received (during 

which time the CCT reserves the right to obtain the relevant goods or services from alternative 

sources). 

8.12 Purchase Orders 

The City will issue official Purchase orders for services required under this contract. No work should be 

undertaken without a relevant Purchase Order that is addressed to the successful Tenderer. The

Tenderers should note that the quantities on the Price Schedule are anticipated quantities. It must be 

clearly understood that the Council will order oly those quantities which it actually requires from time to

extend the supplier’s time for performance, with or without the imposition of penalties, in which case the 

extension shall be ratified by the parties by amendment of contract. 

21.3 No provision in a contract shall be deemed to prohibit the obtaining of supplies or services from a national

where the supplies are required, or the supplier’s services are not readily available. 

21.5 Except as provided under GCC Clause 25, a delay by the supplier in the performance of its delivery obligations

time is agreed upon pursuant to GCC Clause 21.2 without the application of penalties. 

21.6 Upon any delay beyond the delivery period in the case of a supplies contract, the purchaser shall, without 

cancelling the contract, be entitled to purchase supplies of a similar quality and up to the same quantity in 

substitution of the goods not supplied in conformity with the contract and to return any goods delivered later at 

the supplier’s expense and risk, or to cancel the contract and buy such goods as may be required to complete 

the contract and, without prejudice to his other rights, be entitled to claim damages from the supplier. 

76


22. Penalties 

22.1 Subject to GCC Clause 25, if the supplier fails to deliver any or all of the goods or to perform the services within 

the period(s) specified in the contract, the purchaser shall, without prejudice to its other remedies under the 

contract, deduct from the contract price, as a penalty, a sum calculated on the delivered price of the delayed 

goods or unperformed services, using the current prime interest rate, calculated for each day of the delay until 

actual delivery or performance. The purchaser may also consider termination of the contract pursuant to GCC 

Clause 23. 

23. Termination for default 

23.1 The purchaser, without prejudice to any other remedy for breach of contract, by written notice of default sent to 

the supplier, may terminate this contract in whole or in part: 

(a) if the supplier fails to deliver any or all of the goods within the period(s) specified in the contract, or within 

any extension thereof granted by the purchaser pursuant to GCC Clause 21.2; 

(b) if the supplier fails to perform any other obligation(s) under the contract; or 

(c) if the supplier, in the judgment of the purchaser, has engaged in corrupt or fraudulent practices in 

competing for or in executing the contract. 

23.2 In the event the purchaser terminates the contract in whole or in part, the purchaser may procure, upon such 

terms and in such manner as it deems appropriate, goods, works or services similar to those undelivered, and 

the supplier shall be liable to the purchaser for any excess costs for such similar goods, works or services. 

However, the supplier shall continue performance of the contract to the extent not terminated. 

23.3 Where the purchaser terminates the contract in whole or in part, the purchaser may decide to impose a 

restriction penalty on the supplier by prohibiting such supplier from doing business with the public sector for a 

period not exceeding 10 years. 

23.4 If a purchaser intends imposing a restriction on a supplier or any person associated with the supplier, the 

supplier will be allowed a time period of not more than 14 (fourteen) days to provide reasons why the envisaged 

restriction should not be imposed. Should the supplier fail to respond within the stipulated 14 (fourteen) days the 

purchaser may regard the intended penalty as not objected against and may impose it on the supplier. 

23.5 Any restriction imposed on any person by the Accounting Officer/Authority will, at the discretion of the 

Accounting Officer/Authority, also be applicable to any other enterprise or any partner, manager, director or 

other person who wholly or partly exercises or exercised or may exercise control over the enterprise of the firstmentioned 

person, and with which enterprise or person the first-mentioned person is or was, in the opinion of 

the Accounting Officer/Authority, actively associated. 

23.6 If a restriction is imposed, the purchaser must, within 5 (five) working days of such imposition, furnish the 

National Treasury with the following information: 

(i) the name and address of the supplier and/or person restricted by the purchaser; 

(ii) the date of commencement of the restriction; 

(iii) the period of restriction; and 

(iv) the reasons for the restriction. 

These details will be loaded in the National Treasury’s central database of suppliers or persons prohibited from 

doing business with the public sector. 

23.7 If a court of law convicts a person of an offence as contemplated in sections 12 or 13 of the Prevention and 

Combating of Corrupt Activities Act, Act 12 of 2004, the court may also rule that such person’s name be 

endorsed on the Register for Tender Defaulters. When a person’s name has been endorsed on the Register, 

the person will be prohibited from doing business with the public sector for a period of not less than five years 

and not more than 10 years. The National Treasury is empowered to determine the period of restriction, and 

each case will be dealt with on its own merits. According to section 32 of the Act the Register must be open to 

the public. The Register can be perused on the National Treasury website. 

24. Anti-dumping and countervailing duties and rights 

24.1 When, after the date of bid, provisional payments are required, or anti-dumping or countervailing duties are 

imposed, or the amount of a provisional payment or anti-dumping or countervailing right is increased in respect 

of any dumped or subsidised import, the State is not liable for any amount so required or imposed, or for the 

amount of any such increase. When, after the said date, such a provisional payment is no longer required or 

77


any such anti-dumping or countervailing right is abolished, or where the amount of such provisional payment or 

any such right is reduced, any such favourable difference shall, on demand, be paid forthwith by the contractor 

to the State, or the State may deduct such amounts from moneys (if any) which may otherwise be due to the 

contractor in regard to supplies or services which he or she delivered or rendered, or is to deliver or render in 

terms of the contract or any other contract or any other amount which may be due to him or her. 

25. Force majeure 

25.1 Notwithstanding the provisions of GCC Clauses 22 and 23, the supplier shall not be liable for forfeiture of its 

performance security, damages, or termination for default if, and to the extent that, his delay in performance or 

other failure to perform his obligations under the contract is the result of an event of force majeure. 

25.2 If a force majeure situation arises, the supplier shall notify the purchaser promptly, in writing, of such condition 

and the cause thereof. Unless otherwise directed by the purchaser in writing, the supplier shall continue to 

perform its obligations under the contract as far as is reasonably practical, and shall seek all reasonable 

alternative means for performance not prevented by the force majeure event. 

26. Termination for insolvency 

26.1 The purchaser may at any time terminate the contract by giving written notice to the supplier if the supplier 

becomes bankrupt or otherwise insolvent. In this event, termination will be without compensation to the supplier, 

provided that such termination will not prejudice or affect any right of action or remedy which has accrued or will 

accrue thereafter to the purchaser. 

27. Settlement of Disputes 

27.1 If any dispute or difference of any kind whatsoever arises between the purchaser and the supplier in connection 

with or arising out of the contract, the parties shall make every effort to resolve such dispute or difference 

amicably, by mutual consultation. 

27.2 If, after 30 (thirty) days, the parties have failed to resolve their dispute or difference by such mutual consultation, 

then either the purchaser or the supplier may give notice to the other party of his intention to commence with 

mediation. No mediation in respect of this matter may be commenced unless such notice is given to the other 

party. 

27.3 Should it not be possible to settle a dispute by means of mediation, it may be settled in a South African court of 

law. 

27.4 Mediation proceedings shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of procedure specified in the SCC. 

27.5 Notwithstanding any reference to mediation and/or court proceedings herein, 

a. the parties shall continue to perform their respective obligations under the contract unless they otherwise 

agree; and 

b. the purchaser shall pay the supplier any monies due to the supplier. 

28. Limitation of Liability 

28.1 Except in cases of criminal negligence or willful misconduct, and in the case of infringement pursuant to 

Clause 6: 

a. the supplier shall not be liable to the purchaser, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, for any indirect or 

consequential loss or damage, loss of use, loss of production, or loss of profits or interest costs, provided 

that this exclusion shall not apply to any obligation of the supplier to pay penalties and/or damages to the 

purchaser; and 

b. the aggregate liability of the supplier to the purchaser, whether under the contract, in tort or otherwise, shall 

not exceed the total contract price, provided that this limitation shall not apply to the cost of repairing or 

replacing defective equipment. 

29. Governing language 

29.1 The contract shall be written in English. All correspondence and other documents pertaining to the contract that is 

exchanged by the parties shall also be written in English.

31.1 Every written acceptance of a bid shall be posted to the supplier concerned by registered or certified mail, and 

any other notice to him shall be posted by ordinary mail, to the address furnished in his bid or to the address 

notified later by him in writing; and such posting shall be deemed to be proper service of such notice. 

31.2 The time mentioned in the contract documents for performing any act after such aforesaid notice has been 

given, shall be reckoned from the date of posting of such notice.

32.1 A foreign supplier shall be entirely responsible for all taxes, stamp duties, licence fees, and other such levies 

imposed outside the purchaser’s country. 

32.2 A local supplier shall be entirely responsible for all taxes, duties, licence fees, etc., incurred until delivery of the
