5. CERTIFICATE OF INDEPENDENT BID DETERMINATION
5.1. This Standard Bidding Document (SBD) must form part of all bids¹ invited/ submitted.
5.2. 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 per se prohibition meaning that it
cannot be justified under any grounds.
5.3. 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:
5.3.1. 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.
5.3.2. 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.
5.4. 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.
5.5. In order to give effect to the above, the attached Certificate of Bid Determination 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.

combat any restrictive practices related to bids and contracts, bids that are
suspicious will be reported to the Competition Commission for investigation and
possible imposition of administrative penalties in terms of section 59 of the
Competition Act No 89 of 1998 and or may be reported to the National Prosecuting
Authority (NPA) for criminal investigation and or may be restricted from conducting
business with the public sector for a period not exceeding ten (10) years in terms of
the Prevention and Combating of Corrupt Activities Act No 12 of 2004 or any other

stated within the policy. The functionality points for qualifying bids/tenders will be
combined with the points scored for price which will not exceed 80 or 90 points.

51 - 100% = 2 points

Ownership – 25% or more = 1 point
Management – 25% or more = 1 point
8.3.7. Disability
