Breedt, Ms T to ask the Minister of Transport
(1) What is the current status of the private sector participation tender regarding the Ngqura Container Terminal in Port Elizabeth; (2) whether there are sufficient bid submissions to proceed with the specified tender in its original format; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details; (3) whether any changes will be made to the tender guidelines to improve private sector participation in the tender process; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details; (4) whether she will make a statement on the matter?
Reply:
The National Department of Transport has not issued a tender in respect to private sector participation for the Ngqura Container Terminal in Port Elizabeth.
The Office of the CFO decided to conduct a quick search to assist the Parliamentary office in routing the Parliamentary Question to the applicable organization and we believe this bid was issued by Transnet.
The Departmental Supply Chain Management office does not have any information related to tender in question and humbly requests that the enquiry be re-routed to Transnet.
