DATABASE OF RESTRICTED SUPPLIERS 34.1 The process of restriction is used to exclude a company/person from conducting future business with Transnet and other organs of state for a specified period. No Bid shall be awarded to a Bidder whose name (or any of its members, directors, partners or trustees) appear on the Register of Tender Defaulters kept by National Treasury, or who have been placed on National Treasury’s List of Restricted Suppliers. Transnet reserves the right to withdraw an award, or cancel a contract concluded with a Bidder should it be established, at any time, that a bidder has been restricted with National Treasury by another government institution. 34.2 All the stipulations on Transnet’s restriction process as laid down in Transnet’s Supply Chain Policy and Procurement Procedures Manual are included herein by way of reference. Below follows a condensed summary of this restriction procedure. 34.3 On completion of the restriction procedure, Transnet will submit the restricted entity’s details (including the identity number of the individuals and registration number of the entity) to National Treasury for placement on National Treasury’s Database of Restricted Suppliers for the specified period of exclusion. National Treasury will make the final decision on whether to restrict an entity from doing business with any organ of state for a period not exceeding 10 years and place the entity concerned on the Database of Restricted Suppliers published on its official website 34.4 The decision to restrict is based on one of the grounds for restriction. The standard of proof to commence the restriction process is whether a “prima facie” (i.e. on the face of it) case has been established. 34.5 Depending on the seriousness of the misconduct and the strategic importance of the Goods/Services, in addition to restricting a company/person from future business, Transnet may decide to terminate some or all existing contracts with the company/person as well. 34.6 A supplier or contractor to Transnet may not subcontract any portion of the contract to a restricted company.
