We have recently undertaken a comprehensive review of our Commercial Property Strategy (including Sidings). The revised strategy is designed to optimize rail activity by allocating Transnet Freight Rail commercial properties and sidings for maximum efficiency and volume throughput.
The rail sidings we own play a pivotal role in the organization’s efforts to migrate heavy freight from road-to-rail and introduce new services. These sidings facilitate essential volume consolidation through the common-user approach for rail operations to enhance operational efficiency and effective service delivery.
We are intensifying collaboration with the private sector to attract investments aimed at streamlining the supply chain, reducing complexities, and lowering the cost of operations. This collaborative approach aims to drive increased volume migration from road-to-rail, fostering outcomes that are mutually beneficial for both our customers and our business.
In line with our drive to ensure good corporate governance, leasing of our property/sidings will be going out on open bid tenders which will be advertised on the National Treasury Portal as well as the our Website.
Please Note: All bidders (excluding foreign) must be registered on the National Treasury Central Supplier Database (CSD) in order to bid for Transnet tenders, and only registered suppliers can be awarded business (registered as part of the CSD).
Please note not being registered on the CSD does not prevent one from downloading the bid documents, it only means that they will not be considered for award of business as it is a mandatory requirement.
