[1] The applicant, Envitech Solutions (Pty) Ltd, seeks an order in the following terms:

1. Reviewing and setting aside the first respondent’s (the Saldanha Bay Municipality) decision that Envitech’s bid for Tender 86/2013 Professional Engineering Services of the development of Langebaan Waste Facility (‘the tender’) did not qualify to be considered;

2. Reviewing and setting aside the first respondent’s allocation of the tender to the second respondent (‘AECOM’); and

3. Setting aside the contract concluded between the Municipality and AECOM in respect of the tender.

[2] The services in respect of which the first respondent has requested tenders are professional engineering and related services, relating to the Langebaan landfill site. It is not in dispute that at the time of the tender the then Langebaan landfill site was rated as one of the worst in the Western Cape in a survey carried out by Afriforum. The tender was issued as one of the steps towards addressing the situation.
