Comprehensive Diagnostic Assessment of Aircraft Tugs

Description

South African Airways Technical (SAAT) is inviting service providers to perform a comprehensive diagnostic assessment on three aircraft tugs. The work involves inspecting one TLD TMX 650 tug and two Goldhofer Bison tugs. The assessment must follow Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) guidelines using approved diagnostic equipment. The service provider is required to identify all mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic faults and provide a detailed report for each unit. Additionally, the provider must submit a separate quotation for any necessary repairs identified during the process. The work must be completed in accordance with fire safety regulations. Bidders are encouraged to attend a site viewing on 21 October 2026. The project requires a quick turnaround, as lead times of 10 days or less are prioritized during the evaluation process.
