Disposal of 250mva transformer – vulcan substation (one‑off contract)

eTendering system is a web-based system that allows suppliers bidding for various tenders advertised

on Tender Bulletin system to “upload” their tender documents. Currently the tenderers or suppliers

submit tender documents at various Eskom tender offices. eTendering system replaces the manual or

physical submission of tender documents at various Eskom tender offices. eTendering system in a

nutshell is an electronic box where tender documents can be “dropped” or “uploaded”. Suppliers will

be required to register their details before they can be granted access to the eTendering system. An

OTP (one time pin) will be sent to both their cell phone and email address.

Quick and direct access is also available by using the following links:

• TenderBulletin Public website: https://tenderbulletin.eskom.co.za - this is used by members

of the public, to view and access Eskom published tenders. eTendering hyperlink will be found

on this site. Members of the public may follow prompt instructions once they have clicked on

the eTendering link (https://eTendering.eskom.co.za). This link will allow them to upload the

required tender documentation.

• eTendering website Public website: https://eTendering.eskom.co.za - this is used by

members of the public, to view information about published tenders and submit their tender

documents.

• N.B: Members of the public would need to have a CSD number to gain access to

eTendering system.

2 Problems

A channel of communication has been created in case users of the system experiences a problem

with the system. In a case users come across some difficulties in using Tender bulletin, eTendering

and OpenText systems they need to contact the buyer responsible for the published tender.

3 What’s New

A new functionality to “add closed tenders”. Closed tenders refers to the tenders which are not listed

on Tenderbulletin as normal tenders, but are tenders sent directly to the relevant and potential

suppliers who meet the selection and evaluation criteria to offer what the buyer needs. These

suppliers will be sent a link via email to bid privately.
