This document is the Tender Technical Evaluation Strategy (TES) for the scope: Execution of Alterations to Existing Building Structures including Construction & Commissioning Supervision at Kusile Power Station (Unique Identifier: KUS-20250643, Revision 1). It defines the evaluation methodology, criteria, and scoring principles for assessing tender submissions. The strategy is governed by Eskom's Tender Technical Evaluation Procedure (240-48929482), Eskom Procurement Policy (32-1034), and Internal Audit Procedure (474-59). The related Scope of Work document is KUS-20250644. The TES was compiled by L. Thipa (Civil Engineer), authorised by S. Nkomo (Auxiliary Engineering Manager) and S. Hlongwa (Engineering Group Manager). The technical evaluation threshold is 70%. The evaluation uses a weighted scorecard with mandatory pass/fail criteria and qualitative weighted criteria covering key personnel experience (67%), organisational structure (15%), and project programme (10%). Six core TET members evaluate submissions. Unacceptable technical risks include exclusion of proof of completed similar projects and exclusion of professional registration certificates for key personnel.

Submission method and address are not stated in this evaluation strategy document; they will be specified in the formal tender invitation. Returnable documents required with the tender:

• Verifiable reference letters and completion certificates for a minimum of two projects completed within the past 10 years, directly related to building alterations and additions of comparable nature and complexity. Each document must be on the client's official letterhead and state project name, description, scope, contract value, completion date, tenderer's role, and referee contact details.
• Declaration letter confirming authenticity of all submitted references and certificates; forged or falsified documents lead to disqualification.
• CVs and certified supporting documents for all 13 key personnel roles (Architectural Professional, Structural Engineer, Geotechnical Engineer, Mechanical Engineer HVAC, Mechanical Engineer Fire Protection, C&I Engineer, Electrical Engineer, Site Agent, Foreman Ceiling & Partitioning, Foreman HVAC, Fire Alarm Technician, Electrical Installation Electrician, Commissioning/Testing Engineer). Each CV must be accompanied by certified copies of qualifications, professional registration certificates (SACAP, ECSA, SACPCMP, SAQCC, DOL), and ID copies, all certified within the last three months.
• Organisational structure chart showing proposed delivery model, key personnel with reporting lines, design management structure, design-construction interface, subcontracting/JV arrangements, and signed JV/consortium agreements or letters of commitment on partner letterhead.
• Detailed project programme (Gantt chart or equivalent) showing phases, milestones, critical path, resource allocation, sequencing, contingency planning, and monitoring/reporting mechanisms.

Disqualification risks: omission of any mandatory returnable document, unsigned forms, forged/falsified documents, failure to meet minimum 70% technical threshold, exclusion of proof of completed similar projects, or exclusion of professional registration certificates for key personnel.

Two-stage technical evaluation:

1. Mandatory technical criteria (pass/fail):

• Minimum two completed projects within the past 10 years of similar scope (building alterations/additions with multi-disciplinary coordination including electrical, C&I, structural, HVAC, fire protection). Verifiable reference letters and completion certificates on client letterhead required.
