The document is an Occupational Health and Safety Baseline Risk Assessment template for Apollo and Centralised Services (Secondary Plant). It provides a framework for identifying workplace hazards, assessing risks, and implementing control measures. The template includes consequence criteria (1-6 scale from near misses to multiple fatalities), likelihood criteria (A-E scale from highly unlikely to unavoidable), and a risk matrix combining these to determine priority ratings. Risk Control Effectiveness is assessed as Fully Effective, Mostly Effective, Mostly Ineffective, or None. This is a supporting OHS document rather than the main tender scope description for DC Workshop Production Equipment.

Returnable Documents: No submission guidelines found in the provided document. The extracted document is an OHS Baseline Risk Assessment template for Apollo and Centralised Services, not the main tender document. Bidders should refer to the full tender documentation for submission requirements.

Not applicable. The document does not contain procurement eligibility criteria.

The provided document is an Occupational Health and Safety Baseline Risk Assessment template for Apollo and Centralised Services (CS). It contains risk assessment methodology for office activities including: hazard identification, risk types (safety/health), consequence ratings (1-6 scale), likelihood ratings (A-E), risk priority ratings (I-IV), and risk control effectiveness measures. Identified office hazards include: handling hot liquids (hydroboil, kettles), microwave use, faulty kitchen appliances, excessive computer use, glare, workstation layout, cleaning agents, inadequate ventilation, poor illumination, stairs, and uneven floor surfaces. Control measures follow hierarchy: elimination, substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls, and PPE. Control owner designated as Senior Supervisor. This document appears to be a supporting OHS document rather than the main technical specifications for DC Workshop Production Equipment procurement.

No specific compliance requirements found in the provided document. The OHS template references various legislation including: Occupational Health and Safety Act 85 of 1993 (Sections 8, 14, 18, 19, 24), General Administrative Regulations 2003, General Safety Regulations 1986, Facilities Regulations 2004, Environmental Regulations for Workplaces 1987, Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act 130 of 1993, Ergonomics Regulations 2019/2020, and various Eskom internal procedures.

This document outlines the requirements for Contract Price Adjustment (CPA) and the application of importation payment requirements for foreign goods and services. It details how CPA is applied based on contract duration, the structure of CPA formulas, and the base date/price calculations. It also specifies various payment methods for imported goods and services, including documentation requirements for each, and addresses exchange rate management and payment for services involving overseas specialists.

Closing Time: 12H00

Department: Department of Customs and Excise

Unable to extract eligibility criteria

The document focuses on Contract Price Adjustment (CPA) and foreign currency payment terms, not technical specifications for the equipment.

For services requiring specialist skills from overseas:

1) Secondment: Foreign specialist retains employment overseas, is seconded to the local company, and invoices the local supplier in foreign currency. Requires Commercial Invoice from specialist, Local Invoice, Specialist's Passport & Work Permit, and Activity Schedule signed by the contract manager.

2) Payroll Transfer: Specialist's contract with the overseas employer is suspended, and they take up a local contract with the local company. Remuneration is ZAR-based. No foreign invoice is provided by the overseas employer as the employment is suspended. This methodology is favoured for long-term engagement, and the contract will be in ZAR.

Contract Price Adjustment (CPA) conditions may apply for contracts longer than 12 months. For contracts of 12 months or less, a fixed-price offer is required. CPA is not applicable for the first year of contracts exceeding 12 months; it applies from year two onwards. Failure to propose a CPA formula will result in a fixed price. Rate of Exchange adjustments are not permitted in CPA formulas. Local indices may not be used for CPA on imported components. Separate CPA formulas are required for local and foreign components. A minimum of 15% of the total agreement value must be fixed when a CPA formula is applied. Each CPA formula must sum to 100%. Only official, published CPA indices are allowed. No in-house indices. Multiple CPA formulas or a single combined formula may be used. Individual formulas may be used for specific line items like Labour and Transport. NTCSA reserves the right to negotiate CPA terms. Base Date for monthly indices is the month before the enquiry closes. Base Price for daily or more frequent figures is the average for the month before the enquiry closes. For professional services, the preferred index is the country-specific CPI Headline index. Price adjustment factors for professional services are effective from each contractual anniversary, based on the average CPI Headline index for the preceding twelve months.

This document (Annexure E) provides Contract Price Adjustment (CPA) requirements for local goods and services under NTCSA tenders. It establishes the framework for price adjustment formulas, index selection, base dates, and fixed pricing requirements. This annexure does not apply to professional services contracts, which have separate guidelines.

Returnable Documents: Not specified in this document. Bidders must refer to the main ITT document for returnable requirements. The CPA annexure does not contain submission guidelines — only the signature block at the end (closing date, tenderer name, authorised signatory details).

Tenderers must comply with NTCSA's CPA conditions, including using official published indices and adhering to the specified fixed portion (minimum 15%). Proposals must be structured according to the provided template or the pricing schedule. NTCSA reserves the right to negotiate CPA terms during negotiations.

CPA Pricing Schedule Requirements:

• Submit CPA aligned to NTCSA's proposed CPA breakdown in the tender, or submit an acceptable alternative.
• If NTCSA's proposed CPA breakdown is not populated, refer to the Pricing Schedule in the NEC contract or standalone Pricing Schedule.
• CPA conditions apply only if contractual duration exceeds 12 months.
• Contracts of 12 months or less require fixed pricing.
• Minimum 15% of total agreement value must be fixed when using a CPA formula.

• Use official published indices only — no in-house indices.
• Separate formulas required for local and foreign cost components.
• Individual formulas may be used for Labour and Transport line items.
• Base Date for monthly indices: month before enquiry closing month.
• Base Date for daily/frequent references: average of month before enquiry closing month.

Professional Services (if applicable):

• Use country-specific CPI Headline index for adjustments.
• Price adjustment effective from each contractual anniversary.
• Use average of CPI Headline figures for the 12-month period ending before contract anniversary.

CPA Compliance Requirements:
