For e-tendering, upload and finalize via Eskom Tender Bulletin site only. Late submissions are disqualified; proof of posting or courier delivery is not proof of delivery. Ensure documents are accessible, uncorrupt, and in English. Mark packages as "ORIGINAL", "COPY", or "ELECTRONIC COPY" with Eskom address, tender number, tenderer details, and authorized representative contact. Seal outer package as "Confidential". Sign all documents in ink (no pencil). No 100% sub-contracting of the scope of work is permitted. Mandatory returnables (e.g., Acknowledgement Form, certificates) must be valid, current, and original where required. Tender validity period applies; extensions may be requested but cannot modify the tender. Eskom employees cannot submit on behalf of tenderers. For e-tendering, ensure submission is finalized before the closing time; no changes are allowed after the deadline.
Evaluation Criteria
Source: Eskom_-_Standard_Conditions_of_Tender.pdfEvaluation follows PPPFA 90/10 or 80/20 preference point system. Basic compliance (original + copy submission) is mandatory; non-compliance disqualifies. Mandatory tender returnables must be submitted by closing time; missing items disqualify. Pre-qualification criteria (if stipulated) must be met. Functionality (if applicable) requires meeting minimum thresholds to proceed. Financial risk assessment may disqualify high-risk tenderers. Price evaluation includes CPA, FOREX exposure, unconditional discounts, technical adjustments, PV, and forecasted invoicing rates. Arithmetical errors are checked; discrepancies between figures and words default to the written amount. B-BBEE level (certificate/CSD report) must be submitted by closing time if a pre-qualification criterion; otherwise, zero points for PPPFA. Specific Goals (e.g., CSDG, CPG) require supporting documentation; failure to submit results in zero points but not disqualification. Tenders are ranked by combined Price + Specific Goals scores. Objective Criteria (if applied) must be stipulated in the Invitation to Tender. Reverse e-auction may be used (prices excluded from initial submission).
Technical Specifications
Source: Eskom_-_Standard_Conditions_of_Tender.pdfScope: Refurbishment of Coal Silos units 1-6 at Tutuka Power Station for a 3-year period.

Standardized specifications and other referenced documents must be obtained and reviewed. All SHEQ (Safety, Health, Environment, Quality) systems, policies, and capabilities must be in place and costed into the tender. Contract Skills Development Goals (CSDG) apply if the contract duration is ≥12 months or meets financial/CIDB thresholds (e.g., contracts of R5 million or more for professional services, or CIDB grading designation of grade 7 or higher for engineering/construction works). Contract Participation Goals (CPG) apply to construction works contracts in General Building (GB) or Civil Engineering (CE) classes with a minimum duration of 6 months and where at least 25% of the main contract could be subcontracted.
