1. The Supplier Payment Term Policy, 240-165040111, (“the Policy”) is in line with the optimised

benefit financially from either extending the supplier payment terms or offering an early
settlement discount.
2. This note is specifically targeted at changes relating to the implementation of the extended
payment terms, and further guidance will come on early settlement discounts. The document
provides an update on the thresholds on which the 60-day payment term is applicable and
provides guidance on compliance reporting and the applicability of the Policy.
Threshold
3. The threshold on which the Policy is applied is R50 000 000.00 (Fifty Million Rand), inclusive
of VAT. This means that all contracts exceeding this threshold must be established on the

However, the Policy is applicable to contracts concluded between subsidiaries and their own
suppliers.
5. In instances of modifications to contracts, or renegotiations of existing contracts, the principles
of an extended payment term must be applied as a lever.
Monitoring of compliance
6. The Office of the CPO (“oCPO”) shall compile a compliance report to the Cost Savings Steering
Committee (“Cost Steerco”) on a monthly basis. Divisional Procurement Senior Managers shall

constitution, then such work must be conducted in terms of the OHS Act "Regulations on
Hazardous Work by Children in South Africa" with emphasis on paragraph 2: Purpose and

3.13 RISK ASSESSMENT (refer to 32-520)
It is a legal requirement in terms of Section 8 (2)(d) of the OHS Act for an employer to carry out
risk assessments, to establish which risks and hazards are attached to the health and safety of
persons due to any work which is performed, any article or substance which is, handled, stored,
transported. A risk assessment is defined as an identification of the hazards present in the activity,
work, site, and an estimate of the extent of the risks involved, considering whatever precautions
are already being taken.
It is essentially a three-stage process:
Risk assessments are required to be maintained. This means that significant changes to a process
or activity, or any new process or activity should be subjected to a risk assessment and that if new
hazards become known during the work process, then these should also be subjected to risk
assessments. Risk assessments for long-term processes should be periodically reviewed and
updated. Method statements or written safe work procedures are an effective method as
information and record of the way jobs / tasks must be performed. Daily or issue based or task
specific or on the job risk assessments must be conducted at the place where work is to be
performed/ conducted to allow managers and employees to assess any inherent risks that could
have been overlooked during the initial risk assessment or any changes that might have occurred
in a period of absence. For example if a job / task is extended over a day or halted due to inclement
weather.
Guidelines for actual steps involved in a job/task specific risk assessment are:
procedures exist for ladders.
to rectify this shall be recorded, and safe working procedures drawn up.

Transformation remains an area of focus, where Eskom continuously strives to align itself with national
transformation imperatives to unlock growth, drive industrialization, create employment and contribute

shall migrate and achieve as a non-negotiable a milestone of B-BBEE Level 3 by the end of the first
year of the contract and thereafter improve their B-BBEE status level or migrate by one level higher.
