ESKOM HOLDINGS SOC Ltd CONTRACT NUMBER _____________

Project or contract title

Annexure A: Notes to Consultants

This is guidance to Suppliers/Consultants to assist their decision making about what cover to arrange in the

insurance to be provided by the Consultant. The guidance is not part of the contract, and the Employer

carries no liability for it.

1. For the purpose of works contracts, insurance provided by Eskom (the Employer) has been arranged on

the basis of “project” or “contract” value, where the value is the total of the Prices at Completion of the

whole of the works including VAT.

A “project” is a collection of contracts or work packages to be undertaken as part of a single identified

capital expansion or refurbishment of a particular asset or facility.

A “contract” is a single contract not linked to or being part of a “project”.

2. There are three main “formats” of cover and deductible structure: Format A, Format B and Format Dx.

Format A is for a project or contract value less than or equal to R350M (three hundred and fifty million Rand)

inclusive of VAT.

Format B is for a project or contract value greater than R350M. (three hundred and fifty million Rand) inclusive

of VAT.

In the case of contracts / packages within a project:

• For a contract / package of R50M which is part of a R400M project, Format B will apply
• For a contract / package of R250M which is part of a R6 billion project, Format B will apply
• For a contract / package of R120M which is part of a R350M project Format A will apply

For a contract which is not part of a project the same limits apply:

• For a contract of R350M, Format A will apply
• For a contract of R355M, Format B will apply.

.

Format A generally applies to Transmission Division projects and contracts. If a Transmission

Division project or contract exceeds the Format A limit, the Eskom Insurance Management Services

[EIMS] need to be contacted for advice on how to formulate the insurance cover.

3. Further information and full details of all Eskom provided policies and procedures may be

obtained from:

http://www.eskom.co.za/

4. The Insurance which the Consultant is to provide against his liability for claims made against him arising

out of his failure to use reasonable skill and care (first row in the Insurance Table of clause 81.1 in the

PSC3) should also indemnify the Consultant for those sums which he could become legally liable to pay

as damages arising from any claim first made against him and reported to Insurers some time after

Completion of the whole of the services. Hence the Consultant needs to ensure that his cover is in

place at least until all his liabilities under the contract have expired. Such claims could arise out of any

negligent act, error or omission committed or alleged to have been committed by the Consultant in the

conduct of professional services in connection with the contract.
