No double-counting of criteria. Objective Criteria (if used) must be explicitly stated in the Invitation to Tender. Reverse e-auction may be used for competitive pricing, requiring price-free tenders.

Clarification that requires a breakdown of tendered rates or prices may not result in changes to prices or the substance of the submitted tender, except as required by the Eskom Representative to confirm the correction of arithmetical errors discovered during evaluation. The total of the Prices as corrected by Eskom with the concurrence of the tenderer shall be binding upon the tenderer.

Include all duties, taxes (including VAT), and levies in rates and prices, based on rates applicable 14 days prior to the closing date.
