• The form must be completed to propose price adjustment methods; otherwise, prices may be considered fixed.

• Tender prices remain fixed if the period between tender closing and contractual completion is less than one year.
• Price adjustments are based on indices from recognised authorities (e.g., SEIFSA, Statistics SA). Supplier 'in-house' indices are not acceptable.

• Percentages for fixed and adjustable portions must be specified.
• All claims for transport escalation must include evidence of the transport method used.
• Eskom reserves the right to request documentary evidence to substantiate claims.

Compliance requirements not captured in the extracted text; AI extraction recommended for full details. Bidders should verify standard ESKOM compliance requirements (CSD registration, tax clearance, B-BBEE, CIDB if applicable, etc.) from the full tender document.

Table 4: Deliverables Reports Table 4 Conduct and Provide report on all service provider Quarterly Electronic (Microsoft Office & Adobe) quality internal Audits

Service provider must have proven experience in power station maintenance quality control with ISO 9001 certified quality management system. Key personnel must meet minimum qualification/skill requirements per Table 1 (e.g., Site Manager: Quality/Technical Degree + 5 years power station QC with ISO 9001; Electrical QC: National Diploma Heavy Current + 5 years industrial with 2 years power station; Turbine QC: SAIW Level II + 10 years post-apprenticeship with 5 years power station turbine experience). Welding inspectors require SAIW Level II plus IIW IWI-C or IWI-S. Safety Officer requires relevant degree/diploma with 2-3 years experience. All staff must pass Eskom medical fitness assessments and obtain site authorizations (PSR, ORHVS, confined space, working at heights) within 6 months.

Kusile Power Station Management has decided to partner with a suitable and qualified service

provider for the Provision of Maintenance Quality Control Services at Kusile Power Station. The

strategy to outsource these services is driven by the urgent need to ensure that maintenance tasks,

whether performed when units are online or offline, meet the highest quality standards. This will be

achieved through the Co-ordination and Control of Quality Control Activities (Assurance/ Inspection)

and the Performance of Physical Inspections in Maintenance and Outage Services.
