Returnable Documents: Suppliers must complete, sign, and return Form A (Tender and Contract Quality Requirements for Supplier Quality Management Specification 240-105658000/ QM 58 and ISO 9001) with other returnables as listed in the List of Tender Returnable document (240-12248652). The specific quality documentation required depends on the tender category (1, 2, 3, or 4) indicated in Form A. Categories define minimum returnable documentation, including ISO 9001 certificates, audit reports, draft contract quality plans, inspection/test plans, and documented QMS information. Refer to the List of Tender Returnables for exact requirements per tender.

Suppliers must have a QMS conforming to ISO 9001. For Categories 1 & 2, a valid ISO 9001 certificate from an accredited body is required unless specifically excluded. All suppliers (and applicable sub-suppliers) must demonstrate capability and capacity, especially for high-risk, critical, or special process work. Eligibility is contingent on the full and correct submission of all returnable documents specified for the applicable Category in the tender.

Scope: This specification outlines minimum quality requirements for all existing and potential Eskom suppliers. It applies throughout Eskom Holdings divisions, subsidiaries, suppliers, and sub-suppliers, forming part of all RFI/RFQ/RFP and procurement contracts. Purpose: Suppliers must develop, implement, maintain, and continually improve a QMS based on ISO 9001 to ensure conformity to Eskom quality requirements throughout contract duration. Key Requirements: Suppliers and sub-suppliers must have a formal QMS conforming to the latest ISO 9001 standard. Where specified, suppliers must provide documented contract quality plans (CQPs) and quality control plans (QCPs)/inspection and test plans (ITPs). Plans must address quality assurance and control elements related to the scope of work, including management of records, access for inspection, special processes (e.g., welding), personnel qualifications, and preservation programmes. Eskom reserves rights to audit, assess, and appoint inspection agencies.

Quality Control Plan (QCP) Details: QCPs/ITPs must clearly describe equipment, locations, quality verification stages, reference documents, procedures, and acceptance criteria. Preservation Programme Execution: The supplier must review and track compliance with preservation requirements, evaluate storage sites, develop preservation work plans, oversee preservation plan execution, and maintain a records management process for preservation programme documentation.

Personnel Qualifications: Quality audits and related performance reviews must be carried out by trained, accredited, and experienced personnel in accordance with procedures documented in the contract quality plan (CQP).

Core Requirement: Suppliers and sub-suppliers must develop, implement, maintain, and improve a formal QMS conforming to the latest ISO 9001 standard. Where specified, suppliers must provide documented contract quality plans (CQPs) and quality control plans (QCPs)/inspection and test plans (ITPs). Plans must address quality assurance and control elements, including management of records, access for inspection, special processes (e.g., welding, NDT), personnel qualifications, and training aligned with SETA requirements. Eskom reserves rights to audit, assess facilities, and appoint inspection agencies. Suppliers are classified into four categories (1-4) with tiered documentation requirements.

No pricing schedule, rates, bill of quantities, or payment schedules are included in the extracted quality specification text.

No specific pricing format, bonds, guarantees, payment terms, or financial capacity requirements are stated in the extracted quality specification.

References: The document lists Eskom's Safety, Health, Environment, and Quality (SHEQ) Policy (32-727) as an informative reference. No specific health and safety requirements are detailed in the extracted text.

Preservation Programme Requirements: The supplier must implement a preservation programme for materials and equipment. This includes special precautions for valves, motors, piping, instrumentation, coatings, and insulation. Requirements must be clearly documented in purchase orders and work authorisations.

Quality evaluation criteria focus on supplier QMS conformance to ISO 9001. References include ISO 9001, ISO 10005, CIDB 1004 Best Practice Guideline A4, and Eskom's SHEQ Policy.
