This document is a 'Supplier Evaluation Pack Template' used by Eskom to determine the tax status of contractors providing services or labour. It is a questionnaire based on the Income Tax Act for the 2025/2026 tax year. It is not the tender specification for the 'Design and Construct Scope – ex-GE Store Perimeter Protection Works at Kusile Power Station'. The Pack helps classify contractors as Independent Contractors, Personal Service Providers, Labour Brokers, or Dependent Contractors for PAYE withholding purposes.

This Pack applies from 1 March 2025 to 28 February 2026. No tender-specific closing date, briefing, or site visit dates are stated in this document.

For tax classification queries, contact Eskom Group Tax via email: [email protected]. Submit the completed Pack to your contractor representative in Eskom for referral to the Group Tax Department at Megawatt Park. No tender submission address or SCM contact details are provided.

Returnable Documents: This Pack (Supplier Evaluation Pack Template) must be completed and returned. It includes signed summary sheets and signed affidavits. When returning the completed Pack, copy Group Tax at [email protected].

No explicit eligibility criteria for the tender itself; this is a tax compliance questionnaire for contractors already engaged or being engaged by Eskom. However, the questionnaire assesses: South African tax residence status; employment of 3+ full-time non-connected employees; whether connected persons render services personally; whether >80% income comes from one client/associated institution; whether services are performed mainly at Eskom premises under Eskom's control/supervision; and dominant impression factors (payment terms, control over resources, exclusivity, subcontracting rights, risk, integration, benefits, provision of office/equipment).

This is a tax questionnaire document, not a technical specification for perimeter protection works. Its purpose is to establish the contractor's tax status (Independent Contractor, Personal Service Provider, Labour Broker, or Dependent Contractor) for Eskom service contracts. It contains no scope, deliverables, or standards for the Kusile Power Station perimeter protection works.

This extract details tax withholding consequences for Labour Brokers:

• With a valid IRP30 certificate: No PAYE withheld; IT3(a) certificate (code 3617) issued.
• Without a valid IRP30 certificate: PAYE withheld at individual tax rates until certificate provided; IRP5 certificate (code 3617) issued.

It does not contain a tender pricing schedule, bill of quantities, or payment schedule.

Financial requirements relate to tax withholding, not tender pricing:

• If classified as a Personal Service Provider or Dependent Contractor, PAYE will be withheld from payments at prevailing tax rates.
• If classified as a Labour Broker with a valid IRP30 certificate, no PAYE will be withheld, and an IT3(a) certificate (code 3617) will be issued.
• If classified as a Labour Broker without a valid IRP30 certificate, PAYE will be withheld until a valid certificate is provided, and an IRP5 certificate (code 3617) will be issued.
• Independent Contractors generally do not have PAYE withheld, subject to questionnaire outcomes.

Compliance is focused on tax status determination, not standard tender prerequisites:

• Contractors must complete the relevant Evaluation Pack (A for companies/CCs/trusts, B for individuals).
• Must answer questions truthfully regarding residence, employee numbers, connected persons, income sources, place of work, and control/supervision.
• Must sign required affidavits and declarations (Appendices 1-9) based on questionnaire outcomes.
• Must provide supporting documents like IRP30 certificates if applicable.
• No specific mention of CSD, B-BBEE, CIDB, CIPC, or local content requirements.

This section contains a fragment of the tax status questionnaire (Question 6(v) about risk for work quality). It is not tender evaluation criteria. The document's 'evaluation' refers to assessing tax classification, not scoring bids.

The primary eligibility gate is possession of a valid CSD number. The manual does not specify the technical or commercial eligibility criteria for this specific perimeter protection works tender; those would be contained in the separate tender specification documents which must be downloaded and complied with.
