The eTendering system is a web-based portal that replaces physical submission of tender documents at Eskom offices. Bidders must register and receive an OTP to access it. The portal is accessible via the Tender Bulletin public website and the eTendering website; a CSD number is required. A new feature allows closed tenders, which are not publicly listed but sent directly to selected suppliers who meet the evaluation criteria; these suppliers receive a private bidding link by email.

No tender-specific dates are stated in the supplied document. The closing date is given in the tender record.

For problems with the Tender Bulletin, eTendering, or OpenText systems, contact the buyer responsible for the published tender. No other contact details are provided in the document.

Submission is electronic only via the Eskom eTendering portal at https://eTendering.eskom.co.za. Bidders must register on the portal, verify their email, and log in with an OTP sent to their cellphone and email. Select the tender reference number, then create a submission and upload documents under the correct category (technical, commercial, finance). Finalise the submission before the closing time; once finalised it cannot be changed. A confirmation email with the submission ID is sent and should be kept for enquiries. File limits: each file up to 50MB, total uploads up to 900MB. A CSD number is required to access the system. The system works with most browsers; MS Edge is recommended. For system problems, contact the buyer responsible for the tender.

No evaluation criteria are stated in the supplied document. The document is a user manual for the eTendering portal and does not describe scoring, thresholds, or preference points for this tender.
