The pricing assumptions state that the Supply Contract is a priced contract where prices are derived from a list of items priced as lump sums or quantities multiplied by rates. The Price Schedule is only a pricing document, not Goods Information. The total of the Prices is assumed to be fully inclusive of everything necessary to Provide the Goods and Services. The tendering supplier should read the SC3 Guidance Notes, include prices for correction of defects, spread costs of unlisted items, and understand that there is no adjustment to lump sum prices if quantities change. The format of the price schedule is described.

The price schedule lists items with material numbers, descriptions, units, and rates. Items include various fuses with specifications such as current, potential, connection type, dimensions, type, case material, and part numbers.

Tenderers must comply with eligibility criteria stated in the Tender Data, must not be under restriction to do business with Eskom or State-Owned Companies, and must not sub-contract 100% of the scope of work. Tenders based on 100% sub-contracting will be deemed ineligible and disqualified.

Eskom will determine basic compliance before detailed evaluation; failure renders the tender non-responsive. Mandatory tender returnables must be present or the tender is disqualified. Pre-qualification criteria, if stipulated, must be complied with; no double dipping. Functionality criteria, if applicable, will be scored and must meet minimum threshold. Financial analysis may be conducted to determine risk; if risk is too high or mitigating factors insufficient, the tenderer will not be considered. Price will be evaluated per Tender Data, considering CPA, FOREX, commodity exposure, discounts, technical adjustment, PV, and forecasted rates. Arithmetical errors will be checked and corrected per specified rules; if tenderer does not accept corrections, tender is rejected. B-BBEE level will be scored as per CSD report or certificate/affidavit; if pre-qualification, proof must be provided at closing or tender disqualified; for PPPFA points, if no proof or fraudulent/expired, tenderer scores zero but is not disqualified. Specific Goals will be scored with supporting documentation; failure results in zero points but not disqualification. Ranking will be by adding Price and Specific Goals scores per PPPFA. Objective criteria may be used only per Section 2(1)(f) of PPPFA, and functionality and B-BBEE elements cannot be used. Reverse e-auction may be used, indicated in the Invitation to Tender; tenderers must submit a complete tender without prices.
