ESKOM seeks a contractor for four years of maintenance on camden power station cooling towers in mpumalanga. The tender uses a 90/10 or 80/20 preference point system with b-bbee status as the specific goal. The single most consequential requirement is the 100% local content threshold for designated steel and piping sectors, coupled with mandatory sdl&i commitments including 15% subcontracting to 51% black-owned emes/qses, a b-bbee improvement plan, and skills development for two tvet bursary students, all backed by a 1% contract-value penalty and 1% invoice retention for non-compliance.
Closing date: 9 October 2026 at 10:00; submission method and address not stated in this document.
No mandatory briefing or site visit indicated.
Returnable documents: Valid B-BBEE certificate (SANAS) or Sworn Affidavit (revenue ≤ R50 million) with CIPC ownership proof, certified shareholder IDs, and disability proof if applicable; JV/consortium must submit consolidated B-BBEE certificate. SBD 6.2 Declaration Form and Annex C, D, E for designated sectors. Proof of sub-contract agreement(s) or Letter of intent for 15% procurement from Black-owned EME/QSE (≥51% BO, not subsidiaries, preferably local to Msukaligwa). B-BBEE Improvement/Retention Plan due within 30 days of contract signing (contract award condition). Skills development plan with quarterly reporting. SDL&I Implementation Schedule due within 28 days of award. Quarterly SDL&I compliance reports per Data Collection Template.
Eligibility: CSD registration and SARS tax compliance (pin/TCS) are implicit standard requirements. B-BBEE certificate or Sworn Affidavit mandatory for contract award: EME (≤ R10m revenue) uses Sworn Affidavit; QSE (≤ R50m) complies with QSE scorecard or Sworn Affidavit if ≥51% Black-owned; > R50m requires valid B-BBEE certificate. Designated sectors require 100% local content: Fabricated Structural Steel, Steel Products and couplings, Joining/connecting components and Sections; PVC pipes; HDPE pipes. CIDB compulsory training not applicable (CSDG N/A), but failure to meet any mandatory CIDB CSDG percentage would render tender non-responsive.
Pricing: Response must separate local and imported components per Price Schedule; SBD 6.2 and Annex C, D, E returnable for designated sectors.
Evaluation: 90/10 or 80/20 preference points; B-BBEE status level earns up to 10 (90/10) or 20 (80/20) specific-goal points. Non-submission of B-BBEE docs scores 0 for specific goals and limits price score to 90/100. SDL&I objectives (B-BBEE plan, 100% local procurement, 15% Black-owned subcontracting, job creation/retention proposals, 2 TVET bursary students) are contractual obligations, not scored.
Financial capacity: Penalty of 1% of Contract Value for SDL&I failures. Eskom retains 1% of every invoice (excl. VAT) as security until all SDL&I obligations fulfilled. Tenderer bears full cost of skills development (tuition and stipend for 2 Bursary TVET students Grade Trade Test Matric/N3 from Msukaligwa Municipality); no Eskom contribution. Local Procurement Content target 100%; Black-owned EME/QSE procurement target 15%.
Contacts: Business Unit Camden Power Station, Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd. No named SCM/technical contacts, emails, phones, or submission address provided.
Special disqualification risks: Missing B-BBEE documentation does not disqualify but caps scoring. Failure to meet CIDB CSDG mandatory % (though N/A here) renders tender non-responsive. Unsigned or omitted returnable forms may disqualify. B-BBEE Improvement Plan is a contract award condition. Subcontracting proof (agreement or letter of intent) is returnable.

with the system. In a case users come across some difficulties in using Tender bulletin, eTendering
and OpenText systems they need to contact the buyer responsible for the published tender.

Risk is assessed from the technical specification/scope of work: High Risk affects core Eskom business processes (e.g. transformers, cables, conveyor belts); Low Risk does not affect core processes (e.g. cleaning, security, landscaping). Category 1: High Risk, High Value — only ISO 9001 certified organisations may participate; advisable for tenders involving manufacturing. Category 2: Low Risk, High Value — ISO 9001 certificate not mandatory but QMS must be implemented. Category 3: High Risk, Low Value — QMS must be established and documented. Category 4: Low Risk, Low Value — non-technical, non-network, off-the-shelf products/services. For complex transactions (installation, manufacturing, testing, commissioning) a QCP/ITP is required regardless of category. Low Purchase Orders (LPOs) approved by Cost Centre managers are exempt from quality requirements. Transactions above LPO limit but below R1 million with low complexity and low risk may be exempt; exemption requires completion of the Exempting Quality Requirements Certificate (240-144723833) by the Business Unit SQM representative, supported by the relevant manager. Evaluation uses the Supplier Quality Management: Tender Evaluation Scorecard/Report (240-168873697) and List of Tender Returnables (240-12248652).
Technical Specifications
Source: Quality Requirements.zip (unknown)This document (Supplier Quality Management Specification 240-105658000, QM 58, Revision 3) sets minimum quality requirements for all existing and potential Eskom suppliers and sub-suppliers. It applies across Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd divisions, subsidiaries, suppliers and sub-suppliers and forms part of all RFIs, RFQs, RFPs and contracts for procurement of products and services. Normative references: ISO 9001 (QMS requirements), ISO 10005 (guidelines for quality plans). Informative references include ISO 9000, ISO 10006, ISO 9004, Eskom SHEQ Policy (32-727), Eskom Procurement and Supply Chain Management Policy (32-1033) and Procedure (32-1034), PPPFA, CIDB 1004, List of Tender Returnables (240-12248652), IAEA GS-R-3.1, SANS 10845-1. Suppliers must develop, implement, maintain and continually improve a QMS conforming to ISO 9001. A valid ISO 9001 certificate from an accredited body is required unless excluded by the applicable quality category. Sub-suppliers performing design, manufacturing, maintenance, testing, storage, delivery, installation, commissioning or project management must meet the same QMS requirements. Main supplier is responsible for sub-supplier quality assurance and control, including performance management programme (QMS verification, audits/surveillances, CQP/QCP reviews, nonconformity/defect management, inspection and test plans, risk management). Contract Quality Plan (CQP) must address ISO 10005 elements plus: records management (material tests, PMI, certifications), free access for inspection, final documentation submission prior to shipment, special processes (welding: WQR, WPS, PQR; special installation/fabrication procedures; personnel qualification and certification per SETA/legal requirements), training needs identification and implementation, storage/preservation/maintenance instructions, sub-supplier quality monitoring, and detailed CQP content (QMS aspects applied, resources, communication channels, document/record list, management authority/responsibility, monitoring/measurement procedures). CQPs must be submitted before initial kick-off or pre-fabrication meeting. Quality Control Plan (QCP)/Inspection and Test Plan (ITP) must cover all stages chronologically, include hold/witness/document review/verification points, be accepted by Eskom or its inspection authority before work starts, and contain specified information (contract number, order number, work description, sequence of operations, acceptance criteria, intervention points, records). Sub-supplier QCPs/ITPs require separate plans. Mandatory pre-inspection meetings, quality kick-off meetings (14 days' notice), and resident Eskom inspectors (supplier provides workspace at no cost) are required. Eskom may appoint any AIA/inspection agency; supplier may not object. Capability and capacity assessments are performed pre-award for high-risk, critical plant, critical components, or special processes. Post-award: contract execution per accepted CQP/QCP, supplier quality performance monitoring, supplier quality audits. Standard conditions: Eskom rights of access to supplier/sub-supplier premises, rights to information, preservation requirements, quality audit conditions, nonconformity management, special process controls.
Compliance Requirements
Source: Quality Requirements.zip (unknown)CSD registration and valid SARS tax clearance (TCS/pin) are standard Eskom procurement requirements (referenced via PPPFA and Eskom Procurement Policy). ISO 9001 certification from an accredited body is mandatory for Category 1 tenders; for Categories 2–4, objective evidence of a QMS compliant with ISO 9001 is required (documented manual, policy, objectives, procedures). CIDB grading is not specified in this document. B-BBEE level is not specified; PPPFA 80/20 or 90/10 preference point systems apply based on tender value. Form A (240-68099512) must be completed and signed. All returnables per the List of Tender Returnables (240-12248652) for the assigned category must be submitted. Sub-suppliers must meet equivalent QMS requirements. Personnel performing special processes (NDT, welding, coating, heat treatment, radiography) must be suitably qualified, certified (SETA/accredited body), and registered with statutory bodies where legally required. Training certificates must meet SETA requirements (unit standard completed, accredited provider). Workplace documentation must be available in English and workforce-appropriate languages.
Section
Source: Quality Requirements.zipQuality requirements selection uses two main elements: Value and Risk. Value obtained from procurement; thresholds per PPPFA: Low Value (80/20 preference points) R30 000–R50 million; High Value (90/10 preference points) above R50 million. Complexity and duration considered per Eskom Procurement Procedure 32-1034. Risk based on technical specification/scope of work: High Risk affects core Eskom business (network: transformers, cables; non-network: conveyor belts); Low Risk does not affect core processes (cleaning, security, landscaping). Four categories: Category 1 (High Risk, High Value) — only ISO 9001 certified organisations may participate; advisable for manufacturing. Category 2 (Low Risk, High Value) — ISO 9001 certificate not mandatory but QMS must be implemented. Category 3 (High Risk, Low Value) — QMS must be established and documented. Category 4 (Low Risk, Low Value) — non-technical, non-network, off-the-shelf products/services. For complex transactions (installation, manufacturing, testing, commissioning) QCP/ITP required regardless of category. LPOs approved by Cost Centre managers exempt from quality requirements. Transactions above LPO limit but below R1 million with low complexity/risk may be exempt via Exempting Quality Requirements Certificate (240-144723833) completed by BU SQM representative and supported by manager. Tender documentation includes List of Tender Returnables (240-12248652) and Form A (240-68099512). Evaluation uses Tender Evaluation Scorecard/Report (240-168873697).
