Tenderers will be evaluated in stages. First, mandatory returnables are checked for completeness and compliance at closing. Non-submission or incomplete mandatory documents may lead to disqualification, but Eskom may request missing returnables within 5 working days if not submitted at closing. After that, functionality/technical criteria are assessed. The extracted text indicates a scoring method for project references: if all three requirements (project scope, completion date, client contact details) are provided, the score is higher; if only two are provided, score = 4; if only one is provided, score = 2. The exact weightings and pass marks are not fully extracted. Contractual requirements (e.g., CSD registration) are assessed after evaluation and ranking, and proof must be submitted prior to award. Failure to meet contractual requirements may result in disqualification. Additional evaluation criteria may include B-BBEE status and other prescribed requirements.

1.1

Eskom Research, Testing and Development (RT&D) owns and operates a Corona Cage test facility

located in Sunninghill, near the Megawatt Park Head Office. The facility is one of approximately four

such installations worldwide and is unique in that it is situated at a relatively high altitude of

approximately 1550 m above mean sea level. The facility was constructed in 1981 to support the

technical development and validation work required for South Africa’s first 765 kV AC transmission

lines (Alpha–Beta project).

The main design parameters that are investigated at the Corona Cage facility are corona power loss

(CPL), radio interference voltage (RIV) and corona generated audible noise (AN). At the time of

construction several technical issues related to corona performance at high altitude was not fully

understood, hence the need to conduct actual full-scale testing.

The facility steps up 11 kV AC incoming supply to a maximum of 800 kV AC using two special design

corona testing transformers, with a voltage regulation facility provided by a variac system. The

electrical protection of the primary plant is currently provided by an old protection scheme housed in

a single panel which is located indoor within the facility.

This document provides the functional and performance requirements for the design/engineering,

supply, installation, testing, commissioning, and handover of a new dedicated protection system for

this single-phase high-voltage (max 800kV) corona cage testing facility.

2. Supporting Clauses

1.2 Purpose

The integrity pact is a pact between Eskom and its suppliers that prescribes the “ethical behaviour”. Ethical

behaviour is desirable/acceptable conduct (actions and decisions) that will bring about good/appropriate

consequences/outcomes in the interaction with others. Ethical behaviour incorporates ethical values and

considers not only what is good for oneself, but also what is good for others. Eskom considers such behaviour

of paramount importance and expects every existing/potential supplier and its own employees/directors to

always act ethically and with integrity.

Eskom commits to ensuring that it implements a procurement policy/procedure that aligns to all applicable

South African laws and regulations, as well as the constitutional principles of fairness, transparency, equity,

cost effectiveness and competitiveness.

This document supplements all other relevant Commercial and Ethics related policies/codes/procedures.

1.3 Preamble

In order to achieve this purpose, all Eskom suppliers are required to read this Integrity Pact and to complete,

sign and submit the Integrity Declaration Form whenever they participate in any Eskom procurement process.

Eskom and its suppliers commit to honouring their respective obligations herein, and agree to refrain from

any form of dishonesty, fraud, and/or corruption throughout the entire procurement process, including

tendering practices that are in bad faith, unfair and anti-competitive (e.g., under-pricing/collusion/bid rigging)

4. Supplier’s Obligations

4.1 Eskom’s suppliers accept that they will at all times:

4.1.1 Maintain an impeachable standard of integrity in all their business and personal dealings and take all

reasonable measures necessary to prevent all dishonest, unfair, fraudulent, corrupt, and illegal

practices during any stage of the Eskom procurement process including the execution of contracts

and contract modifications.

4.1.2 Ensure that they are familiar with all publicly available Eskom policies/ procedures/codes that impact

the supply chain processes including, but not limited to Eskom’s Standard Conditions of Tender.

4.1.3 Reject all improper business practices (as may be prohibited by Eskom).

4.1.4 Not abuse the trust placed in them by Eskom employees, or misuse opportunities arising during their

interaction with Eskom for personal gain.

4.1.5 Seek to constantly maintain and enhance their standards of professional competence.

4.1.6 Adopt, where possible, policies and practices which align with those of Eskom (labour practices,

employment equity initiatives and human relations policies) to the highest ethical standards.

4.2 Eskom’s suppliers confirm specifically that:

4.2.1 All confidential information, to which they may have access in the course of their work, must not be

disclosed without the express consent from the authorised Eskom representative. The supplier is

required to complete a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to give effect to this.

4.2.2 They will not deliberately misrepresent information, submit false certifications or forged documents to

influence the tendering process to advantage themselves or to mislead Eskom in any way and that

Eskom has the right to request an audit of such information, and take further action against the supplier

should it be found that it has acted in a dishonest or fraudulent manner.

4.2.3 Although the establishment of long term and close relations between Eskom and its suppliers is

recognised, Suppliers are nevertheless, required to avoid relationships with Eskom

employees//directors, that may be perceived to be contrary to the constitutional principles of fairness,

equitability, transparency, competitiveness, and cost effectiveness. Suppliers are therefore required

to complete the Integrity declaration form wherein they are required to disclose any interest that they

may have with an Eskom employee/director, whether financial, personal, or private, in its business,

and/or any affiliation /relationship which affects, or may affect, or may be perceived to affect, the

decision-making during tender award. Should a supplier later become aware that its

owners/members/directors/partners/shareholders are an Eskom employee/director with respect to a

tender in which it participated, the supplier is required to disclose the interest/relationship to Eskom

and submit whatever information may be required regarding the parties involved.

4.2.4 Although the entertainment of customers and provisions of business courtesies or gifts are generally

an accepted commercial practice, they must not in any way negatively affect Eskom’s image and

reputation. They should not exceed the R1500,00 value prescribed by Eskom and should not be of

such a nature (value or circumstances) as to be construed as placing an Eskom employee/director

4.2.5 They will avoid entering into unethical and/or fraudulent dealings with any Eskom employee/director

involved in the evaluation/adjudication/negotiation of a transaction in which it participates, involving

direct/indirect monetary or material benefits in order to be unfairly benefitted. In such circumstances,

no business courtesy, bribe, gift, fees commission or inducement may be offered to, or requested by

an Eskom employee/director involved in the evaluation/adjudication/negotiation of a transaction in

which the supplier is participating.

4.2.6 They will not enter any dishonest and/or illegal agreement or an understanding with other tenderers

involved in a tender/RFP process in which it participates. They will complete the integrity Declaration

Form which incorporates a Declaration of Fair Tendering Practices, when participating in any Eskom

tender/Request for Quotation (RFQ).

4.2.7 They understand that they may be subject to a supplier discipline process and that sanctions that

may be imposed on suppliers should they be found guilty of misconduct.

4.2.8 Should a supplier become aware of any dishonest, fraudulent or inappropriate behaviour of any Eskom

employee/director; the said supplier is required to report this behaviour to the Eskom Ethics office via

email at [email protected], or via the Eskom Forensic email at [email protected] or through

the Eskom toll free hotline 0800 11 27 22, wherein confidentiality is guaranteed.

5. Eskom’s Obligations

5.1 Eskom undertakes to treat all tenderers during the tender process according to the constitutional

principles of fairness, transparency, equity, cost-effectiveness, and competitiveness.

Description / Tender (%) (%)

eTendering system is a web-based system that allows suppliers bidding for various tenders advertised

on Tender Bulletin system to “upload” their tender documents. Currently the tenderers or suppliers

submit tender documents at various Eskom tender offices. eTendering system replaces the manual or

physical submission of tender documents at various Eskom tender offices. eTendering system in a

nutshell is an electronic box where tender documents can be “dropped” or “uploaded”. Suppliers will

be required to register their details before they can be granted access to the eTendering system. An

OTP (one time pin) will be sent to both their cell phone and email address.

Quick and direct access is also available by using the following links:

• TenderBulletin Public website: https://tenderbulletin.eskom.co.za - this is used by members

of the public, to view and access Eskom published tenders. eTendering hyperlink will be found

on this site. Members of the public may follow prompt instructions once they have clicked on

the eTendering link (https://eTendering.eskom.co.za). This link will allow them to upload the

required tender documentation.

• eTendering website Public website: https://eTendering.eskom.co.za - this is used by

members of the public, to view information about published tenders and submit their tender

documents.

• N.B: Members of the public would need to have a CSD number to gain access to

eTendering system.

2 Problems

A channel of communication has been created in case users of the system experiences a problem

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.

3 What’s New

A new functionality to “add closed tenders”. Closed tenders refers to the tenders which are not listed

on Tenderbulletin as normal tenders, but are tenders sent directly to the relevant and potential

suppliers who meet the selection and evaluation criteria to offer what the buyer needs. These

suppliers will be sent a link via email to bid privately.

Overview of the Existing Corona Cage Facility The electrical overview of the existing Eskom Research Corona Cage Test Facility is provided in 0.18/13135. The diagram provides the layout of both the primary plant (i.e. test transformers and auxiliary transformers) and as well as the existing protection system design. 3.1 Existing Primary Plant The test facility receives 3 phase 11 kV power supply via an incoming cable from Eskom Megawatt Park substation. The supply then passes through a 3-phase air insulated isolator and circuit breaker, after which only two of the phases (Blue and Red) are taken out and used for testing purpose. From the circuit breaker, a current limiting reactor is installed on the red phase before the two phases enter the voltage regulator which serves the purpose of test voltage control/regulation. The regulated supply then flows through two compensating reactors to compensate the capacitive cage load, before the first test transformer which steps up the incoming voltage to the required test voltage up to 400kV. The second test transformer which is insulated at 400kV above earth is used to raise the secondary voltage of the first test transformer further up to a maximum of 800kV. The interface to secondary plant is facilitated by the current and voltage transformers installed at various sections of the main power circuit as shown in 0.18/13135. 3.2 Existing Protection System The existing electrical protection system for the facility is housed in a single relay panel (RP) and provides for the protection of equipment, control of test supply to the facility and monitoring of the facility. The relay panel is located inside a room within the facility. The relay panel exchanges various analogue (current and voltage) and digital (trip, alarms and indication) signal with the primary plant through low voltage cabling which runs in covered trenches and enters the panel via bottom entry. Below is the list of main functions implemented in the protection and control panel

Overcurrent (50&51) – from CT1 located after the circuit breaker

Undervoltage (27) – from VT1 located after the current limiting reactor

Overcurrent (50) – from CT2 located after the voltage regulator

Transformer differential (87T) – from CT3 located after compensating reactor 2 and CT4 located on the neutral side of the test transformer 1

Overvoltage 1 and 2 (59) – from VT2 located before test transformer 1

Automatic Voltage Regulation– from VT2 located before test transformer 1

Voltage Display (voltmeter) – from VT1 located after the current limiting reactor

Test Voltage Control (Raise and Lower)

Current Display (ammeter) – from CT2 located after the voltage regulator

Voltage Display (digital voltmeter) – from capacitive voltage transformer located on the secondary side of test transformer 1 CONTROLLED DISCLOSURE When downloaded from the document management system, this document is uncontrolled and the responsibility rests with the user to ensure it is in line with the authorized version on the system.
