ESKOM is seeking an office or industrial building for acquisition (buying) in the kanyamazane area of the mpumalanga operating unit. The single most consequential requirement is that bidders must complete and submit the mandatory e-tendering training acknowledgement form within the prescribed period, as failure to do so will render the bidder non-responsive and disqualified.
Bidders must submit the fully completed E-Tendering Training Acknowledgement Form (Template ID: 240-9722574 Rev 1) within the prescribed period; non-submission results in disqualification.
The E-Tendering Training Acknowledgement Form is a mandatory returnable document and must be completed in full.
The acknowledgement confirms the bidder has undergone self-training via the e-Tendering Noddy Guide, video, or a clarification meeting, and is able to operate the E-Tendering Solution.
Submission is via the Eskom E-Tendering system.
Bidders must be able to operate the E-Tendering Solution after self-training; failure to submit the acknowledgement form renders the tenderer non-responsive.
