Completion and submission of the mandatory E-Tendering Training Acknowledgement Form (Template ID: 240-9722574) is a prerequisite for bidding.

Business name/JV: _______________________________________________________

This tender covers the supply of foreign goods and services to Eskom, including the application of contract price adjustment (CPA) and payment methods for foreign currency transactions. The tenderer must be the direct importer of goods and must comply with exchange rate and payment documentation requirements.

Submit the completed tender with all required documents. The tenderer must indicate and request approval from Eskom to use Payment Method 2 prior to tender close; failure to obtain approval means the tenderer must select another payment method. For foreign goods/services, submit proof of importation and the required documents (commercial invoice, SAD 500, bill of entry, customs release notification, transport documents, and mode-specific documents such as marine/ocean bill of lading, airway bill, road/rail consignment note, postal receipt, or courier dispatch note). All documents must be unaltered and as originally issued. The exchange rate used must be the SARB rate at 12H00 on the advertisement date, with proof of the rate submitted. Returnable forms include the CPA formula (if applicable) and the payment method selection.

Tenderers must propose a contract price adjustment (CPA) formula if applicable; failure to do so results in fixed pricing. A minimum of 15% of the total agreement value must be fixed when a CPA formula is applied, and each formula must total 100%. Only official published CPA indices are acceptable. The price adjustment factor is effective from each contractual anniversary, using the average CPI Headline index for the twelve-month period ending before the anniversary. For foreign goods, the price must be quoted in ZAR if the supplier imports goods into stock for delivery to various customers, and Eskom will not undertake foreign exchange commitments. Payment methods: Method 1A/1B (foreign currency) or Method 2 (ZAR at selling spot rate). For Method 1B, the tenderer must provide a written indemnity and submit documents as listed. For Method 2, the tenderer must provide proof of importation and the contract will be in ZAR.

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.
