Bidders must comply with Eskom's Life-Saving Rules, and their employees and subcontractors must do the same.

The contractor must have the capacity to provide transport services for the full 36-month contract period and must adhere to all applicable safety and legal requirements.

Eskom's Life-Saving Rules apply to all contractors and their employees. The five rules are:

• Rule 2: Hook up at heights. Work at height is high-risk; work should be done at ground level where reasonably practicable. If elevated work is necessary, the worker must be medically fit, trained, secured during ascent and descent, and use an Eskom-approved fall arrest system.
• Rule 3: Buckle up. Seatbelts are mandatory for all drivers, operators, and passengers in all vehicles when travelling for Eskom business, on any road or parking lot, regardless of speed or direction.
• Rule 4: Be sober. No person under the influence of intoxicating liquor or drugs may enter or remain on an Eskom site, conduct Eskom business, or drive/operate a vehicle for Eskom business. This includes any level of alcohol or presence of drugs that could impair functioning.
• Rule 5: Ensure that you have a permit to work. No person shall work without the required Permit to Work where an authorisation limitation exists, such as under Plant Safety Regulations or Operating Regulations for High Voltage Systems.

Violations of any Life-Saving Rule are treated as serious misconduct and result in disciplinary action. Eskom has zero tolerance for violations. If a contractor manager or supervisor allows a violation, Eskom may suspend the contractor's activities. A contractor employee who violates a rule must be removed from site immediately, and the contractor must investigate and initiate disciplinary action within five working days, furnishing Eskom with a copy of the sanction.

• Price — evaluated per the Tender Data; amounts in words prevail over figures when they conflict.
• B-BBEE — points scored from the CSD report or certificate/affidavit. If no valid B-BBEE documentation is provided, the tenderer is not disqualified but scores zero under PPPFA points.
• Specific Goals — scored from supporting documentation; failure to meet or prove them scores zero within the 90/10 or 80/20 allocation but does not disqualify an otherwise acceptable tender.
• Ranking — price score and Specific Goals score are added, and suppliers ranked highest to lowest under PPPFA.

• Where other currencies are permitted, submit prices in Rands using the stated exchange rate and base date.

Correction of arithmetical errors:

• Amount in words prevails over figures if they differ.
• Errors may be corrected by Eskom with the tenderer's concurrence; if the tenderer refuses correction, the tender may be rejected.

Security and insurance:

• If performance security is required, the tenderer must name at least two financial institutions it may approach; Eskom may reject an unsuitable institution.
• Eskom's insurance (if any) may not cover the full required amount; tenderers should obtain qualified insurance advice.
