B-BBEE level is scored from the CSD report or certificate/affidavit; if not provided at closing, the tenderer scores zero for B-BBEE points but is not disqualified. Specific goals are scored with reference to supporting documentation; failure to submit proof results in zero points for that element. Eskom will not measure a criterion twice (no double dipping). The tenderer with the highest combined price and preference points is ranked first, unless objective criteria are applied in accordance with Section 2(1)(f) of the PPPFA. Financial analysis may be conducted to assess risk; if risk is too high and no mitigating factors exist, the tenderer may not be considered for award.

The scope is the provision of building and infrastructure maintenance services at the Drakensberg Pumped Storage Scheme on an as-and-when-required basis for a period of five (5) years.

All SHEQ-related costs must be included in the tender. Contract Skills Development Goals (CSDG) and Contract Participation Goals (CPG) may apply, requiring engagement of targeted enterprises and skills development.

Eskom may cancel the tender at any time before contract conclusion and will provide written reasons on request. Eskom may accept or reject any variation, deviation, or alternative tender, and may accept the whole or part of the tender. Eskom may enter into mandated negotiations with selected tenderers. The successful tenderer must sign the Form of Agreement. Tender validity must be maintained for the period stated; if validity expires before contract conclusion, the process is deemed concluded without award. Tenderers must treat all procurement matters as confidential and use documents only for preparing the tender. Tenderers must comply with all relevant legislation and Eskom's SHEQ requirements.

Functionality requirements are applicable. Tenderers who do not meet the threshold of 70% for functionality scoring will be disqualified. The following criteria will be applicable for this transaction under functionality criteria: The table below defines the Mandatory Technical Evaluation Criteria on Tender Evaluation. Tenderers shall submit all documentation and evidence as specified below. These criteria shall be evaluated on a compliance basis (Yes/No). Failure to meet any mandatory requirement shall result in disqualification from further evaluation. Tenderers who do not meet all mandatory criteria shall not proceed to the technical (qualitative) evaluation stage. Evaluation shall be based on a weighted scoring system and a minimum threshold score of 70% must be achieved to be considered technically acceptable. The table below defines all Qualitative Technical Evaluation Criteria to be submitted by the Contractor by the tender closing date. Should the Contractor fail to submit these criteria by the tender closing date, the Contractor will score zero for each of the criterion stipulated in the table below. Prices will be evaluated as follows: 1. Inclusive of VAT; 2. Corrected for arithmetical errors; 3. Excluding contingencies in any bill of quantities or activity schedule; 4. Adjusted for any other acceptable variations, deviations, or alternative tenders submitted; and 5. Making a comparison of the Net Present Value of each adjusted tender based on the tendered programme (if provided) and prices, on the estimated effect of Price Adjustment Factors and rate of exchange fluctuations (if applicable) and on other evaluation parameters relating to uncertainty and risk, where applicable. 6. Unconditional discounts will be taken into account for evaluation purposes. 7. Conditional discounts will not be taken into account for evaluation purposes but will be implemented when payment is effected. Prices will be scored out of 80/90 points. Specific goals will be scored out of 20/10 points in accordance with the PPPFA. If a tenderer fails to submit evidence of its points claim for a Specific Goal, it will not be disqualified. However, it will be awarded 0 points for that Specific Goal. Tenderers will be ranked by applying the preferential point scoring for the 80/20 OR 90/10 system. Eskom will add the score from Pricing and Specific Goals together and rank the suppliers from the highest to the lowest. A maximum of 20/10 points may be awarded to a tenderer for the specific goal specified for the tender. The points scored for the specific goal must be added to the points scored for price and the total must be rounded off to the nearest two decimal places. Subject to section 2(1)(f) of the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act, the contract must be awarded to the tenderer scoring the highest points. NB: The following documents are required to claim preference points: Valid B-BBEE certificate issued by a SANAS accredited verification agency / sworn affidavit / CIPC affidavit, Proof of ownership / shareholding (preferably CIPC documentation) inclusive of shareholding breakdown, Certified ID copies of shareholder(s), Proof of Disability (where applicable). Tenderer failing to provide documentation for the allocation of preference points will not be disqualified, but may only score point out of 80/90 for price and scores 0 points out of 20/10 for specific goals.

How the service is priced

The contract uses main Option A: Priced contract with price list together with secondary Option X19: Task

Order.

The Price List in C2.2 is a schedule of tendered rates, lump sums and percentages used for pricing work

instructed through Task Orders and for the contract-level items expressly identified in the Price List.

No Employer quantities are stated in the Price List at tender stage. The Tenderer completes the applicable

Rate, Lump Sum or Fee fields in the Price List.

The inclusion of an item in the Price List does not constitute an instruction to carry out the work and does not

guarantee any minimum quantity, frequency, duration, number of Task Orders or value of work during the

service period.

Except for contract-level items expressly identified in the Price List, the Contractor is paid only for work

instructed through a Task Order and Provided in accordance with the Service Information and the applicable

Task Order.

Pricing of Task Orders

When a Task Order is prepared, the applicable work is priced using the tendered rates and percentages

contained in C2.2.

The priced list for a Task Order identifies, as applicable:

a. the relevant Price List item number and description;

b. the applicable unit;

c. the quantity, duration or other measurable unit applicable to the Task;

d. the applicable tendered rate; and

e. the resulting Price.

Where an applicable tendered rate exists, the Price for the item is calculated by multiplying the applicable

quantity or duration by the tendered rate.

Where an instructed item is not covered by an applicable tendered rate or Cost-Plus item, the item is priced

and assessed in accordance with Option X19 and the applicable provisions of the conditions of contract.

No work outside an issued Task Order is payable merely because a rate for that work appears in the Price

List.

This PAYE questionnaire is used by Eskom to determine whether a contractor (individual, company, close corporation or trust) should be classified as an Independent Contractor, Personal Service Provider, Labour Broker or Dependent Contractor for tax purposes. The pack applies to contractors supplying services or labour to Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd and its subsidiaries. The contractor must answer all questions truthfully; the answers determine which affidavits and declarations must be signed.

The pack applies from 1 March 2022 to 28 February 2023 and is subject to changes in tax legislation.

Group Tax email: [email protected]

Returnable documents — the completed PAYE questionnaire pack, including the signed summary sheet and all required signed affidavits/declarations, must be returned to Eskom. A copy must be emailed to [email protected].

Which pack applies:

• Evaluation Pack A for companies, close corporations or trusts.
• Evaluation Pack B for individuals.

Consequences of non-compliance:

• Failure to sign required affidavits or declarations results in PAYE being withheld from payments.
• The contractor must declare that all answers are truthful; Eskom may withhold taxes, interest and penalties if information is inaccurate.

The completed pack, including the signed summary sheet and signed affidavits, must be returned to Eskom, with a copy to Group Tax at [email protected]. The pack includes Evaluation Pack A for companies/close corporations/trusts and Evaluation Pack B for individuals, with various appendices (affidavits and declarations) to be signed depending on the contractor's classification.

The questionnaire determines the contractor's tax classification: Independent Contractor, Personal Service Provider, Labour Broker, or Dependent Contractor. This classification dictates whether PAYE is withheld from payments and the IRP5/IT3(a) code used.

For companies/CCs/trusts (Evaluation Pack A), classification as a Personal Service Provider (PSP) depends on tests including residence, number of employees, connected persons, more than 80% of income from one client, place/control/supervision, and a dominant impression test. If classified as PSP, PAYE is withheld and coded 3601 or 3616 on the IRP5.

For individuals (Evaluation Pack B), classification as a Dependent Contractor or Employee follows similar tests. If classified as such, PAYE is withheld and coded 3601 or 3616.

Non-residents must sign Appendix 9 and have the pack referred to Eskom Group Tax Department.

The Fourth Schedule to the Income Tax Act (“the Act”) requires that Employees' Tax must be

withheld from "remuneration" paid by an "Employer" to an "Employee". This tool is intended to establish

whether an Individual, Close Corporation, Company or Trust should be classified as an Independent

Contractor, Personal Service Provider, Labour Broker or a Dependent Contractor, and the tax

consequences of such classification.

This Pack is applicable ONLY to Contractors who supply Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd (“Eskom”) and its

subsidiaries with services or Individual Contractors providing Eskom with labour.

The Contractor or its duly authorised representative must declare that all questions have been answered

truthfully.

Answering the questions will direct you to your next step.

Company/Close Corporation/Trust Summary

Please si n

the following

The questionnaire determines the tax treatment of payments. Labour brokers with a valid IRP30 certificate receive payments without Employees' Tax withheld, and an IT3(a) with code 3617 is issued. Without a valid IRP30, Employees' Tax is withheld at individual tax rates until the certificate is provided, and an IRP5 with code 3617 is issued. Dependent contractors or personal service providers have PAYE withheld at prevailing tax rates, coded 3601 or 3616 on the IRP5.

PAYE implications:

• If the contractor provides a valid IRP30 certificate (labour broker), no Employees' Tax is withheld; an IT3(a) with code 3617 is issued.
• If no valid IRP30 certificate, Employees' Tax is withheld at individual tax rates until the certificate is provided; an IRP5 with code 3617 is issued.
• Dependent Contractors or Personal Service Providers have PAYE withheld at prevailing tax rates, coded 3601 or 3616 on the IRP5.

The contractor must complete the PAYE questionnaire and sign the required affidavits/declarations based on their classification. Required forms include:

• Appendix 1: Affidavit confirming employment of three or more full-time employees who are not connected persons.
• Appendix 2: Affidavit confirming no connected person will personally render services to Eskom.
• Appendix 3: Affidavit confirming services will not be performed mainly at Eskom or under Eskom's control/supervision.
• Appendix 4: Affidavit confirming not more than 80% of income is from any one client.
• Appendix 5: Affidavit confirming the individual provides a service, not people.
• Appendix 6: Declaration that the contractor is a labour broker.
• Appendix 7: Declaration that the contractor is a dependent contractor or personal service provider.
• Appendix 8: Declaration that the contractor is an independent supplier or contractor.
• Appendix 9: Declaration that the contractor is a non-resident of South Africa.
• Appendix 10: Definitions as per the Income Tax Act.

Non-residents must sign Appendix 9 and have the pack referred to Eskom Group Tax Department.

The contractor must notify Eskom of any changes to the information provided. Eskom may withhold from payments any taxes, interest and penalties that SARS may impose due to inaccurate information.

Eskom accepts no liability for any loss or damages arising from the use of this pack. The contractor is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of all information provided. The pack will not be automatically updated with changes in legislation. If used outside the 2022/2023 tax year, the contractor should consult Eskom's Corporate Tax Department.

The contractor must complete the applicable evaluation pack (A for companies/CCs/trusts, B for individuals) and sign the required appendices based on their answers. The pack is based on the 2022/2023 tax year legislation and is subject to change. If used outside this period, the contractor should consult Eskom's Corporate Tax Department.

The questionnaire's evaluation determines the contractor's tax status. For companies/CCs/trusts, a Personal Service Provider (PSP) classification results if the contractor answers 'PSP' to any of questions 6(i), 6(iii), 6(v), 6(vi), 6(ix), or more than 50% 'PSP' to questions 6(ii), 6(iv), 6(vii), 6(viii), 6(x), 6(xi). For individuals, an 'Employee' classification follows similar criteria. The classification affects PAYE withholding and IRP5 codes.

3.2 Standard Procedure for when an Employee Exercises his or her Right of Refusal to

Work in the case of an Unsafe Work Situation

Where an employee is directed, required, or instructed to perform a task in relation to equipment, a

machine, device, thing, or physical condition and he or she reasonably believes in good faith that

the:

a) equipment, machine, device, or thing; or

b) physical condition of the workplace;

c) is in contravention of any health and safety requirement, may endanger, endangers, causes an

undue hazard, or may cause an undue hazard to his or her health and safety, (collectively

referred to as an unsafe work condition) or those of his or her co-worker or any person, such an

employee has the right to refuse to perform such a task until such time as it has been corrected

and made safe.

d) The employee may refuse to return to perform such a task until the unsafe work condition(s)

has/have been mitigated, treated or eliminated.

e) An employee cannot refuse to work when high-risk work condition(s) and processes form part

of his or her normal contractual duties, where following approved safe work procedures will

ensure a safe working environment. (Example: a live line worker involved in live line work

following safe work procedures).

f) Should any employee at any time reasonably believe, in good faith, that the performance of work

or a task is unsafe, the following procedures shall apply:

Stage 1:

1. The employee will immediately notify to the supervisor about the details of the unsafe

condition or unsafe act. The supervisor shall give the situation immediate attention.

2. The employee will explain to the supervisor (or his nominated team leader) and, where

work to be performed is unsafe. The employee has the right to invite his/her union

representative.

3. The employee(s) shall remain in a safe place.

4. The supervisor shall investigate the unsafe situation together with the applicable employee

and the applicable health and safety representative responsible for that particular area.

5. The task risk assessment is to be reviewed to address the concerns of the employee and to

outline the corrective actions in order to mitigate/treat/eliminate the unsafe situation.

Alternatively, if it is found that the perceived threat is unfounded, the supervisor shall give a

clearance notice to the employee, co-signed by the applicable employee, indicating that the

identified perceived threat has been thoroughly investigated and that the situation has been

declared to be safe. (See form referenced in Paragraph 2.7.1.)

6. If emergency action is required to correct an unsafe situation that constitutes an immediate

threat to employees or any other person, only qualified and properly instructed employees or

persons will be permitted to correct such unsafe condition. Every possible effort must be

made to control the hazard while this is being done.

7. When the issue has been resolved and the appropriate corrective action has been taken, the

employee shall return to work. If the issue has not been resolved, proceed to the following

stage.

Stage 2:

The manager of that section or, if not readily available, any other person with the necessary

knowledge, skills, and experience who understands the task and associated risks must then

review the risk assessment and mitigation plans and, where necessary, make changes to further

reduce/treat/eliminate the risk. If the issue is resolved and the appropriate corrective action has

been taken, the employee shall return to work.

If the issue has not been resolved, then the work will be considered as unsafe and cannot

continue until the applicable Responsible Manager (BU/OU Manager) have introduced all steps

to ensure the work place is safe as defined in the Occupational Health and Safety Act, Eskom’s

policies, procedures and best practices.

Stage 3:

In a case, wherein, the employee is still unsatisfied or refuses to acknowledge the resolution of the

threat, the matter shall be brought to the OU/BU Manager for resolution. If the matter cannot be

resolved internally, the OU/BU Manager shall immediately notify the Provincial Inspector at the

Department of Employment and Labour.

3.3 Participation by Subject-Matter Specialist

Revision: 2

Page:

The Occupational Health and Safety Act places an obligation on employers and/or users

of machinery to evaluate all the risks attached to any condition or situation that may arise from their

activities and to which persons at work may be exposed to and to take necessary steps to make

such condition or situation safe.

Where it is not possible to do so, the employer shall, free of charge, provide and maintain, in a good

and clean condition, safety equipment and facilities and ensure that any person exposed to any such

condition or situation is rendered safe. The employer is required to instruct or train his/her employees

in the proper use, maintenance, and limitations of the safety equipment and facilities provided and

to document such training. This document was compiled to provide minimum requirements for

generic Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to be used in Eskom and its subsidiaries and how to

care for it. This in turn will ensure the protection of the health and safety of Eskom employees and

compliance with the relevant legal requirements.

2. Supporting Clauses

2.1 Scope

2.1.1 Purpose

The purpose of this document is to prescribe the minimum requirements for generic Personal

Protective Equipment used in Eskom and provide guidance with regards to the process for the

selection, use, care, and maintenance of personal protective equipment (PPE).

This standard does not cover the requirements for specialised work such as Live Work, Fall Arrest

Systems and any other specialised equipment that is not included herein. The requirements for

specialised work disciplines are covered in their respective standards and/or specifications.

In the case where a particular PPE requirement is not covered in this standard, the onus is on the

Division/OU/Cluster/ BU to ensure that all safety requirements are complied with in accordance with

the relevant standards, regulations, or codes of practices for that specific PPE requirement.

2.1.2 Applicability

This document shall apply throughout Eskom Holdings SOC Limited divisions and subsidiaries.

The Operating/Business Units or Clusters may determine additional PPE requirements to suit their

own needs or working conditions, provided that the minimum requirements as set out in this

specification are met as well as the relevant legislation. Such additional requirements should not

expose the employee to any risk. This can be determined through a comprehensive activity-related

OHS risk assessment.
