ESKOM seeks to purchase (not lease) an existing industrial building in the figtree area of mpumalanga to serve its mpumalanga operating unit. Interested bidders must be able to operate eskom's e-tendering system, since the mandatory returnable training acknowledgement form (template ID 240-9722574 rev 1) must be submitted within the prescribed period; failing to do so disqualifies the tender.

The E-Tendering Training Acknowledgement Form (Template ID 240-9722574 Rev 1) is a mandatory returnable and must be fully completed and submitted to Eskom within the prescribed period.
Failure to return the Training Acknowledgement Form in time renders the tenderer non-responsive and the bid will be disqualified.
The training acknowledgement must be signed by the authorised signatory, with designation and date completed.
The property sought is an industrial building for acquisition (buying, not leasing) in the Figtree area of the Mpumalanga Operating Unit.
