Sedibeng and Fezile Dabi District Municipalities.
Transformation remains an area of focus, where Eskom continuously strives to align itself with national
transformation imperatives to unlock growth, drive industrialization, create employment and contribute to
skills development. Eskom encourages its suppliers to constantly strive to improve their B-BBEE rating.
Whereas Tenderer/s will be allocated points in terms of a preference point system based on specific goals,
Eskom also requests that tenderer/s submits their B-BBEE improvement or retention plan within 30 days
of signing the contract.
Tenderer/s are therefore requested to indicate the extent to which they will maintain (only if the respondent
is a Level 1) or may improve/maintain their B-BBEE status over the contract period if their B-BBEE status
is level 2 or 3. Tenderer/s with a B-BBEE status level 4 at the time of contract award, shall migrate and
achieve as a non-negotiable a milestone of B-BBEE Level 3 by the end of the first year of the contract
and thereafter improve their B-BBEE status level or migrate by one level higher.
Tenderer/s with a B-BBEE recognition status of Level 5 to Level 8 or non-compliant at the time of contract
award, shall migrate and achieve as a non-negotiable a milestone of Level 4 by the end of the first year
of the contract and thereafter improve at least one B-BBEE Level higher of each year from the second
year of the contract. Tenderer/s are requested to submit their B-BBEE Improvement Plan as an essential
document within 30 days of signing the contract.
NB: A valid B-BBEE certificate or Sworn Affidavit is a condition for contract award, if your company’s
annual Total Revenue is R10 Million or less you qualify as an Exempted Micro Enterprise therefore you
can submit Sworn Affidavit. If your annual Total Revenue is R50 Million or less, you qualify as Qualifying
Small Enterprise and must comply with all of the elements of QSE score card relevant to your sector
