ESKOM requires the design and installation of a carbon online cegrit sampler at lethabo power station, with the contract running for two years. The work involves engineering, supply, installation, and commissioning of the sampling system, and bidders must be registered on the csd and comply with eskom's integrity and preference-point requirements. The most consequential consideration is that the tender is submitted electronically through eskom's etendering system, and failure to submit the mandatory e-tendering training acknowledgement form will render the bid non-responsive.
Closing date: 21 October 2026 at 10:00 (SAST); submission is electronic via Eskom eTendering at https://eTendering.eskom.co.za, requiring a CSD number for access.
Mandatory returnable: E-Tendering Training Acknowledgement Form must be fully completed and submitted; failure to do so disqualifies the bid.
Mandatory returnables include the Integrity Declaration (Annexure A) and the SBD 6.1 Preference Points Claim Form; the applicable preference point system is either 80/20 or 90/10, to be determined by the lowest acceptable tender.
Bidders must submit one original and one complete hard copy of the tender; failure to provide the hard copy results in disqualification.
Tenderers must not sub-contract 100% of the scope of work; any tender based on 100% sub-contracting is ineligible.
Bidders must be registered on the CSD and comply with all relevant legislation including B-BBEE, CIDB (if applicable), and SHEQ requirements; proof of CIDB registration is mandatory at tender closing if applicable.
All communication with Eskom must be in writing, in English, and directed only to the Eskom Representative; the tender must be held valid for the validity period stated in the Tender Data.
