CDMP Data Management Training (12 Months)

Eskom, South Africa's state-owned electricity utility, has issued tender E3728CXMWPEAL for the provision of Certified Data Management Professional (CDMP) training over a period of twelve (12) months. The CDMP is an internationally recognised credential administered by DAMA International that certifies competence across the disciplines of data management, including data governance, data architecture, data modelling, data quality, metadata management and data security. The requirement is aimed at building internal data management capability within the organisation, supporting Eskom's broader efforts to improve data governance, reporting integrity and informed decision-making across its operations.

The tender documentation is structured into several components. An Annexure K Technical Evaluation Criteria document sets out how bidders will be assessed on technical merit, including the proposed training curriculum, the qualifications and experience of trainers, and the ability to align course content with the CDMP examination framework. Separate folders cover Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) requirements, which bidders must address in line with Eskom's safety standards for contractors and service providers, and Quality requirements relating to quality management systems, reporting and delivery standards. A Commercial folder contains pricing schedules, commercial terms and conditions, and submission requirements. Bidders should review all documents carefully, as non-compliance with mandatory criteria is likely to result in disqualification. Note that the supporting documents were not machine-readable at the time of analysis, so the details above are inferred from document titles and metadata and should be verified against the source files.

Successful delivery of this contract will benefit both the appointed provider and Eskom. For the provider, it offers a multi-month engagement with a major state-owned enterprise and an opportunity to demonstrate specialist data management training capability. For Eskom, it provides structured, accredited upskilling for staff in a field that is increasingly critical to asset management, regulatory compliance and digital transformation. Interested bidders should register on the eTenders portal, download all supporting documents, confirm compliance with the technical evaluation criteria and OHS requirements, and submit their proposals before the closing date of 23 November 2026.
