Long Distance Transport Services

This Eskom notice publishes the names of bidders that responded to competitive enquiry E3591GXMPKEN1 for long distance transport from Kriel to Kendal power station over a 60-month (5-year) period. It is a bidder disclosure document issued under the Eskom Infrastructure Policy for Procurement and Delivery Management (clause 6.2.5.1), not a new call for bids. The document does not specify the cargo, but the Kriel-to-Kendal route in Mpumalanga suggests the work is bulk haulage to a coal-fired power station. The scope is therefore likely to be heavy-vehicle freight transport, though this should be confirmed against the full bid specifications.

Eight bidders are named: Adams Transport; k2015429312 (Pty) Ltd; MK Engineering Construction & Suppliers; Motlokwa Projects; Phenomenal Kriel Taxi Owners; T & Z Construction; TGT General Trading; and TJ General Trading. Several of these are small or community-based entities, and at least one is linked to the local taxi industry, which suggests the procurement drew local and emerging-enterprise interest. The notice does not disclose evaluation results, pricing, or the award status.

The dates in the record are inconsistent. The metadata gives a published date of 6 November 2026 and a closing date of 13 November 2026. The enquiry document itself states a closing date of 22 October 2026 at 10:00. Because the document is marked as a draft and the bidders are already published, the enquiry should be treated as closed. Anyone checking this notice should verify the dates and current status on the eTenders portal or with Eskom Supply Chain before taking any action.
