Eskom's tender for as-and-required repair and refurbishment of medium-voltage (MV) motors under a five-year contract has been cancelled. No bids are being accepted; suppliers should monitor Eskom for any re-issued tender.
Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd issued a tender for an MV motor repair and refurbishment contract on an 'as and when required' basis for a period of five years. The original tender reference was MPUT11343GX. The supporting document in this listing is a Tender Cancellation Letter, dated 5 November 2026 and signed by Eskom's Acting Manager: Procurement, which states that Eskom has decided to cancel the tender. The letter gives reasons for the cancellation, but the text of those reasons is not fully legible in the extracted document, so the specific grounds should be confirmed directly with Eskom's Procurement & Supply Chain Management department. Enquiries were directed to Tshidi Chabeli (+27 17 749 9452, ChabelME@eskom.co.za).
The cancelled scope covered the repair, overhaul and refurbishment of medium-voltage electric motors used in Eskom's power generation and distribution operations. Work was to be ordered as and when needed rather than as a fixed-volume contract, and the contract term was five years. Typical activities in this type of contract include fault diagnosis, rewinding, mechanical and electrical overhaul, balancing, testing and commissioning, and return to service in line with Eskom's technical and safety standards. Bidders would normally have been expected to demonstrate technical capability, appropriate workshop facilities, qualified personnel, and compliance with Eskom's supplier registration, safety, health, environment and quality requirements.
The listing is marked as draft, and its stated closing date of 11 December 2026 falls after the cancellation letter, so it should not be treated as an open bid opportunity. Businesses that intended to bid should not prepare or submit a response to this listing. Instead, they should keep an eye on eTenders and Eskom's supplier communications for a re-advertised tender, and ensure their Eskom supplier registration, technical credentials and compliance documents are current so they can respond quickly if the requirement is re-issued.
No businesses should currently submit a bid, as the tender has been cancelled. Companies that would normally be suitable for this type of work once it is re-issued include electric motor repair and rewind specialists, industrial electrical engineering firms with medium-voltage capability, OEM-authorised motor service centres, and existing Eskom-registered suppliers in maintenance and refurbishment. These businesses should monitor eTenders and Eskom's procurement channels for any re-advertisement and keep their supplier registration, technical references and compliance documents up to date.
