Eskom requires a supplier for the once-off supply and delivery of fall arrest systems under an NEC3 Supply Contract, with delivery due 6 weeks after award. Bidders need a quality management system aligned to ISO 9001, SHE compliance and at least 80% on functionality. Closes 27 November 2026.
Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd has issued tender E2426TSSERI for the once-off procurement, supply and delivery of fall arrest systems. The requirement covers personal fall protection equipment for Eskom's work environments, supplied as a single, fixed-scope order under an NEC3 Supply Contract (SC3). The tender is an open invitation, and the supply is to be delivered to the Eskom delivery place in Johannesburg (Rosherville), with delivery due six weeks after contract award. Defects liability runs for 52 weeks from delivery, with a one-week defect correction period. Supporting tender documents include a Bill of Quantities for safety harnesses, a technical evaluation sheet for the fall arrest system, and a Supplier Quality Management specification (240-105658000) that applies Category 4 main supplier capability assessment, post-award quality performance monitoring and Eskom rights of access and audit.
Bidders must meet basic compliance and mandatory requirements, including CSD registration, which must be in place before award. Tenders are evaluated on functionality (minimum 80% threshold, with non-compliant bidders disqualified), price (80 points under the 80/20 preference system) and specific goals (20 points under PPPFA). Required returnables include the completed Authorisation Form, Integrity Declaration Form, Eskom SHE acknowledgement (Annexure B), SBD 1, SBD 4, SBD 6.1, a tax compliance status PIN or certificate, COIDA good-standing certificate, latest audited annual financial statements, and a draft Method Statement and Quality Control Plan or Inspection and Test Plan. Evidence of a QMS is required, either a valid ISO 9001 certificate from an accredited body or documented objective evidence of a compliant, uncertified QMS. Contractor health and safety requirements (32-136) and environmental evaluation criteria also apply. Local content (SBD 6.2) and Contract Price Adjustment forms are listed, but CPA is not applicable to a contract of 12 months or less, so prices should be fixed.
The tender offers a stable public-sector buyer, a defined scope and a clear payment term of 30 days after submission of a valid tax invoice. A non-compulsory clarification meeting is scheduled for 12 November 2026 at 09:30 via MS Teams, and queries must be directed in writing to the Eskom Representative. Bidders should note that the tender summary lists both a 120-day and a 16-week validity period, and that the contract template contains legacy references to other Eskom projects, so the Eskom Representative should confirm these points before submitting a bid. Late submissions will not be accepted, and tenders must be uploaded as PDFs (with price schedules also in Excel) via the Eskom Tender Bulletin by 10:00 on 27 November 2026.
Manufacturers, importers and authorised distributors of fall arrest systems and height safety PPE that can supply and deliver within six weeks of award. Suitable bidders will hold or be able to demonstrate ISO 9001 or an equivalent documented QMS, be registered on the National Treasury CSD, hold a valid COIDA certificate, and meet Eskom SHE requirements. Small, medium and black-owned enterprises may benefit from the 20-point specific goals allocation. Bidders using subcontractors or joint ventures must meet the disclosure rules, including joint and several liability for JVs. Foreign suppliers must comply with the import payment and tax requirements in the tender documents.
