Car Wash Services – Vehicles & Construction Equipment

This Eskom enquiry (reference E3448GXMPDUV) sought a contractor to provide car wash services for vehicles and construction equipment at the Duvha Power Station, including the associated valley area, for a period of 60 months. The document is a Publication of Names of Bidders in respect of an advertised competitive bid. Under Eskom's Procurement and Supply Chain Management Procedure (32-1034, paragraph 8.8.6), the list of tenderers must be published on the National Treasury e-Tender Portal and the Eskom Tender Bulletin within ten working days of the closing date. The notice lists 121 registered bidders, ranging from newly formed companies to established trading and projects firms. The enquiry's stated closing date in the document is 14 October 2026 at 10:00, while the eTenders listing shows 18 December 2026. Interested parties should confirm the correct closing date with Eskom before relying on either date.

The contract covers routine washing of Duvha's operational fleet and construction plant, which requires consistent scheduling, appropriate cleaning materials, water and waste management that complies with environmental regulations, and safe working practices within an active power station site. Eskom's standard requirements for contractors at its facilities typically include safety compliance, site induction, insurance, and proof of registration on Eskom's supplier database. Bidders would have been evaluated against the published enquiry criteria, which the notice itself does not reproduce.

For the 121 listed bidders, this notice confirms participation in the process but not the outcome, as award results are not included in this document. For the wider market, the notice shows the level of competition for a mid-sized, long-term industrial cleaning contract and indicates that Eskom procures these services through open competitive bidding. Companies in vehicle cleaning, mobile car wash, or industrial fleet maintenance may find the requirements useful when preparing for similar future opportunities at Eskom or other state-owned entities.
