Companies with experience in Eskom or similar utility supply chains, and those able to provide documented method statements, quality plans, and capacity evidence, are best placed to respond. Smaller suppliers may consider partnering with qualified manufacturers as sub-suppliers, since the tender requires a sub-supplier capability assessment.
