Eskom Rotek Industries has extended the validity of its tender for the supply and delivery of capacitive graded bushings over a 3-year period. Existing bidders must confirm by 29 January 2027 whether their prices will remain unchanged. Relevant to electrical equipment suppliers.
This eTenders notice is a letter from Eskom's Procurement and Supply Chain Management department, issued on 14 October 2026, extending the validity period of tender E1526TSSERI. The original tender covers the supply and delivery of capacitive graded bushings for a period of three years. The work falls under Eskom Rotek Industries, Transformer and Switchgear Services. The original tender validity was due to expire on 10 November 2026. Eskom extended it to 29 January 2027 because internal evaluations and feedback adjudication took longer than planned. The notice is addressed to bidders who already submitted a response to the enquiry. It is not a new call for bids.
The key requirement for bidders is a written response confirming whether the prices submitted in their original bid will remain the same through the extended validity period. Bidders who wish to keep their offers in consideration should respond to the enquiry contact, Sindy Makhaza, at MakhazS@eskom.co.za or 011 621 3084. Capacitive graded bushings are high-voltage components used in power transformers, circuit breakers and other switchgear. Eskom's Transformer and Switchgear Services unit relies on them for maintenance and replacement across its power stations and substations. Suppliers should therefore be able to meet Eskom's technical specifications, quality standards and delivery schedules for the full three-year contract period.
For established suppliers, the main benefit of this notice is the continued opportunity to be considered for a multi-year supply contract with a major state-owned utility. Price confirmation is a formal requirement, so bidders should review their pricing against current material and currency costs before responding. The notice shows a discrepancy between the tender reference in the document header (E2126TSSERI ext) and the reference in the letter body (E1526TSSERI). Bidders should confirm the correct reference with Eskom before responding. The eTenders listing shows a closing date of 27 January 2027, which falls before the extended validity date of 29 January 2027. Bidders should verify the actual submission deadline directly with Eskom.
This notice is mainly relevant to manufacturers and authorised distributors of high-voltage capacitive graded bushings that already submitted a response to enquiry E1526TSSERI. Those bidders should review the letter and confirm their pricing with Eskom before the deadline. Businesses that did not respond to the original enquiry cannot join through this extension and should check eTenders for any new or open bid opportunities. Suppliers of related transformer and switchgear components may find the scope useful for identifying future Eskom Rotek Industries opportunities.
