Upgrade of the electricity supply to a hospital in Tarkastad, Eastern Cape, including supply and installation of 200 kVA, 315 kVA and 500 kVA three-phase LPU kiosk metering units built to Eskom standards. Suited to registered electrical contractors and suppliers with MV substation experience.
The Eastern Cape Department of Health has published a tender for the upgrading of the electricity supply to the Martjie Venter/Tarkastad Hospital in Tarkastad. The project centres on improving the hospital's power supply infrastructure, which is critical for continuous operation of clinical, diagnostic and life-support services. The attached technical documentation, including Eskom-standard drawings and a specification sheet, indicates that the works involve medium-voltage kiosk metering units and associated overhead line and stay assembly work.
The specification sheet describes three-phase Large Power User (LPU) kiosk metering units rated at 200 kVA, 315 kVA and 500 kVA. Each unit is to be pole or ground mounted, fitted with powder-coated 3CR12 enclosures in light navy grey, and built to SANS 1091 and Eskom standard 240. Included equipment comprises moulded case circuit breakers (300 A, 450 A and 800 A respectively), busbars, insulators, current transformers, fuse holders and fuses, test blocks, 230 V surge arresters, wiring and terminals. Components must bear indelible manufacturer trademarks and part numbers, and vendors must confirm they work to the correct drawing revision. Supporting drawings reference Eskom MV three-phase take-off arrangements with 2500 mm wood crossarms, stay assemblies, insulator and conductor attachments, and bonding and earthing details. Drawing revision histories show the designs were updated over several years, so bidders should verify current revisions before pricing.
Bidders should expect to supply compliant equipment, deliver and install it under Eskom-approved practice, and coordinate with the hospital and the local distributor during construction to limit disruption to hospital operations. Demonstrated experience in MV/LV reticulation, Eskom-compliant installations, and healthcare-site work will strengthen a submission. Benefits to the public include a more reliable, higher-capacity electricity supply for a rural hospital serving the Tarkastad community. Prospective bidders should read the full tender document for pricing schedules, compliance requirements, CIDB grading, timelines and evaluation criteria before submitting.
Registered electrical contractors holding appropriate CIDB grading and Eskom-approved installer credentials, MV switchgear and kiosk substation manufacturers or distributors, and electrical engineering firms with experience in hospital or healthcare infrastructure. Small and medium businesses in the Eastern Cape, including those eligible for preferential procurement points, are encouraged to apply, ideally in joint ventures or subcontracting arrangements with larger electrical contractors.
