Please clarify this for me. 4)As an emerging company with no secretory how will I have an Appointment Letter of Signatory. How do I make? Please clarify and give a format of this Appointment letter of Signatory. Could you please send me the address where the tender forms for the substations are available. I would like to complete them. Submit on the letter stating who may sign a contract on behalf of your company Submit on the letter stating who may sign a contract on behalf of your company They are advertised on the Eskom Tender Bulletin - please find the advert amongst the tenders closing in February Kindly advice if there was any compulsory site meeting or the tender is still opened for public even if one did not attend the meeting. No compulsory meeting- you may tender although you did not attend the meeting I would like to know if we have to sign and forward you an acknowledgement form even though we downloaded the tender document for cleaning and gardening services on your website

2 Kindly advice if there was any compulsory site meeting or the tender is still opened for public even if one did not attend the meeting. It was not compulsory- you may tender Good day. I am humbly request your nr for inquiries for the contract All questions to be submitted on I, just need to know whether my company will be eligible to attend the site meeting/visits, and lastly whether it's permissible for me to submit tender for only three (3) substations instead of 14? Hi is this tender opened for everyone who reside in SA? Will it be awarded to each service provider? Or will be awarded to per sub station? Or per district municipality Experience will it count? How will we use the information shared with us at the site meetings (at the various sites) you are and you may tender even if you did not attend the meeting and you may tender for any number of substations Please read the invitation to Tender on the Eskom Tender Bulletin thoroughly- all the anwers are in there We will share historical information with you as well as a detailed scope of works. Kindly note that we expect you to submit an offer based on your assessment of the situation irt the number of employees/equipment needed - to ensure that you will not once the contracts have been negotiated no-one contractor will claim that we gave the numbers and now the numbers are not able to deliver the quality and extend of the scope of work.

3 Hi at the briefing u said it was not compulsory meaning the bidders are familiar with the substation they are bidding for or because of some other reasons. And if you were saying it is not compulsory your bill of quantity was supposed to be clear to everyone and u also came with the issue of site visit which we requested and u also said it is not compulsory. I do believe the purpose of visiting the sites is to have a common idea about the sites we will be bidding for in terms of requirements for each site as they differ. Now u said is not also compulsory a d if that is the case what is the use to have site register and it will serve for which purpose a use the will be a lot of confusion in terms of scope of work, bill of quality per site and number of days per site for cleaning. Are u also saying that those who never attended a site meeting their documents will be evaluated further.please clarify on this issue. Our tender processes are as per the RSA Constitution: Fair, equitable, transparent, market related and competitive., none of the meetings are compulsory. This allows everyone interested to tender even if they could not attend any of the meetings. We however have posted the minutes of the site clarification meeting on the Eskom Tender Bulletin where this tender has been advertised. The bill is very clear as well as the the Invitation to tender, as all updates are posted on the website based on request from the tendrers. The Quations and answers on the website also assist as all questions asked with answers are published on the same website. It is also our intention to publish the presentations of information that were done at the various stations on the Eskom Tender Bulletin towards the end of next week.

4 Hi can u provide us with the numbers of cleaners and gardeners u expecting per site so that as service provider will do uniform thing in terms of quantity. By so doing it will be fair enough to every bidder. But if not stated on your bill of quantity what do u expect from us cause this will lead to confusion. Please take this into consideration even for future. We believe Eskom is a big experience company u can say to contractors this is an open space quote for me how many house can u built for us not giving them the sizes of houses u r expecting. Our tender processes are according to the bill of human rights as enschrined in our RSA Constitution: Fair, equitable, transparent, market related and competitive., none of the meetings are compulsory.

There are some questions and clarification I would like to be helped with: 1) For financial returnables - The company hasn't make an income for the past two years and it's establishment is less than a year. - Will the company survive for a fair tender practice if it only have assets? You can only submit what you have. Please then submit management accounts for the period less than a year, please. Your financial officer will be able to assist you in this regard. Please refer to the invitation to tender again- that is the process and please read the scope of work, that is what you have to deliver on. Our tender processes are according to the RSA Constitution: Fair, equitable, transparent, market related and competitive. Evaluations will be done strictly according to the criteria set out in the Invitation to Tender

5 2) Clarity to be awarded a contract on Mandatory for Evaluation / Mandatory for Contract Award - e.g. The company has not yet have a COID, have acknowledgement letter as a proof from Dept. of Labour. Please read the invitation to tender thoroughly- all the information appears there. We will consider the letter from the Department of Labour and will follow labour legislation requirements at a contract award. 3) Page 14 - Company is less than a year and does not have financial statement = Do I only submit the bank statement? Refer to your question nr 1 Page As per technical evaluation criteria( What are they and how do I get points) Please read the invitation to tender thoroughly- all the information appears there. The technical evaluation criteria is stated clearly in the tender evaluation process on the document and also tells how tenders will be evaluted and scored. 3) Page 11 - How do i have weight(w) and score if a company doesn't have point 1.1, 2, 2.1 = Will it still be recognized? We will evaluate strictly according to the set criteria as set out in the invitation to tender. No results will be forecasted at this stage. The ones I've asked lately are not been clarified on the bulletin Clarification Question - Rev 1 & 2 is still same answers which were firstly asked, please rectify that Kindly please read the latest version REV 2 of the Q AND A- your questions are addressed and answers cannot change, they will stay there for the duration of the tender process. Please read all the questions as the latest ones will be at the bottom. Page 9: SHE requirements - What is impact of SHE requirements on first time tenderers who haven't yet attended the induction yet? Page 14: IRP30 - is it a must for this tender? as SMME can't I register for PAYE deduction when the tender is awarded? NEC3 Term Service (Short contract TSSC3) REFERS: LABOUR & EQUIPMENT PRICE LIST Induction is only done after a contract has been awarded to a contractor- therfore no effect at tender stage IRP30 - Please ignore this requirement

6 First 4 columns of Item number A - C will completed by Eskom, the tenderer only complete the "Rate column"? SCOPE OF WORK Is page 27 for completion? Page 39: Do I appoint my own Health & Safety Representative? Should this person per a full time employee or consulting individual? Tenderer to submit rates for all Technical specifications: (New Equipment)- yes complete, please. Gardening and Cleaning contractors working on Transmission substations and Offices will not be required to appoint any of their staff or additional staff as a SHE Representative or First Aider on the site. Each Transmission Substation and office already have relevant Health and Safety Structures for permanent Eskom Transmission staff on site which include a SHE representatives and First Aiders. The Gardening and Cleaning contractors on sites will therefore comply with the existing statutory regulations on each site and do not need to appoint additional services / consultant for this purpose. The appointed Gardening and Cleaning staff on a site will also not be expected to be trained as First Aider or SHE Representative. From the bottom of page 40 (flash report) to page 44 I assume it's later completion; am I right?
