Tenders worth about R16 billion awarded by Eskom in October 2021 to Actom and Steinmuller Africa to provide maintenance and outage repair services at its 15 coal-fired power stations have been set aside and declared unlawful by the High Court in Pretoria.
The closing date for the tenders should be no more than two months from the date on which it is published.Negotiations with [those who submit] successful tenders shall be conducted and concluded within one month of the identification of the successful tenderers. Babcock lodged the application after it was disqualified from the tender process for failing to comply with a requirement in the request for proposals that it provide an ISO 3834 certificate issued by the South African Institute of Welding.In terms of the tender award, Steinmuller was awarded eight power stations and Actom seven.
Millar said for this reason, it would be imprudent to simply set aside the tender and interrupt the essential services being currently provided by Actom and Steinmuller. “This tender is to be set aside in consequence of the disqualification of a tenderer because of an ambiguity in the tender document,” he added.
