QUESTION RESPONSE
I came across a tender online to transport coal for Eskom, I would just like to know how do I go about applying for it? The tender/Request for Proposal (RFP) is for the supply of coal i.e. Eskom is looking to buy coal and not standalone coal transportation services. Please can you guide me regarding the downloads of tender documents for this tender? The tender documents can be downloaded from one of two platforms:

QUESTION RESPONSE
Are we required to submit our questions prior to the clarification meeting, and if so what is the deadline date? You need not submit questions prior the clarification meeting. There will be a “question and answer” section as part of the meeting. What information are we expected to submit for “Cataloguing information” referred to in Annexure A? There is no cataloguing information required from the respondents. Will there be e-auction training provided at the clarification meeting? More info will be provided on e-auction at the clarification meeting scheduled for 16 October 2019. Do I need to provide any information/ documents already held by or submitted to Eskom in respect of previous tenders
resubmitted Any documents already held by / submitted to Eskom in respect of previous tenders or current contracts need to be resubmitted, for each tender.
QUESTIONS RECEIVED TO DATE (3/3)

QUESTION RESPONSE
Are we required to submit Annexure A (or any other documents) before the closing deadline? The annexures that fall under the “Mandatory returnable for evaluation” category must be returned with the tender before the closing date. While the documents under the “Mandatory returnable for contract award” category need not be submitted before the tender closing date. They will however be required to be submitted before Eskom awards the contract to successful bidder(s). Annexure A falls within the first category and therefore must be returned with the tender prior the closing date thereof.
