ESKOM SOC

This response is according to information received from Eskom

(a)(ii) and (b)

Eskom complies with its Procurement and Supply Chain Procedure (32-1034) which prescribes the process of managing tenders including records required.  Although Eskom maintains records of tenders issued, our reports are not configured to provide records of which tenders had briefing as well as which briefings were compulsory.

Eskom has records of tenders issued, however to check each and every record of the approximately 1974 tenders advertised for the period 01 January 2018 to 31 December 2018 is an extensive manual exercise which will take several weeks to conclude and verify.
