U-Eskom ufake isicelo sokuphikisa isinqumo senkantolo ephakeme esamemezela ukuthi amathenda abiza izigidigidi ezili-R16 okulungisa nokucisha iziteshi zawo eziphehla ugesi ngamalahle angu-15 ayengekho emthethweni futhi abekelwa eceleni.
Amathenda anikezwa i-Actom kanye ne-Steinmuller Africa ngo-Okthoba 2021.
Esinqumweni esikhishwe mhla ziyi-17 kuLwezi eNkantolo eNkulu yasePitoli, iJaji u-Anthony Millar wayalela u-Eskom ukuthi enze uhlelo olusha lwethenda futhi wakumisa ukubekelwa eceleni kwezinkontileka ne-Actom kanye ne-Steinmuller Africa kuze kuphothulwe.
NgoLwesibili i-Eskom ifake isaziso sayo sesicelo semvume yokudlulisa isinqumo sonke kanye nomyalelo okhishwe uMillar.
Lesi sinqumo silandela uBabcock Ntuthuko Engineering efake isicelo sokubuyekeza, ukubekela eceleni kanye nokumemezela ukuthi akukho emthethweni ukuklonyeliswa kwenkontileka kwabakwa-Actom kanye ne-Steinmuller Africa, ngemuva kokuhoxiswa kwethenda ngokwehluleka ukuhambisana nemfuneko yesicelo seziphakamiso (RFP) sokuhlinzeka. isitifiketi se-ISO 3834 esikhishwe yiSouth African Institute of Welding.
Mayelana nokuklonyeliswa kwethenda, iSteinmuller yaklonyeliswa ngeziteshi zikagesi eziyisishiyagalombili kwathi i-Actom eziyisikhombisa.
‘Inkantolo inephutha’
Esicelweni sabo sokudlulisa icala, u-Eskom uthi inkantolo yenza iphutha ngokuphetha ngokuthi umbandela we-ISO wawungaqondakali, futhi inqubo yethenda yayingenabulungiswa – nokuthi ukunikezwa kwethenda kwabuyekezwa ngalezi zizathu.
Mayelana nokuhoxiswa kukaBabcock kuthenda, uMillar uthe esahlulelweni sakhe u-Eskom wathi “isitifiketi” sisho “isitifiketi” kanti ukwehluleka kukaBabcock ukuhambisa isitifiketi se-ISO 3834 kwaba ukwehluleka ukuhambisa incwadi eyisibopho okufanele ibuyiswe ukuze ihlolwe.

UMillar uthe amagama athi “isitifiketi” kanye “nesitifiketi” kokubili avela nohlu lwe-Commercial Tender Returnables (CTRs) emqulwini wethenda futhi, lapho kufundwa ngokucacile ukusetshenziswa kwale migomo, kuyacaca ukuthi bekungahlosiwe ukuthi esetshenziswa njengomqondofana.
Uthe ukuphikisana kuka-Eskom kokuthi “isitifiketi” kanye “nesitifiketi” kufanele kufundwe njengamanoninimi futhi ngokushintshana kumongo wohlu lwe-CTR, akunasisekelo.
Ukwenza kanjalo kuzonikeza izidingo ezibekwe endimeni ethile yohlu lwe-CTR “olungenangqondo, olungenangqondo futhi olungekho endaweni ngokuhambisana nokwakhiwa kwe-RFP nenjongo yayo”, esho.
Izingxabano
Esicelweni salo semvume yokudlulisa isinqumo nomyalelo, U-Eskom ithe inkantolo ithi “ukunikeza isitifiketi” kusho “isenzo sesigameko sokuqinisekisa iqiniso” noma “okubhekiswe esigungwini esinegunya lokukhipha isitifiketi”.
U-Eskom uthe akukho ukutolika “kwesitifiketi” okufanela kahle ekwakhekeni kwemibandela ye-ISO ngendlela eyenza incazelo yaso ibe nengqondo.
“Kodwa noma ngabe incazelo yenkantolo yamukelwa, umbandela we-ISO usadinga ukulethwa kwesitifiketi se-ISO 3834.
“Isitifiketi yindlela i-ejensi enikeza izitifiketi noma ‘umzimba’ oqinisekisa ngayo ukuthi umuntu uhlangabezana nezinga lekhwalithi,” kusho.
U-Eskom wengeze ngokuthi akukho esinqumweni senkantolo esisekela ukuhunyushwa kwemibandela ye-ISO eyamukelwa u-Babcock, okungukuthi “isitifiketi” sisho isitatimende nje somuntu obhidayo sokuthi uphethe isitifiketi.
Ithe ukuhunyushwa kombandela wangaphambili we-ISO wokuthi into engaphansi kwesitifiketi se-ISO 3834 bekufuneka ukuthi ilethwe ababhidayo – njengesitatimende nje somuntu obhidayo ukuthi iqinisekisiwe – yephula inhloso yombandela.
U-Eskom uthe uma umbandela we-ISO ufundwa ngale ndlela, ngisho nomuntu ofaka amathenda ongagunyaziwe owayengakufanelekeli ukushisela ezingeni elifanele angaphasa isigaba sokuhlolwa kwezidingo eziphoqelekile futhi anikezwe ithenda ngokusekelwe esitatimendeni “esingamanga” sokuthi siqinisekisiwe.
U-Eskom uthe umbandela we-ISO awucacile futhi inkantolo yenza iphutha ngokwenza lokhu.
‘Akukho ukudideka’
Inhlangano yamandla yengeze ngokuthi alikho iqembu, okuhlanganisa no-Babcock, eliphikisayo kuma-afidavithi yalo noma izimpikiswano eziyinhloko ekubuyekezeni ukuthi umbandela we-ISO awucacile.
U-Eskom uthe ukubeke kwacaca ukuthi i-RFP empeleni yayidinga ukulethwa kwesitifiketi se-ISO 3834 futhi bobabili u-Acom no-Steinmuller baqonda ukuthi isitifiketi se-ISO 3834 sasidingwa yi-RFP futhi siyahambisana nale mfuneko.
“UBabcock uqobo wayesiqonda ngale ndlela imfuneko. U-Babcock uvumile ezincwadini zakhe eziya kwa-Eskom mhla ziyi-19 kuLwezi wezi-2018 ‘ukuthi amakhophi ezitifiketi zakhe zamanje ze-ISO 3834 kungenzeka akhishwe ngephutha emibhalweni yokubhida kwa-Eskom’ futhi wathumela kaningi izitifiketi ze-ISO 3834 ngemuva kosuku lokuvala ithenda emzamweni wokwelapha. isici.
“Abukho ubufakazi banoma yimuphi omunye umuntu ofaka amathenda obuphakamisa ukuthi umbandela we-ISO wawungaqondakali noma uphakamisa ukuthi umbandela awudingi isitifiketi se-ISO 3834 kodwa kwakuyisitatimende nje sokuthi lowo obhidayo unaso.
“Kodwa noma ngabe umbandela we-ISO ungacaci kahle, ukungaqondakali kwasuswa wumhlangano wokucacisa ngamathenda owawubanjwe ngabakwa-Eskom ngaphambi kokuthi kuthunyelwe amabhidi, obuhanjelwe ngabafake izicelo, okuhlanganisa no-Babcock,” isho kanje.
“Njengoba isihloko sawo sisho, umhlangano wabizwa ukuze ‘kucaciswe’ izidingo zamathenda okungenzeka kube nokungaqiniseki.
“Amaminithi omhlangano aqophe ukuthi abafaka amathenda kwakudingeka banikeze ‘isitifiketi esisemthethweni se-ISO 3834’ futhi, ephendula umbuzo ovela kumdayisi, u-Eskom wathi ‘ikhophi eqinisekisiwe eqinisekisiwe’ yaleso sitifiketi iyokwanela.
“Ngakho-ke kwaqinisekiswa ukuthi ukuhanjiswa kwesitifiketi hhayi okuncane bekufunwa yi-RFP,” isho kanje.
Uma isicelo sika-Eskom semvume yokudlulisa icala siphumelela, uzomisa ukukhishwa kwesinqumo sikaMillar kuze kube kuphothulwa uhlelo lokudlulisa icala, okuhlanganisa nomyalelo wakhe wokuthi inqubo entsha yethenda kufanele isheshiswe futhi iqalwe futhi iqedwe phakathi nenkathi eyizinyanga eziyisithupha.
Lesi sihloko savela okokuqala ku-Moneyweb futhi saphinde sashicilelwa ngemvume.
