supply of cement

ESKOM is named as the body behind a requirement for cement. The published record carries the requirement at that level only: a title naming cement, a category of works, and ESKOM as the issuer. Nothing in the material describes the cement itself, the quantity, the delivery locations, the contract period, packaging, testing or acceptance criteria. The description field published with the notice holds an alphanumeric string rather than readable text, so it adds no detail about the product or the basis on which a bid would be judged. How the requirement will be evaluated, and whether samples, mill certificates or product approvals will be called for, is not stated. The notice does not say what a bid must contain, what the winner must actually deliver, which sites the material is intended for, or which country the requirement sits in.
