ESKOM has successfully appealed a high court judgment that set aside and declared unlawful tenders worth about R16 billion that were to provide maintenance and outage repair services at its 15 coal-fired power stations.
The tenders were awarded in October 2021 to Actom and Steinmüller Africa.
“The Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) on Monday dismissed with costs an application by Babcock Ntuthuko Engineering to review, set aside and declare unlawful the contracts awarded in October 2021 to Actom and Steinmüller Africa and to set aside the November 2022 judgment by Judge Anthony Millar in the High Court in Pretoria.”
The high court and SCA judgments followed Eskom on 6 August 2018 publishing a request for proposals (RFP) inviting tenders for maintenance and outage repair services for boiler pressure parts and high outage repair services for pressure pipework at its 15 coal-fired power stations. – moneyweb.co.za
