4. Introduction
The Eskom Procurement and Supply Chain Management Policy establishes the governance
framework and gives direction for all procurement and supply chain management activities within
Eskom Holdings SOC Limited (Eskom).
Procurement and Supply Chain Management (P&SCM) within Eskom is mandated to align its
operations with the strategic objectives of Eskom and all relevant legislation, regulations, policies
and procedures and instructions listed in 3.2.1 Normative references.
The P&SCM vision is to provide a world-class procurement and supply chain management function
that ensures:
1. customer centricity through a centre-led model;
2. asstrong foundation for good governance;
3. a monitoring and reporting function that will make P&SCM a worthy and preferred advisor to
the business units it serves;
4. tacts as an enabler of and supporting the Eskom Corporate Plan and Strategy;
5. itis technology enabled, with a strong focus on process and consequence management; and
6. that P&SCM is ideally placed to serve as an incubator for procurement and supply chain
management talent in the organisation,
The P&SCM mandate is to optimally, cost effectively and safely manage the procurement and
supply chain management organisation, compliant to all relevant regulatory and legislative
frameworks that will
4. have a clear line-of-sight over all external spend, including Eskom wholly-owned subsidiaries;
2. enable Eskom to achieve best in class capabilities in the areas listed in section 2,3,
3. provide an appropriate platform for effective and efficient performance; and
4, ensure the right product / service at the right time without causing production interruptions.
2. Policy Content
21 Legislative Framework
‘As a wholly state-owned entity, Eskom is classified as an “organ of state” in accordance with the
Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, Act 108 of 1996 (the Constitution).
As an organ of state, Eskom is legally obligated, in terms of Section 217 of the Constitution, to
create and maintain an enabling procurement system.

Maid Revision 4
Page: 40f13
The Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act (PPPFA) 5 of 2000 and its associated
Regulations give effect to $217 (3) of the Constitution by prescribing the legislative and regulatory
framework to implement standardised tendering (bidding) processes in the procurement of goods
and services by organs of state. The PPPFA is intrinsically linked to the Public Finance
Management Act (Act 1 of 1999), by subjecting all Schedule 2 PFMA entities, which includes
Eskom, to the applicability of the PPPFA Regulations.
Both the Constitution and the PPPFA require organs of state to develop procurement policies that
align with the prescribed framework set out in the PPPFA, with exemption only being received with
respect to procurement authorised by Development Funding Institutions (DFls). In addition, The
Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Act, 53 of 2003 requires Eskom to apply the B-BBEE
Codes of Good Practice of 2013 in developing and implementing a preferential procurement policy.
This Policy (32-1033) and the Procedure (32-1034) therefore seek to ensure constitutional and
PPPFA alignment in all P&SCM processes.
Eskom's Delegation of Authority (DoA) Policy 240-62072907 (as approved by the Eskom Board of
Directors and updated from time to time) sets the financial and commercial parameters for
decision-making, approvals and consents across Eskom. All purchases, and/or leasing of assets,
goods or services and disposals are to be authorised and approved strictly in accordance with the
DoA.
The latest revisions of Eskom’s Conflict of Interest Policy, the Eskom Code of Ethics (The Way —
Standard), and the Eskom Lifesaving Rules are applicable to all P&SCM related activities, with a
zero-tolerance approach to unethical and unsafe practices.
The development of the Approved Procurement Framework is based on the Normative and
Informative References listed below. The specific processes and operational aspects of the
P&SCM environment are set out in detail for use by Eskom within the latest revision of the
Procurement and Supply Chain Management Procedure (32-1034) and the applicable Process
Control Manuals (PCMs).
22. Policy Principles
P&SCM will execute its mandate in accordance with the following policy principles, through
implementation of the required govemance and organisation structures, capabilities, processes
and procedures necessary to:
1. align P&SCM operations with the strategic objectives contained in the Eskom Corporate Plan;
2. support the relevant objectives of government, as the shareholder, to provide stable and
sustainable electricity supply, whilst meeting its developmental and social mandate supporting
socio-economic development, ensuring regulatory compliance and commercial viability. This
will be done through implementation and monitoring of Supplier Development and Localisation
initiatives (e.g. B-BBEE, New Growth Path and CSDP) and targets,
3. comply with all applicable normative legislative, regulatory and policy frameworks and align
with the applicable National Treasury instructions, practice notes and guidelines through
actively engaging with National Treasury to influence and coordinate the development and
timely implementation of applicable P&SCM related instructions and practice notes;
