MBABANE – EEC has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) to select a company that will provide professional and best possible services in successfully supplying and installing the Edwaleni high mast lighting. 


Eswatini Electricity Company (EEC) desires a lighting system from an entity with integrity that will provide a service that will give value for money to the company. In the RFP, it was explained that the eventual winner of the tender will be expected to supply the required equipment; deliver to site, install, test and be responsible for commissioning of the system. The contracted company should provide 12 months warranty from date of official handover, expressly stating the defect liability period.
The contractor should also have and make available sufficiently qualified and competent personnel to satisfactorily carry out all aspects of the contract work. The tenderer will be expected to surrender all designs and drawings, schemes and manuals for maintenance of the new system.


Ensuring conformity to healthy, safety and environmental requirements as stipulated by the laws of the country also forms part of the expectations by EEC.
“The evaluation will be separated into two parts. First will be the technical evaluation after which the financial evaluation will be done for those consultants that surpass the minimum accepted score for technical proposals,” reads the RFP in part.
The weights to be used for the evaluation are as follows: technical (60 per cent) and financial (40 per cent).


It consists of the Hydro house where the hydro generators are located, diesel generators’ house, work shops, offices, switch rooms and switch yard where there are breakers as well as isolators. Due to the fact that the power station is in operation 24/7, there arises a need to have a more efficient lighting system for the employees to work safely during the night. Over the years the station lighting system has deteriorated such that some areas are no longer efficiently lit up. It was also pointed out that the power station has experienced several cases of theft and the provision of sufficient lighting will assist with security.


Submissions


The deadline for submissions will be January 25, 2019. Most recently, in its quest to be an efficient service provider, EEC presented a business opportunity to companies to come up with a billing system.
The parastatal has issued an expression of interest for the custom development of a post-paid billing system. The deadline for submissions had earlier been slated for November 30, 2018 but has since been shifted to January 17, 2019.
EEC was looking to work with a suitable and capable company, with a proven record of accomplishment in project management, business analysis, software development, software testing, system deployment and system documentation.


“The company is needed to develop a new billing system that will meet EEC’s current billing functionalities, address existing challenges and develop new functionality that will align with improvements in billing processes,” read the Expression of Interest (EOI) in part.
