Annexure A:Notes to Consultants

This is guidance to Consultants to assist their decision making about what cover to arrange in the insurance to be provided by the Consultant. The guidance is not part of the contract and the Employer carries no liability for it. The Consultant must obtain its own advice.

For the purpose of works contracts, insurance provided by Eskom (the Employer) has been arranged on the basis of project or contract value, where the value is the total of the Prices at Completion of the whole of the works including VAT.

A project is a collection of contracts or work packages to be undertaken as part of a single identified capital expansion or refurbishment of a particular asset or facility.

A contract is a single contract not linked to or being part of a project.

Further information and full details of all Eskom provided policies and procedures may be obtained from:

http://www.eskom.co.za/Tenders/InsurancePoliciesProcedures/Pages/EIMS_Policies_

From_1_April_2014_To_31_March_2015.aspx

The Insurance which the Consultant is to provide against his liability for claims made against him arising out of his failure to use reasonable skill and care (first row in the Insurance Table of clause 81.1 in the PSC3) should also indemnify the Consultant for those sums which he could become legally liable to pay as damages arising from any claim first made against him and reported to Insurers some time after Completion of the whole of the services. Hence the Consultant needs to ensure that his cover is in place at least until all his liabilities under the contract have expired. Such claims could arise out of any negligent act, error or omission committed or alleged to have been committed by the Consultant in the conduct of professional services in connection with the contract.
