The training aims to equip the official with comprehensive knowledge and practical competencies in the electrical systems of diesel generators, focusing on foundational principles, safe operation, preventive maintenance, and systematic fault diagnosis.

Scope of Work

• Duration: Five (5) consecutive days.
• Participants: One (1) official.
• Delivery Format: Physical, in-person contact classes.
• Curriculum Coverage: The training must encompass electrical basic engineering, operation and use of electrical measuring and test instruments, identification of electrical components, analysis of basic electrical circuits, practical electrical assignments, introduction to diesel generators, alternator and protection systems, diesel engine mechanical operation and control, generator fault finding, and complete operation and maintenance procedures.

Technical Requirements

• Submission Documentation: Bidders must attach a complete course content outline, proof of accreditation or validation for the training program, and a formal service provider quotation.

• Contractual Agreement: Awarded bidders must execute a standard written contract form (DPW04.1 GS or DPW04.2 GS).

Skills Requirements

• The service provider must demonstrate verified capability in delivering accredited technical training programs specific to power generation and electrical systems.
• Instructors must possess advanced expertise in electrical engineering fundamentals, diesel engine mechanics, alternator protection protocols, and diagnostic troubleshooting methodologies.
• Providers must be equipped to conduct both theoretical instruction and supervised practical assignments, ensuring trainees achieve operational proficiency and safety compliance.
• Bidding organizations must maintain administrative competence in South African public procurement frameworks, including accurate completion of preferential procurement declarations and tax compliance verification.

Notes on Unusual or Complicated Terms

• Module 2: Indicates this training is part of a tiered curriculum. Bidders must ensure their syllabus aligns with the intermediate/advanced specifications designated as Module 2, rather than submitting a generic or introductory course outline.
• Contact Classes: Specifies that training must be delivered physically at a designated venue or site. Remote, virtual, or self-paced digital learning formats are explicitly excluded.
• 80/20 Preference Point System: A standard South African government procurement scoring framework where 80% of the evaluation score is determined by competitive pricing, and 20% is allocated to socio-economic transformation goals such as ownership demographics and geographic service areas.
• CSD & TCS: The Central Supplier Database (CSD) and Tax Compliance Status (TCS) are mandatory National Treasury registries. CSD verifies business legitimacy and banking details, while TCS confirms adherence to South African Revenue Service (SARS) tax obligations. Both are non-negotiable prerequisites for public sector contracting.
