The selection of the EPC contractor(s) will be conducted through a phased approach commencing with this request for Expression of Interest (EOI), followed by a Request for Information (RFI), and progressing to a Request for Quotation (RFQ):

1. Expression of Interest (EoI)

• Purpose: To understand the interest and general capability of potential parties.
• Process:
  • Interested parties must first submit a signed Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) via the provided NDA Template to tenders@zlet.co.za.
  • Upon receipt of the signed NDA, ZET will provide a standard form for official submission of interest and general information.
  • All parties with a signed NDA will receive the minimum requirements for participation.
  • Parties that meet the minimum requirements will receive more detailed project information and process specifics. ZET may request additional information.
  • Parties not meeting the minimum requirements will be notified, but their details will be retained for potential future engagement as subcontractors.
  • All correspondence must be conducted exclusively through this email address tenders@zlet.co.za any communication received via an alternative email address will not be accepted.
• Outcome: ZET reserves the right to invite compliant parties to proceed to the Request for Information (RFI) stage.

2. Request for Information (RFI)

• Purpose: To develop a shortlist of potential preferred EPC contractors.
• Process:
  • After the ZET decision to proceed, only compliant parties from the EoI stage will receive a detailed questionnaire.
  • Parties must submit the completed questionnaire along with a binding statement of interest in participating in the Request for Proposal (RFP) process.
  • Based on the sole judgment of the ZET committee, a shortlist of candidates will be selected after evaluation.
  • Shortlisted parties will be notified and will proceed to the next stage.
  • Parties not shortlisted will be notified and will be maintained in the list of alternative contractors.
• Outcome: ZET reserves the right to invite the selected shortlisted parties to the Request for Proposal (RFP) stage.

3. Request for Proposal (RFP)

• Purpose: Selection of the main EPC contractor(s).
• Process: Details regarding the RFP process will be disclosed to the selected parties during the RFI stage.
