2 Contents Purpose Introduction
Analysis of Deviations and Expansions in Q4 FY2017/18 Tegeta Deviations and Expansions Concluding Remarks

3 Purpose and Introduction
Purpose: To present a report of ESKOM’s deviations and expansions for Q4 FY2017/18. Introduction: This report provides a review of 74 cases of deviations and expansions during Q4 of FY2017/18 Internal to Eskom the deviations and expansions are managed through a governance process through various tender committees with defined delegations of authority Recent audits on Eskom’s financial results have revealed compliance weaknesses in the procurement process, as well as shortcomings in the planning and contract management. Eskom is at an advanced stage of finalising an audit recovery programme The Recovery Programme is monitored by the Board’s Audit and Risk Committee. The objectives of the programme are: to address the identified weaknesses with a view to achieve a clean audit to improve performance of the procurement process to improve capital project development and delivery.

4 Eskom has a governance process to sanction expansions and deviations requests prior to NT submission
Deviation or Expansion required Motivation reviewed by relevant Eskom Tender Committee Approved? Y Application to NT Eskom Procurement Governance framework N Approved? Y Appeal? Y N Implement as per NT decision

5 In Q4 2017/18, the 74 Expansions & Deviations are circa 1% of total volume of new transactions for the period Eskom concluded 9159 new procurement transactions during Q4 2017/18. There were a total of 59 Expansions and 15 Deviations The 74 Expansions and Deviations represent <1% of total procurement transactions (by volume) placed over this period Expansions 59 transactions 1% 73.91% Deviations 15 transactions 0% New Transactions 9159 transactions 99%

6 Deviations

7 Deviations show a declining trend since Q3 of the previous financial year
The number of deviations submitted is showing a declining trend Eskom is actively driving down deviations Eskom submits on average deviations per quarter.

8 Deviations: overview for period Q4 2017/2018 (1/3)
Eskom submitted 15 Deviations The total value of the Deviations requested during the 2017/18 Q4 is R364 million 9 transaction valued at R196M were not approved by NT 5 transactions valued at R152M were supported by NT 73.91%

9 Deviations: overview for period Q4 2017/2018 (2/3)
Of the 15 deviations, 5 constitute 88% (R323M) of the total* value of the deviations requested Of the top 5 deviations, one transaction (supply of liquid sulphur) was approved. It constitutes 41% (R133M) of the top 5 deviations Three of the Top 5 valued at R174M (88%) were declined. These are # 49 - Limestone handling for Kusile (R75M) #51 - Kendal boiler's super heater (R53M) #46 - Line traps for Distribution and Transmission (R46M) A decision on the remaining single transaction in the Top 5 for the Upgrade of Water Treatment Plant Human Interface at Duvha Power Station (#52) valued at R15M is pending One of the 15 deviations was for the supply of coal to address shortfalls. While NT declined Eskom's initial request an alternative approach was recommended to source the requisite coal * The R364M of deviations does not include the coal purchase transaction Changed in Rev 1.1

10 Deviations: overview for period Q4 2017/2018 (3/3)
Of the 5 deviations that were approved One was a single supply (liquid sulphur) Two were justifiable based on delays (design/inclement weather/land claims) Two were justified on the basis of finalising remaining works to close the projects Eskom has complied with NT decisions where deviations requested were not supported

11 Expansions

12 There is no clear trend on volume of Expansions, however we are henceforth focused on reducing the volumes and value of expansions Eskom submits on average expansions per quarter. Greater effort is required to drive down expansions This is less than 1% of total transactions per quarter (by volume)

13 Expansions: Overview for period Q4 2017/2018
Eskom submitted 59 expansions The total value of the expansions requested during the 2017/18 Q4 is R24.13 billion 26 expansions valued at R9.48BN (39% of total expansions) were supported by NT 26 expansions valued at R14,46BN (60% of total expansions by value) were not supported by NT 73.91%

14 Expansions: Analysis of Top 10 for Q4 2017/2018
Top 10 expansions have a total value of R23.2Bn. (Value of all 59 expansions is R24.1Bn) Six of Top 10 expansions valued at R9.3Bn (38% of R24.1Bn) were approved Three of Top 10 expansions valued at R13.8Bn (57% of R24Bn) were declined. These are (#40) Maintenance and outage repair services for Boiler Pressure parts and/or the maintenance and outage repair services for High Pressure Pipework (Valued at R13.6 BN) (#86) Security Services (Valued at R136.8 M) (#33) Upgrade of existing plant, plus construction of new Ash Handling plant at Camden Power Station (Valued at R116.5 M) One expansion valued at R114M is pending. This transaction (#79) relates to Provision of Engineering and Project Management to Kusile Power Station Of the 26 expansions that were approved 13 were for time only. The balance of expansions (13) were approved on the basis of compelling reasons for continuity of services Of the 26 expansions that were not supported by NT, Eskom has since discovered that there are 3 cases where the contracts were implemented without NT support

15 Expansions: 3 Contracts Implemented without NT support

21 What is Eskom doing to drive deviations and expansions down?
Elevated approval of emergency and sole source procurement to Group Executives (Already lead to a reduction in deviations Detailed root cause analysis with a focus on the New Build Exco review completed – to be submitted to Board Purpose is to identify what went wrong in the past; identify potential future deviations/expansions; generally lesson for future – how can we avoid or minimise these?) Root cause analysis across rest of procurement in progress identify key drivers of modifications Review of full portfolio of contracts expiring over next 12 months Which contracts will be expiring? When? Put plan in place to avoid late process start The above efforts intended to improve demand and procurement planning as well as contract management Working with NT on improved methodologies to avoid deviations (eg. Coal contracts)

22 There is a strong leadership focus on ensuring compliance
Concluding Remarks There is a strong leadership focus on ensuring compliance Leadership commitment GCE and CFO will continue to drive leadership compliance with PFMA and PPPFA through initiatives that instill discipline, ethical behavior and professionalism Consequence management Eskom will continue to implement consequence management and remedial measures for contraventions in line with current policies Awareness training will be rolled out with the Procurement Tender Committees Treasury and Department of Public Enterprise alignment Reporting to Treasury and Department of Public Enterprises will be improved to ensure alignment on PPPFA Audit and Risk The Eskom Board Audit and Risk Committee will continue to provide oversight to the process to deliver an unqualified audit opinion.
