SP Energy HubAnnual ReportReliabilitySustainabilityInnovation Eye on the Grid RELIABILITY Mr Tan Teck Wee, Head, Distribution Control & Customer Service (standing), with Principal Operation Officer Ghazali Bin Mohamed Rahim in the Distribution Control Centre. The ringing of Tan Teck Wee’s phone at 1.20am jolted him from his sleep. There was a blackout affecting several areas. In the 30 minutes that Teck Wee, head of SP Group’s Distribution Control & Customer Service, took to get to the control centre at Ayer Rajah, work was already under way to bring supply back up. As the central nervous system of Singapore’s power distribution network, red-coded alarms on the dashboard showed the affected locations. On one wall, screens displayed incident alerts, digital maps and data on energy demand from the 11,000 substations and over 27,000km of cables that make up Singapore’s electricity grid. With various teams working together, power was restored within a few minutes, and Teck Wee was soon on his way home. A 25-year SP veteran, Teck Wee is on standby 24/7. He oversees the work of 95 staff. Apart from the 15 staff who man the control centre around the clock, team members from the Electricity Service Centre receive calls from customers and mobilise officers to attend to supply disruption.  Emergency response makes up the bulk of his team’s work, even if most problems are solved before customers are impacted, explained Teck Wee, who trained as an electrical engineer. Most often, when the alarms go off, it takes less than a minute for the incoming data to be reviewed, a remote restoration attempted, or for supply to be re-routed. A service crew is also dispatched for a manual check. In a supply disruption, staff at the control centre will first try to restore supply through remotely switching to an alternate feed. If this is not possible, it will send out mobile generators to provide temporary power to customers. The team is supported by 20 standby officers deployed in five zones across Singapore. When activated, these standby teams examine and re-condition the substation equipment to rectify the issue.   Technology drives precise and prompt response. Through a combination of sensors, monitors, alarms, micro-processors and a communication network, the control centre team can quickly pinpoint and manage disturbances on the network. Artificial Intelligence helps engineers make faster decisions through diagnostics of incidents to identify causes and possible actions. Supply disruptions could occur for different reasons, such as roadworks which can damage cables, or accidents, says Teck Wee. A rogue snake or monitor lizard sneaking into an over-ground supply box could also cause an outage. Singapore's electricity network ranks top among major cities. Based on a benchmarking report, in 2017, customers in Singapore experienced an average of 0.19 minute of electricity interruption, compared to Osaka’s 5 minutes and London’s 16.70 minutes. Despite that, Teck Wee says every incident is taken seriously, and the teams look closely at ways to prevent it from occurring again. Keeping the nation’s grid going strong is a source of great pride. “Electricity affects quality of life in so many ways and it’s gratifying to know that we can play a part in upholding it for consumers, he said. — 15 May 2019 TAGS PEOPLE OF SPRELIABILITY YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED TO READ Ground feedback, digital tools: How she helps 8,000 workers end their day safely Faster repairs, fewer disruptions: Meet the innovative teams using smart tech to keep your piped gas supply flowing Engineer, 27, shares how she is undaunted by male-dominated energy industry & climbs the ranks

Contractor Performance Management System Introduction 1. With effect from 1 October 2016, Singapore Power Limited and its Singaporeincorporated subsidiaries (SP Group) has implemented the SP Group’s Contractor Performance Management System (CPMS) to strengthen its partnership with and improve the safety and quality performance of its contractors. 2. Through the CPMS, SP Group aims to take a holistic approach to the selection of its contractors as part of enhancing procurement process, by looking at the performance of its contractors at a quarterly and annual basis and not only based at performance at each individual contract basis. The previous demerit scheme in respect of each contract will be abolished while an incentive and mitigation scheme that goes towards enabling contractors to improve their performance on a longer term basis is now implemented. Objectives 3. The objectives of the CPMS are: (a) (b) (c) to adopt a more holistic approach in reviewing contractors’ overall performance; to work with contractors to raise safety and quality standards; and to encourage an environment of continuous improvement by contractors. 4. In order to achieve the above objectives, CPMS will utilise the following 3 main components: (a) (b) (c) Contractor Performance Assessment (CPA); Business Under Surveillance (BUS) Programme; and Tender Evaluation Framework (TEF). SP Group CPMS V6.0 19 Jul 2023 1 Applicability 5. The CPMS will be applicable for procurement in relation of the following services and works: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) cable installation, cable jointing and road reinstatement; gas pipe-laying; milling and patching; transmission cable-laying; building and construction; and other road opening-related works (e.g., manhole access works). SP Group intends to broaden the scope of the CPMS to eventually apply the CPMS for procurement of other engineering-related works and services. 6. The CPMS will apply to contracts awarded on or after 1 October 2016 and any ongoing contracts which fall in any of the above categories set out in paragraph 5. All aspects of the CPMS, such as the BUS Programme and rewards and mitigations, will apply to such contracts. Contractor Performance Assessment 7. For each contract, a contractor will be assessed by the relevant SP Group project team in the following four (4) areas: (a) (b) (c) (d) Safety. Quality of Work; Project & Risk Management; and Value Added Services. These scores for each contract (Contract Quarterly Score) will be tabulated at fixed quarterly basis. The individual Contract Quarterly Scores applicable for each contract will then be averaged to derive the Contractor Quarterly Score. SP Group CPMS V6.0 19 Jul 2023 2 The criteria have a direct impact on risk mitigation which helps to review the way work activities are planned and executed. The objective of the enhancements is to reduce risk and improve safety at work sites. The PSR shall review the risk identification and mitigation measures to be taken during the design & construction for all contracts within SP Group. Emphasis will be given to the PSR communication to workers through the Risk Management workshops on site. ABSIS will be used to engage with the worker level to improve work processes and create a safer environment to work in. SP Group will assess the contractors’ senior management engagement with their workers through various in-house activities. 8. Examples of the factors taken into consideration in determining the individual Contract Quarterly Score are as follows Safety • Safety Performance • Site Safety Management • Safety Engagement by Management • Project Safety Review (PSR) • Risk Management workshop • Activity Based Safety Improvement System (ABSIS) Quality of Work • Documentation • Workmanship • Any damage to properties Project & Risk Management • Incident management • Cooperativeness • Meeting schedules Value Added Services • Initiatives to improve productivity and efficiency SP Group CPMS V6.0 19 Jul 2023 3 9. In addition to the above criteria, SP Group will also take into account the occurrence of any Critical Incidents when determining the Contractor’s Quarterly Score by applying a corresponding adjustment factor to their score. (a) The Critical Incidents includes: Critical Incidents Smoking or open flame in gas installations and electricity transmission substations Not adhering strictly to isolation procedures for live electricity or gas equipment and machinery at site Damage to Transmission Cables / Gas Pipes Damage to Distribution Cables / Gas Pipes Not anchoring safety harness while working at heights exceeding 3 metres Working in a confined space without conducting mandatory gas check Working under suspended load during lifting or excavator operations Fatality or serious injury Where Serious Injury is defined as: Serious Injuries Loss of 2 limbs Loss of both hands or of all fingers and both thumbs Loss of both feet Total loss of sight, including the loss of sight to such extent as to render the employee unable to perform any work for which eyesight is essential Total paralysis Injuries requiring more than 20 days of hospitalization. (Hospitalization refers to the period where injured remains warded in a hospital) Loss of arm at shoulder Loss of arm between elbow and shoulder Injuries resulting in being permanently bedridden Loss of arm at elbow Loss of arm between wrist and elbow SP Group CPMS V6.0 19 Jul 2023 4 Loss of hand at wrist Loss of 4 fingers and thumb of one hand Loss of 4 fingers Loss of leg • At or above knee • Below knee Loss of foot Loss of sight of one eye Total loss of hearing (b) The Serious Incidents includes: Serious Incidents Damage to Distribution Cables/ Gas pipes affecting less than or equal to 300 customers Damage to Public assets (e.g., PUB pipes, streetlights) Note: Contractors shall not be penalised for damages to the public assets if it was unavoidable due to Authorities’ drawings that provided inaccurate factual information and the Contractor’s detection works did not provide better information. 10. At the end of each quarter, SP Group will provide each contractor a grade relative to their score to provide them timely information on their performance. The names and grades for each contractor scored in each quarter shall be available on the SP Group corporate website. 11. In the event the Contractor’s Quarterly Score is lower than 50, the contractor will be suspended from participating in any new procurement activities for the next 3 months. In the event of an occurrence of a fatality or serious injury at his work site, the main contractor and its subcontractor will be suspended from participating in any new procurement activities for 12 months from the incident date. The suspended contractors and their subsidiaries are also not allowed to apply to be sub-contractors for any SP Group contracts during the suspension period. SP Group CPMS V6.0 19 Jul 2023 5 12. The Contractor Quarterly Scores will be aggregated on an annual basis [Contractor Annual Score]. Contractors must have at least two (2) Contractor Quarterly Scores to be included for the Contractor Annual Score computation. 13. At the end of each Assessment Year, the 5 contractors with the highest Contractor Annual Score for the year will be given an incentive of 2% of the total annual value of their respective contracts capped at $100,000.00 per year per contractor. The annual value of each contract is computed as follows: where: ACV is the annual value of a contract; ACV = A X B A is the Contract Sum divided by the Contract Period [weeks]; and B is the number of weeks [or part thereof] where Works carried out in that year under that contract. 14. The 2 contractors with the lowest annual scores will be subjected to a penalty deduction to their PQS scores in all subsequent SP Group tenders published during the next Assessment Year. In addition, they would also have to comply with performance improvement requirements specified by SP Group to address areas of deficiency. SP Group CPMS V6.0 19 Jul 2023 6 Business Under Surveillance (BUS) Programme 15. The BUS Programme is an educational and correctional tool aimed to partner contractors to address safety and quality issues encountered by contractors in the course of their work for the SP Group and in the longer term help improve their safety and quality standards. The BUS Programme and will be activated in the following situations: (a) (b) Occurrence of any Critical Incident; and/or 3 or more safety inspections at the project sites where major safety-related non-conformances (safety non-conformance) are observed. 16. In the event of the activation of the BUS Programme, the Contractor will be required to undergo the activities as follows: 17. Stopping work at the affected site[s] during a BUS Programme is important to allow contractors to review its safety practices and focus on its operational methods and processes with the aim of preventing further incidents from occurring again. 18. If the contractor placed on a BUS Programme is unable to meet the exit requirements at the end of the 5 th week, a further 2 weeks extension will be granted. If the contractor is still unable to meet the exit requirements at the end of the 7 th week, the contractor will be placed on a second BUS Programme to address the failure of the first BUS Programme. SP Group CPMS V6.0 19 Jul 2023 7 19. In the event the contractor is placed on the BUS Programme more than 2 times in a calendar quarter, the contractor will be suspended from participating in any new procurement activities for the next three months. The suspended contractors and their subsidiaries are also not allowed to apply to be sub-contractors for any SP Group contracts during the suspension period. 20. From 1 Apr 2023, Contractor shall not be under MOM’s Business Under Surveillance programme (BUS) OR not accumulated 25 or more demerit points under MOM’s DPS as at the Tender Closing Date and before the Tender Award Date. Tender Evaluation Framework 21. The CPMS adopts a tender evaluation framework that comprises the following 3 Stages: 22. Stage 1 (SET) aims to inculcate a mindset of safety being the highest priority among our contractors, by selecting only likeminded contractors who have adequate safety management system and track records to work on our projects. Contractors who meet the SET requirements will be pre-qualified to participate in SP Group’s tenders for works described in paragraph 5 above. Once such pre-qualification is granted by SP to the contractors, it shall be valid for the entire Assessment Year. Any contractor which fails the Stage 1 assessment can apply for re-assessment at the start of new calendar quarter after being notified of its failure to pre-qualify. SP Group CPMS V6.0 19 Jul 2023 8 23. In the subsequent Stage 2 and 3 of the evaluation of bids submitted for CPMS applicable tenders, each bidder’s Contractor Quarterly scores over the past 2 years will be taken into account to determine the successful bidder. Where a bidder does not have sufficient records of past Contractor Quarterly Scores (e.g. new contractors) a default score will be used instead. Amendments and FAQs 24. SP Group may modify the CPMS at any time and such amendments shall be deemed immediately applicable to the contracts that are ongoing at the time of such amendments. Contractors are strongly encouraged to check https://www.spgroup.com.sg/doing-business-with-us/procurement for amendments, updates and FAQs relating to the CPMS. 25.
