Rio Tinto has introduced this Portal to allow businesses to view expressions of interest (EOIs) for goods and / or services required by Rio Tinto from time to time, and to allow eligible businesses (ie. those that have completed the registration process) to submit responses to those EOIs.

Rio Tinto will decide, in its absolute discretion, which businesses that have responded to an EOI will be invited to respond to a Request Document issued by Rio Tinto for the supply of goods/services that it requires (which may be through a request for information (RFI), a request for proposal (RFP), a request for tender (RFT) a request for quote (RFQ) or any other form of request document issued by Rio Tinto).

Uploading or posting a response to an EOI does not guarantee that Rio Tinto will invite you to respond to a Request Document or that Rio Tinto will ultimately issue you with a Purchase Order or enter into a Contract with you. Rio Tinto reserves its absolute discretion in respect of these matters and will have no liability to you as a result of any decision to award or not award a contract to you.

EOI-00026 Launder Cleaning Machine 04/09/2025 11/09/2025 22:00 Richards Bay South Africa Sep 2025  

Slag Tapping and Cleaning Process Enhancement

MPH is currently responsible for tapping molten slag, which is transferred from the furnace to T-cups via launders. During this process, slag accumulates on the launders and is manually cleaned by tapping operators at the end of each tap.

To improve safety and operational efficiency, we want to appoint a suitable supplier to design and fabricate a mechanical solution for cleaning the accumulated slag. The objective is to eliminate manual intervention and remove personnel from the line of fire.

Given the technical nature of the requirement, the appointed supplier will be expected to:

  • Conduct a site assessment,
  • Present a proposed solution,
  • Proceed with fabrication upon approval from all relevant stakeholders.
