Zimbabwe Phosphate Industries wants an ECZ-registered structural engineer to assess the structural integrity of No. 30 East Park House, produce a technical report and approve the plan, within a month. Bids close 17 September 2026 at 10:00 CAT.

ZimPhos needs a structural engineer to inspect No. 30 East Park House and report on its structural integrity. The deliverable is a technical report setting out findings and recommendations, including the statutory requirements for remedy — so not just an opinion on the condition, but what the law requires to put it right. The engineer must then approve the plan following the assessment report. The firm requirement is registration with the Engineering Council of Zimbabwe. That is stated explicitly and it is the qualifying condition: an unregistered practitioner cannot sign off work of this kind. What is missing is the reason for the assessment. Nothing published says whether there is visible distress, a failure, a proposed alteration or a change of use behind it, nor the size, age or construction of the building. All of those determine how much investigation the job needs — a visual inspection and a full investigation with material testing are very different assignments. The period is one month. The full tender document was not available where we read this, so download it from the source, and expect to need a preliminary look at the building before committing to a fee.

Moderate effort to bid.

• The engineer must be registered with the Engineering Council of Zimbabwe (ECZ)

• Bid form fee is listed as 0. No document fee and no bid security are mentioned in what was published.

• Nothing says why the assessment is needed — visible distress, a proposed alteration or a change of use would each demand different depth of investigation.
• No building size, age or construction type is published.
• The engineer must also approve the plan after reporting, which extends the liability beyond the assessment itself.
• Nothing says whether material testing or opening up is expected or separately paid.
