Transmedia wants 50 integrated receiver decoders delivered to Old Mutual Centre, Harare within 60 days but no technical specification is published. Bids close 22 September 2026 at 10:00 CAT.

Fifty integrated receiver decoders — broadcast IRD equipment — for Transmedia, delivered to the 9th floor, Old Mutual Centre, corner 3rd and Jason Moyo Avenue, Harare. The delivery period is 60 days, funded from the GoZ Treasury regular budget allocation, with quotations valid for 30 days. It runs under the Competitive Bidding Method. The full tender document was not available to us — download it from the source before quoting, because an IRD is defined by its input and output standards and none is published.

Moderate effort to bid.

• No input standard is given — DVB-S2, DVB-S2X or IP — and no output interfaces, decoding formats or resolution, and those define an IRD entirely.
• No conditional access or descrambling requirement is stated, which is usually central to an IRD purchase.
• The notice does not say whether the units must be compatible with an existing headend or uplink, nor name it.
• No warranty, commissioning or spares requirement is stated for 50 units.
• The title says "ENCODING EQUIPMENT" while the description and line item say receiver decoders, which decode rather than encode.
