Minerals Marketing Corporation wants granite worktops designed and installed — one for the Gemstone Laboratory and one for a spark analyser in Metallurgy — plus a fabricated gas cage and gas reticulation pipes at Msasa. Bids close 9 September 2026 at 11:00 CAT.

Laboratory bench and gas installation work for the Minerals Marketing Corporation of Zimbabwe at 90 Mutare Road, Msasa, and its Metallurgical Laboratory. Three lines: design and install a granite counter top for the Gemstone Laboratory; a granite counter top for the spark analyser machine in the Department of Metallurgy Laboratory; and design and fabricate a gas cage with gas reticulation pipes installed at the Metallurgy Laboratory. The period is 6 months, funded from a Regular Agency Fund, quotations valid 30 days. The full tender document was not available to us — download the RFQ from the source before quoting, since no dimensions are given for any of the three.

• No dimensions, thickness or finish are given for either granite counter top, and granite is priced by the square metre.
• A spark OES analyser needs a bench able to carry its weight and to sit level and vibration-free; nothing about load or levelling tolerance is stated.
• The gas cage and reticulation line covers design, fabrication and installation of a gas system with no gas type, cylinder count, pipe run or pressure specified — and gas reticulation in a laboratory usually carries safety standards the notice does not name.
• The three lines span stonework and gas engineering, which few single suppliers cover.
• A site visit would settle all three and none is mentioned.
