Chikomba Rural District Council is buying everything needed to put two boreholes on solar. The pumping and storage side is 2 submersible 2HP pumps, 2 tank stands, 2 x 500-litre tanks, 2 borehole plates, 100 metres of poly pipe, 100 metres of safety rope, and a run of 32mm and 40mm PVC fittings — elbows, union sockets, control valves, reducers and adapters. The solar side is 8 x 450-watt panels, 2 solar stands, 2 inverters, 2 control boxes and metre boxes, 2 protection sensors, 120 metres of 4-core electrical cable, 60 cable ties and 2 joining kits. The notice publishes its conditions in full: quotations by email before closing, prices in USD, payment strictly in USD after delivery, bid validity of at least 30 days after the closing date, a stated delivery period, proof of PRAZ registration in the relevant category, CR14/CR6 list of directors, and consent to provide a fiscalised tax invoice. Past performance will be considered in evaluation. Delivery is to Chikomba RDC with a delivery period of 3 days. The full tender document was not available where we read this, so the detail above comes from the published notice alone. Download the document from the eGP portal before quoting.

Moderate effort to bid.

Written from the published notice — the full tender document was not available to us. Download it from the source before bidding: eligibility rules, fees and specifications may only appear there.

• Valid proof of PRAZ registration in the relevant category
• CR14/CR6 (list of directors) must be attached
• Must consent to providing a fiscalised tax invoice
• Past performance is considered during evaluation

• No tender document fee — the notice lists the bid form fee as 0
• Prices must be quoted in USD; payment is made in USD strictly after delivery
• Bid validity of at least 30 days after the closing date

• Payment is strictly after delivery — the bidder carries the full cost of a two-borehole solar system until then
• The pipe schedule is internally inconsistent: 32mm and 40mm fittings sit alongside "400mm poly pipe", "400 non return valve" and "400mm poly male adapter", which look like 40mm
• A 3-day delivery period for a 25-line solar and pumping package is very short
• No installation scope is published — the list reads as supply only, but "purchase of solar system" could imply commissioning
