Zvimba Rural District Council wants 422 Class 40D concrete culvert pipes — 270 at 450mm, 120 at 600mm and 32 at 750mm — plus 1 300 cubic metres of 19mm quarry stone. Bids close 2 November 2026 at 16:00 CAT.

Zvimba Rural District Council is buying culvert pipes and quarry stone, delivered to Zvimba RDC over one year on Regular Agency Fund. The culverts are 270 at 450mm, 120 at 600mm and 32 at 750mm, all specified as Class 40D — 422 pipes in total. The stone is 1 300 cubic metres of 19mm quarry. This is one of the better-specified materials notices on the board: the pipe class is given, which is the figure that determines the load rating, and the stone is quantified in cubic metres rather than a vague unit. The scale is substantial — 422 concrete pipes and 1 300 cubic metres of stone is a major haulage programme, which the one-year delivery period presumably reflects, though no phasing is described. Delivery is to the council rather than to the roads where the culverts will be laid. The full tender document was not available to us, so download it from the source.

Low 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.

• No tender document fee — the bid form fee is listed as 0
• Bids must stay valid for 60 days

• No pipe length is stated per culvert unit, so the total linear metres cannot be worked out from the notice
• Delivery is to Zvimba RDC rather than to the road sites, so onward haulage may fall outside this order
• No phasing is described over the one-year period, although 422 pipes and 1 300 cubic metres cannot arrive at once
• Quoting concrete and stone prices held for a year carries real cost exposure
