Municipality of Kariba is setting up a 3-year framework for repairing water pumps and electric motors — Lot 1 covers 17 KSB, Gorman-Rupp, Ebara and Mono pumps, Lot 2 covers 18 motors from 7.5kW to 200kW. Bids close 18 September 2026 at 14:00 CAT.

A framework agreement with call-off contracts for repairing and maintaining Kariba's water pumps and electric motors, running for 3 years. Lot 1 is the pump fleet — mostly KSB (ETA 150-250, WKLN 150/3, ETANORM 150-125-400 and 100-080-250, WKLN 100/5 and 100/4, MTCD 100/5, KWPE 125-500, OMEGA 200-420 pontoon pump, KRTK 100-400 submersible), plus Gorman-Rupp T6A3-B self-priming centrifugals, a Cochrane CEN 100315 HCA, Mono BH50 D60 units and an Ebara EVMSG 10 15F5. Lot 2 is electric motors, 7.5kW to 200kW, largely 4-pole WEG (11, 30, 37, 45, 55, 75, 90 and 132kW), with 2-pole CMG at 160kW and 200kW, Siemens 132kW 2-pole, Relmo units and KSB 37kW and 45kW submersibles. This runs under the Competitive Bidding Method with 60-day bid validity. The full tender document was not available to us — only the notice fields above were published. Download it from eGP: on a framework the rate structure, call-off mechanism and how the listed quantities behave over three years are the whole commercial question.

High 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.

• Listed on eGP under the supplier categories "Water And Sewer Engineering and Utilities" and "Installation, Repair & Maintenance of Electrical Equipment, Generators, Power Back-Up Equipment & Miscellaneous Electrical Repair Works". The notice states no other eligibility requirement.

• Bid form fee listed as 0 on the notice — no charge shown for the bid form.

• The quantities on a framework are indicative, not an order. You are bidding rates that hold for 3 years against call-offs that may never come.
• The equipment list is brand and model specific across KSB, WEG, Gorman-Rupp, Siemens, CMG, Relmo, Mono, Ebara and Cochrane — parts access for that spread is the real qualifier.
• Work is in Kariba, roughly 365km from Harare, and large motors and pumps have to travel if the repair is not done on site. The notice does not say which.
• 60-day bid validity on rates you then hold for three years — check the tender document for any price adjustment mechanism.
• Repair scope is undefined: rewinds, bearings, impellers and mechanical seals are all different jobs and the notice separates none of them.
