• The delivery period is recorded as 3 days for four boreholes drilled to at least 80 metres, which is a very short programme — confirm it from the RFQ before pricing.
• The notice does not say whether payment depends on striking water, which is the single biggest variable in a drilling contract.
• No sites are named beyond "Marondera", so the ground conditions and the distance between the four holes are unknown.
• The notice says nothing about equipping the boreholes — pumps, headworks or reticulation — so the scope appears to end at a cased hole.
• It states no ZINWA drilling permit, grading or insurance requirement, which for borehole works will normally be in the document.
