Mberengwa Rural District Council wants 11 community boreholes sited, drilled and cased to 40 metres across various sites in the district with rates for extra metres and double casing. Bids close 7 September 2026 at 09:00 CAT.

Community borehole drilling for Mberengwa Rural District Council at various sites within the district. Four lines: 11 boreholes drilled and cased to 40 metres, 11 borehole surveys and sitings, a per-metre rate for drilling beyond 40 metres, and a line for double casing — so the last two are rates rather than fixed quantities. The notice says detailed specifications are attached, which are not published here. The delivery period is recorded as 7 days, funded from internally generated funds, quotations valid 30 days.

• The delivery period is recorded as 7 days for 11 boreholes across various sites in a large rural district, which is not a credible programme — confirm it from the RFQ.
• The sites are not named, so travel between them and the ground conditions cannot be estimated.
• The extra-metres and double-casing lines are rates with no quantity, so the total contract value depends on what is actually encountered.
• The notice does not say who carries the risk if a hole is dry.
• It states no ZINWA drilling permit, grading or insurance requirement.
• The lines are filed under casing cutters, casing guns and survey systems rather than drilling services.
