Zimbabwe School of Mines wants a year of fire equipment servicing — 114 extinguishers across six types, 15 hose reels, three fire alarms, three intruder alarms and 18 DCP refills. Bids close 2 October 2026 at 23:00 CAT.

The Zimbabwe School of Mines is putting its fire equipment servicing out for a year. The delivery period on the notice is one year, so this is a maintenance arrangement rather than a single visit. The extinguisher fleet is 52 nine-kilogram DCP, 34 nine-litre water, four nine-litre foam, nine five-kilogram carbon dioxide, five 4.5-kilogram DCP and ten 2.27-kilogram carbon dioxide units — 114 in all. On top of that, 15 fire hose reels, three fire alarms and three intruder alarms are to be inspected, maintained and repaired, and 18 extinguishers are to be refilled: 12 of the nine-kilogram DCP and six of the 4.5-kilogram DCP. The description and the line items agree throughout, which is unusual and useful here.
