Supply and Installation of Switchboard and telephone equipment
Forestry Commission wants a modern switchboard and PABX supplied and installed at its Highlands head office, using internet and VOIP direct lines. Bids close 30 October 2026 at 11:00 CAT.
The Forestry Commission is buying the supply and installation of a modern switchboard and PABX internal telephone system, using internet and VOIP direct lines, at 1 Orange Grove Drive, Highlands, Harare, over one year on internally generated funds. The technology direction is clear — this is a move to a VOIP-based system rather than a traditional analogue exchange. Everything that sizes it is missing. There is no extension count, no handset count or type, no indication of whether existing cabling can be reused, no concurrent call capacity, no requirement for call recording, voicemail or auto-attendant, and nothing on internet bandwidth available at the site — which for a VOIP system determines whether it will work at all. The whole requirement is one lump sum line, so a bidder is pricing a telephony project with no station count. The full tender document was not available to us, so download it from the source.
