NOIC/RL/PMC/159/2026

National Oil Infrastructure Company wants 400 metres of 2m-high diamond mesh fence and its poles painted silver at its Mabvuku depot caverns, within 30 days. Bids close 22 September 2026 at 10:00 CAT.

Painting of the diamond mesh fence around the caverns at the NOIC Mabvuku depot, Lot 8A Ventersburg Farm off Mutare Road, Harare. The notice gives the dimensions: 400 metres of fence at 2 metres high, including its poles — so around 800 square metres of mesh face, doubled if both sides are painted. Silver paint is specified, with a second line saying this is "to be decided on site visit". This is filed as works, over 30 days, funded from a Regular Agency Fund, quotations valid 30 days. The full tender document was not available to us — download it from the source, and ask about the site visit.

Moderate effort to bid.

• The notice refers to a site visit at which the paint decision is to be made, but gives no date, time or contact — arrange one with NOIC before quoting.
• It does not say whether both sides of the mesh are painted, which doubles the area.
• Painting diamond mesh is far slower per square metre than a flat wall, and no method is specified — spray, brush or roller changes the labour substantially.
• No surface preparation requirement is stated, and an existing fence may need wire brushing or rust treatment first.
• This is a fuel depot cavern area, so hot work and access permits are likely to apply; nothing about that is in the notice.
