Public Service Commission wants a new dual-powered (electric and solar) borehole at its Chinhoyi training centre — siting, drilling, casing, installation and reticulation — plus a booster pump and 2 × 10 000L tanks on 10m stands. Bids close 3 September 2026 at 11:00 CAT.

A new borehole at the Public Service Training Centre in Chinhoyi, powered both from mains electricity and from solar. The scope covers siting, drilling, casing, installation and reticulation. Alongside it: one booster pump, two 10 000 litre water tanks supplied and fitted, and two tank stands at 10 metres in height. This is filed as works, to be completed within 30 days, funded from the GoZ Treasury regular budget allocation, with quotations valid for 30 days. The full tender document was not available to us — the above is from the published notice. Download the RFQ from the source before quoting, because no depth, yield, pump size or solar array rating is given and those decide the price.

High effort to bid.

Written from the published notice — the full tender document was not available to us. Download it from the source before bidding: eligibility rules, fees and specifications may only appear there.

• No target depth, casing specification or expected yield is given, and the notice does not say who carries the risk if the hole is dry.
• The dual electric-and-solar requirement means both a mains connection and a solar array with its own controls, but no array rating, inverter size or battery requirement is stated.
• Two tank stands at 10 metres are a structural item needing foundations and, in most cases, engineering sign-off — nothing about that is in the notice.
• The booster pump line carries no description at all, only a quantity of one.
• The notice states no grading, insurance, drilling permit or experience requirement, which for works of this size will normally be in the document.
