Zimbabwe Power Company wants hydrojetting of the Unit 1 and Unit 2 basement drains at Hwange, specified as 30 hours of work. Bids close 2 October 2026 at 17:00 CAT.

Zimbabwe Power Company is having the basement drains for Units 1 and 2 at Hwange hydrojetted. The requirement is published as a single work item of 30 hours, with a 15-day delivery period on internally generated funds. Thirty hours is the only measure given. There is no drain length, no pipe diameter, no blockage description and no pressure or flow specification, so a bidder is pricing crew and equipment time rather than a defined scope. The full tender document was not available to us — only the published listing fields. Download it from the source before bidding; access arrangements and the drain schedule are not in the notice.

Moderate effort to bid.

• The line item is coded as transport planning, which does not describe hydrojetting
• Classed as a consultancy although the work is physical drain cleaning
