ZBC wants broadcasting equipment for its news studio and Jive TV, published as 25 computers delivered to Pockets Hill. Bids close 7 October 2026 at 10:00 CAT.

The Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation is equipping its news studio and Jive TV. The title and description say broadcasting equipment, but the only line item published is 25 computers, with no specification attached to them. Delivery is to ZBC Pockets Hill against a stated period of one year, run as competitive bidding and funded from ZBC's internal budget. Bids stay valid for 60 days. What the 25 machines have to do — editing, playout, graphics, newsroom workstations — is not stated, and for studio work that is the difference between an office desktop and a workstation costing several times as much. The full tender document was not available where we read this. Anyone considering this should download it from the source; the published fields are not enough to price it.

Moderate 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.

• Bid form fee is listed as 0. Nothing published mentions a document fee or bid security, though the full document was not available to confirm and competitive bidding more often carries one.

• The notice is titled broadcasting equipment for a news studio but lists only 25 computers, so the published scope and the stated purpose do not match. Establish which governs before bidding.
• No specification of any kind is given for the 25 machines — no processor, memory, storage, graphics or software.
• The delivery period is one year while bids stay valid for 60 days, so confirm the delivery schedule and how pricing holds across it.
• It is filed under a computers and office equipment maintenance supplier category rather than a broadcast one.
