CMED is re-tendering a three-year tools and hardware framework — over 100 unit-rate lines covering plumbing fittings, copper and PVC pipe, a 3HP submersible pump, water tanks, a solar geyser, bricks and sand. Bids close 9 October 2026 at 23:00 CAT.
A three-year framework for tools and hardware for the Central Mechanical and Equipment Department at head office. The reference is marked REETENDER.
The plumbing runs deep: toilet pans, seats, pan connectors, 110mm PVC pipe with elbows, tees, quarter bends, vent valves and gulley traps; 15mm and 20mm copper pipe with elbows, couplings and copper-to-iron adaptors; 20mm and 15mm garden and chrome-plated taps; bath mixers, gate valves, stop cocks, flexible connectors and ball cocks; GMS pipe, sockets, elbows, tees and reducers; and PVC pipe in 20, 32, 40, 50 and 63mm.
The larger items: a 3HP submersible pump with a 230Vac control box, a 150mm solar geyser, and 10,000 and 5,000 litre water tanks. Plus drain rods, soldering wire, flux, solvent cement and a gas canister.
The building lines cover rustic common bricks and pit and river sand in 10-cubic loads. The published list is truncated with 47 further lines. Every line is quantity 1 — a rate card. Bid validity is 60 days. The full tender document was not available to us — only the notice fields above were published where we can read them. Download it from the eGP portal before quoting.

Watch out for
Every line is quantity 1, so this is a unit-rate framework and the volumes behind it are not published.
The published schedule is truncated with 47 further lines not shown.
15mm copper pipe appears twice and one line has no description at all.
'Garden tape' and 'gait valve' appear throughout — read them as garden tap and gate valve.
Your rates are exposed for three years.
