The City of Bulawayo is buying materials for the rehabilitation of Entumbane Hall, funded from a foreign grants account. The ceiling and partition work dominates: 65 Nu-tech boards at 3m × 1220mm × 6mm, 180 brandering lengths at 6m × 38 × 38mm, 55 cover strips at 6m × 40mm and 15 cornice lengths at 6m × 75mm. The joinery is 3 exterior flush doors at 2030 × 810 × 45mm, 6 double doors at 2015 × 1610 × 45mm complete with 3-lever mortice locks, 1 single steel door at 2010 × 819 × 45mm with a lock, 3 single steel door frames complete with steel doors, 1 double steel door frame with fan light at 2600 × 2800 × 230mm complete with doors, and 15 spare 3-lever mortice locks in blister packs. The fixings and finishing are 40kg of wire nails across 100mm, 75mm and 50mm, 20kg of drywall screws in 24mm and 18mm, 8kg of round head steel nails, 200 M8 × 50mm bolts and nuts, 5kg of 2.5mm Vitemax mild steel welding rods, 7 cutting discs, 5 table tops at 1830 × 910 × 19mm, 6 litres of wood glue, 20 litres of white gloss enamel and 2 litres of red steel primer. There are also 2 × 3m Trafford tiles listed as asbestos. Delivery is to Khami Road Main Stores within 7 days, with quotations valid for 30 days.

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.

• No tender document fee — the notice lists the bid form fee as 0.

• Two line items are specified as 3m Trafford tile asbestos. Supply and handling of asbestos products is regulated in Zimbabwe, so confirm with the city what is actually required and what documentation it expects before you offer anything against those lines.
• The door schedule mixes timber flush doors, steel doors and doors supplied complete with frames and locks; read each line separately, because several are complete assemblies rather than loose leaves.
• The double steel door frame is given as 2600 × 2800 × 230mm, which is wider than it is tall — confirm the dimensions and their order before fabricating.
• This is a 26-line materials supply on a 7-day window to one stores location; part-supply is likely to be marked down, so check you can cover the whole list.
• The quantity of 2 against the Trafford tiles is very small next to 65 ceiling boards, which suggests patching rather than a full re-roof.
