The Ministry of Local Government wants ceiling materials for Bulawayo Polytechnic — 100 plaster boards and 12kg of 3 and 4 inch nails — delivered in 30 days. Bids close 2 October 2026 at 00:00 CAT.

The Ministry of Local Government and Public Works is buying ceiling materials for Bulawayo Polytechnic College: 100 plaster boards and 12kg of nails in 3 inch and 4 inch sizes. Despite being classed as works, the requirement as published is a supply of materials in two lines — no installation is described. It is run as competitive bidding, funded from the Treasury regular budget allocation, with a stated delivery period of 30 days and bids valid for 30 days. The delivery location is given only as "PHQ" rather than the college, so where the materials actually go is not settled by the notice. The full tender document was not available where we read this. Download it from the source before bidding — for a works-class tender, the document is where any installation scope and bidding conditions would sit.

Low 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 works tenders more often carry one.

• The tender is classed as works but lists only materials, so confirm whether ceiling installation is part of the scope before pricing it as a supply.
• No board size, thickness or type is given for the 100 plaster boards, and the nails are split across two sizes with only a combined 12kg weight.
• Delivery is stated as "PHQ", not Bulawayo Polytechnic — a difference that could cross the country.
