Deposit Protection Corporation wants toners and stationery — 52 reams of bond paper, 17 HP toner cartridges across six types, pens, files, staplers, punches and flash drives — delivered to Borrowdale in 5 days. Bids close 3 September 2026 at 11:00 CAT.

A combined toner and stationery order for the Deposit Protection Corporation, delivered to Borrowdale, Harare within 5 days. The stationery side covers 50 reams of 80gsm bond paper and 2 reams of green A4, 50 flat files, 20 HB pencils with erasers, 20 spiral shorthand notebooks, 15 permanent bullet markers, 10 staplers, 10 heavy-duty two-hole punches and 15 8GB flash memory cards. The toner side is 17 HP cartridges across six lines: HP 89A, HP 230A yellow, HP 230A black, HP 207A (W2212), HP 410CF black and HP 131A CF black. The full tender document was not available to us. Download the RFQ from the source before quoting — and read the toner lines carefully, because the catalogue names and the written descriptions do not agree.

• On five of the six toner lines the catalogue name contradicts the written description — for example a line catalogued "TONER CART, HP CB540A, Black" is described as "HP 230A Yellow", and "HP CE255A, Black" is described as "HP 230A Black". Quoting from the catalogue name rather than the description would supply the wrong cartridges.
• One marker line is catalogued as black and described as blue, the same contradiction in miniature.
• The 207A line gives a partial part number, W2212, without the final letter that fixes the yield.
• One flat-file line carries no description at all, only a quantity of 50.
• The notice does not say whether original HP or compatible cartridges are acceptable.
