Expert investors will need this crucial information for investment purposes because tenders means big bucks. This is the vehicle through which hundreds of millions of dollars from the Government, Parastatals and NGOs spend their monies. An analysis of the NGO sector can show the areas where they are spending money on, an analysis of schools in Zimbabwe shows that over US$5 Billion was spend on bus purchases over the past 3 years! So someone with a company that manufactures or procures buses should be one of the happiest people in Zimbabwe. Universities have been active on the tender market procuring IT equipment and related accessories.
Diaspora Connection
The initiative from ZBIN is that the Diaspora community should follow tenders in Zimbabwe. You should tenders so that you can set up your own companies and benefit from the tenders. A look at most of the tenders shows that they are for procuring goods that are not manufactured in Zimbabwe. In short they are for the importation of goods from other countries such as South Africa, Japan, China, UK and USA. A diaspora with access to loans or credit facilities should partner with locals and participate in the tender business.
