Construction of a 1 × 3 Classroom Block at Ngweze Secondary School, Sesheke

EntitySesheke Town Council Deadline04 Jun 2026 · 10:00 ReservationSesheke-domiciled bidders only

● Skip 0/10

Standard 3-classroom block, ~220 m². Civil works with minor electrical fit-out. Estimated tender envelope K 2.9 M – K 4.2 M. Reserved for Sesheke-domiciled bidders.

Why we're skipping

The procuring entity has reserved this tender for bidders domiciled in Sesheke. Astanah is registered in Lusaka.
Scope is general civil construction without any energy component — outside your differentiated capability stack.

If you still want in

Form a JV with a Sesheke-domiciled contractor (we can shortlist 4 known contractors with NCC Grade 4–5 in Western Province).
Or register a Sesheke branch of Astanah Store Ltd via PACRA — practical only if you expect more Sesheke tender flow.

Construction of 100 × 2-Bedroom Houses, North-Western Province

EntityMinistry of Infrastructure, Housing & Urban Development Lots2 (Kasempa+Zambezi · Kalumbila+Ikelenge) Deadline26 May 2026 · 10:00 Submissione-GP electronic

● Explore 5/10

Large residential build — 100 low-cost houses across two lots. Tender accepts NCC grades G2–G5 + A/B (any of these). Astanah doesn't currently hold NCC registration; pursuing this tender means either a JV or fast-tracking NCC entry-level grade.

Why explore (not skip)

NCC grade band is unusually wide (G2 through B) — you wouldn't need a top-tier grade to qualify.
Scale enables JV economics. A 50-house lot @ K 350 K each = K 17.5 M; healthy margin for a JV split.
You qualify on every other axis: ZRA, NAPSA, Workers' Comp, audited accounts, citizen-owned.

What it would take

Path A (JV): Pair with a NCC-registered builder. Fastest. We can suggest 3 partners by end of week.
Path B (own grade): Apply for NCC Grade 5 (smallest tier). 6–10 weeks. Misses this deadline but unlocks future tenders.

Specialty agro-chemical feedstock for D-Compound fertiliser production. Outside Astanah's solar / battery / energy stack. No path to fit.

Why we're skipping

Procurement category is goods — supply of a specialised industrial chemical. No civil, no electrical, no energy.
You are not an importer or distributor of agro-chemicals. Building this capability for one tender is not commercial.
