Zambia is currently experiencing prolonged dry spell and drought ever felt for more than forty years. The country is still recovering from a cholera outbreak which began in October 2023 and reported over 21,000 cases due to decreased access to water, which led to outbreaks of diarrheal diseases as well as other vector-borne diseases.  The Zambia Red Cross Society (ZRCS) wishes to support the rehabilitation of water systems in Habitants Market and Kantolomba Market in Ndola District, Copperbelt Province and Itimpi Health Post, Ipusukilo Health Center, and Kamitondo Clinic in Kitwe District, Copperbelt Province.

Bidders must strictly adhere to all the requirements of this RFP. No changes, substitutions or other alterations to the rules and provisions stipulated in this RFP may be made or assumed unless it is instructed or approved in writing by the ZRCS in the form of supplemental information to the RFP. Any Bid submitted will be regarded as an offer by the bidder and does not constitute or imply the acceptance of any bid by the ZRCS.
