TENDER#PR27/ZRCS/LCLZ/TS/2024

The Zambia Red Cross Society is a leading provider of training in First Aid and other skills for commercial and humanitarian purposes. These training courses are carried out as part of the institution’s income generation initiatives.

Pursuant to this, the National Society has resolved to build a medium standalone multi-purpose training and conferencing facility in one of the most central areas of Lusaka. The facility is meant to increase the institution’s training capacity and meet the organization’s other resource mobilization requirements. The property will also be utilized for other conferencing events on commercial or hire out basis.

Having already procured land for the same, acquired the necessary ownership documentation, and identified the contractor for the works, the Society now seeks to engage the services of a technical supervisor to manage the progress of the project and ensure that the building is compliant to all legal and ZRCS internal requirements.
