This comes amid concern over the deplorable state of most government structures across the country as they have not been maintained in many years.

Prospective bidders have up to May 7 to submit their documentation and site visits are open from today up to April 28.

“At the request of the JSC, the Legal Resource Foundation is inviting building and construction companies to submit their bids for construction of a court building . . .” part of the bid notice reads.

The court buildings are earmarked for Nkayi, Binga, Victoria Falls (Matabeleland North), Beitbridge (Matabeleland South), Bikita, Chivi, Mwenezi (Masvingo), Zvishavane, Kwekwe (the Midlands), Kariba, Kadoma (Mashonaland West), Centenary (Mashonaland Central), Nyanga, Murambinda (Manicaland) and in Goromonzi (Mashonaland East).

Under ZimAsset’s infrastructure and utilities cluster section, for the country’s economy to register growth in a manner that is both competitive and effective, there is need for the country to undertake work in critical areas such as the development of a robust, elaborate and resilient infrastructure.

“The infrastructure cluster is focused on the rehabilitation of infrastructural assets and the recovery of utility services in Zimbabwe.

“These services relate to water and sanitation infrastructure, public amenities, information communication technology, energy and power supply and transport (road, rail, marine and air)”.
