Overview
Blovetac Construction (Pvt) Ltd has been given a major infrastructure contract by Chivi Rural District Council to install new streetlights and surface roads at Chivi Growth Point. The award, which was announced on November 1, 2025, represents yet another substantial investment in enhancing Masvingo Province's urban infrastructure.
Overview of the Contract
In compliance with the Zimbabwe PPDPA Act Rules, the contract, valued at US$294,109, was submitted through competitive bidding. The project, which falls under the category of non-complex works, entails the supply and installation of streetlighting infrastructure as well as thorough road surfacing. Chivi Growth Point, a quickly expanding commercial centre in Masvingo, is the delivery location. The 45-day contract duration indicates an expedited implementation timeline.
Funding and Procurement Organisation
The Masvingo-based Chivi Rural District Council is the project's commissioner. The government's ongoing emphasis on community-focused development is demonstrated by the funding provided through the Special Account – Locally Funded/Domestic Grants Fund.
The winning bidder
Blovetac Construction (Pvt) Ltd, a civil works firm with headquarters in Harare at 55 St Patricks Road in Hatfield, was given the contract. Under the direction of Managing Director Phillip Chivhima, the company specialises in building materials supply, road construction, and the development of municipal infrastructure. The supplier satisfied the necessary technical and financial requirements, as evidenced by the award being finalised "as per SPOC resolution".
Work Scope
The scope of UNSPSC Code 30121700 comprises:
-
Work on road surfacing
-
Purchasing and setting up streetlights
-
Availability of relevant building supplies
It is anticipated that this upgrade will facilitate nighttime commerce at Chivi Growth Point, improve traffic flow, and increase safety.
Importance and Effect
Zimbabwe's continuous efforts to modernise small-town infrastructure are in line with the awarded tender. Improved roads and lighting are expected to increase local business activity, fortify transportation connections, and improve security for locals and vendors in Chivi. During the construction phase, short-term job creation is also anticipated.
In conclusion
Residents can expect noticeable improvements before the end of the year, as work is anticipated to proceed quickly due to the 45-day timeline. The initiative supports the government's overarching plan to upgrade public infrastructure and revitalise rural service centres. As implementation milestones are met, more updates are probably in store.
