The Roads Authority (RA) IS inviting bids from eligible contractors for the rehabilitation of the Golomoti-Monkey bay/ Makata- turnoff (M10) road, a key route expected to improve transport efficiency in central and southern Malawi.
The project is being funded by the Government of Malawi through the Roads Fund Administration with procurement conducted under international competitive bidding procedures.
According to the notice, the works will involve rehabilitation of existing road to improve driving conditions and safety.
The project has been divided into two lots: Lot 1 covers the Golomoti Turn-off to Chamtulo stretch (30km), while Lot 2 runs from Chamtulo to Golomoti (28.4km). In total, the road section measures approximately 58.4 kilometers. The Roads Authority says the upgrade will follow standard specifications to ensure durability and long-term performance.
Bidding is open to qualified contractors registered with the National Construction Industry Council in the Unlimited Civil Engineering category. Interested bidders are required to submit separate bids for each lot, along with proof of financial, technical, and equipment capacity. The tender allows companies to apply for one or both lots, provided they meet the necessary requirements. A complete set of bidding documents can be obtained from the Roads Authority upon payment of non-refundable fee K50,000, and bidders must also provide a bid security as specified in the tender.
The Roads Authority has outlined key timelines for the process, including deadlines for submission and opening of bids at its head office in Lilongwe. Clarifications can be requested within stipulated period, while site visits may be arranged to help bidders better understand the project conditions.
The deadline for submission of bids is April 1.

Rehabilitation:
The establishment of a stable and self-sustaining ecosystem, but not necessarily the one that existed before mining began. In many cases, complete restoration may be impossible, but successful remediation, reclamation, and rehabilitation can result in the timely establishment of a functional ecosystem.

Remediation:
The cleanup of the contaminated area to safe levels by removing or isolating contaminants. At mine sites, remediation often consists of isolating contaminated material in pre-existing tailings storage facilities, capping tailings and waste rock stockpiles with clean topsoil, and collecting and treating any contaminated mine water if necessary.
