Update For The Design And Build Contract For Multinational Tanzania – Burundi – DRC Congo SGR Project Phase I

Request for Proposals is expected to be issued in May 2023.

The Governments of Tanzania and Burundi have applied for financing from the African Development Bank for the Construction of the Tanzania/Burundi (Uvinza – Musongati – Gitega) SGR Section, which is Phase I of the Multinational Tanzania – Burundi – DRC Congo SGR Project. The Tanzania Railways Corporation (TRC) has been appointed as the Implementing Agency for the project.

The works for which this Invitation for Initial Selection applies are the Design and Construction of Works for an Electrified Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) under Design and Build Arrangement. The scope of works will be the design and construction of about 282 KM of an electrified Standard Gauge Railway line from Uvinza in Tanzania (off the Tabora – Kigoma SGR line), across the international border along Malagarasi river to Musongati and onwards to Gitega (both in Burundi).

The project will be implemented for a period of five (5) years, and the Request for Proposals is expected to be made in May 2023. TRC is looking to engage a single Works Contractor (and a single supervising consultant) for the whole project. However, for purposes of administration, the project is divided into two (2) Lots:

  • Lot 1 consists of the 156 KM Tanzania section to be implemented in one package, and
  • Lot 2 consists of the 126 KM Burundi section to be implemented in two packages.

The interested contractors must provide information indicating that they are qualified to perform the works in terms of experience in detailed design, construction, and financial capacity. The minimum requirements for each category are specified in the Invitation for Initial Selection. Please click here for the latest project notification:
