E208M TURNOVER REQUIREMENT FOR LONA PROJECT

MBABANE – The specifications for the Lomahasha-Namaacha (LoNa) crossborder water supply project tender pre-qualification are now known.

Pre-qualification is the stage of the tender process where a number of organisations are pre-selected and subsequently asked to submit a tender. A pre-qualification questionnaire can be used by a client to produce a shortlist of contractors who are likely to be most appropriate for their particular project. Shortlisted contractors may then be invited to tender for the contract. Eswatini Water Services Corporation (EWSC) the employer acting on behalf of the National Directorate for Water Supply and Sanitation (DNAAS) requires suitably qualified and experienced contractors to prequalify for the construction of Lomahasha-Namaacha Crossborder water supply project (Lots One and Two) in Eswatini and Mozambique.
