BULAWAYO City Council (BCC) is seeking bidders for waste management following advice from the Zimbabwe Investment and Development Agency (Zida) and the Procurement Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (Praz).

This was after the two bodies urged the city to invite representatives from Geo Pomona (Pvt) Ltd to an engagement meeting to understand the operations of the company.

The Geo Pomona representatives were asked to present the city’s waste management activities and make recommendations to council on the appropriate way forward regarding waste management strategies.

BCC’s latest minutes on solid waste management in urban centres state that health services director Edwin Sibanda reported last month that town clerk Christopher Dube received a letter from the Local Government and Public Works ministry on June 6 regarding the need for proper waste management systems. “Following receipt of the ministerial letter, the City of Bulawayo invited representatives from Geo Pomona (Pvt) Ltd to an engagement meeting to understand the operations of the company, present the city’s waste management activities and make recommendations to council on the appropriate way forward regarding waste management strategies,” the minutes read. “The meeting was advised that the City of Bulawayo had started the process of reviewing previously submitted expressions of interest before receipt of the letter of June 6, 2025. “The City of Bulawayo negotiating committee had assessed the 11 expressions of interests (EoIs) and had made a recommendation to submit three to Zida. ”. 🔗
