First coal to liquid project attracts 11 bidders

According to BOL’s government and stakeholder relations manager, Matida Mmipi submissions for the tender will be evaluated and if a suitable bidder is identified, they will enter into contract to develop the coal to liquids plant.

It is anticipated that, to ensure increased chances of developing the project, at least one tenderer will be engaged. Mmipi said following the close of the tender on August 24, 2017, the evaluation process should take approximately two months to complete. “This would then be followed by negotiations and contracts signing,” she said.
