Sotta Mining Corporation Limited has invited qualified firms to submit Expressions of Interest (EOIs) for the supply of Flexco parts and consumables for the Nyanzaga Gold Project, signalling progress in the development of one of Tanzania’s major upcoming gold investments.
The company said the procurement process forms part of preparations for the construction and operation of a gold processing plant and related infrastructure at the project site in the Mwanza Region.
Located in Sengerema District, about 60 kilometres southwest of Mwanza city, the project sits within the mineral-rich Lake Victoria Goldfields.
Sotta, a joint venture majority-owned by Perseus Mining Limited in partnership with the Government of Tanzania, is overseeing the project’s development, which is expected to boost gold output and stimulate economic activity.
In the notice, the company stated that it is seeking authorised suppliers capable of delivering original Flexco-branded parts and consumables used in plant maintenance.
The successful bidder will be responsible for ensuring reliable availability of materials, maintaining adequate stock levels, and managing the full supply chain, including delivery to Dar es Salaam.
Sotta indicated that eligibility will depend on several factors, including proven experience in the mining sector, the ability to sustain long-term technical and commercial relationships, and compliance with local content requirements.
Preference will be given to Tanzanian-owned companies or firms demonstrating strong participation of local stakeholders, in line with regulations overseen by the Mining Commission.
Applicants are required to submit comprehensive documentation, including company profiles, ownership structures, evidence of similar assignments undertaken within the past decade, and details of ongoing projects.
Additional requirements include financial statements, health, safety and environmental records, and information on key personnel and operational capacity.
Firms must also demonstrate the ability to engage local community labour during project implementation, a move aimed at enhancing local economic participation.
Interested companies have been instructed to submit their EOIs electronically, quoting reference number EOI/NGP/OPS/033. A concise summary outlining key qualifications is also required as part of the submission.
The deadline for applications is April 23, 2026, with evaluation to be based on technical capability, relevant experience and commercial competitiveness.
The Nyanzaga Gold Project is expected to play a significant role in strengthening Tanzania’s mining sector through increased production, job creation and expanded supply chain opportunities.
