Tembo Nickel Corporation Limited has opened a new round of procurement under the Kabanga Nickel Project, inviting companies to submit Expressions of Interest (EOI) for a series of specialised supply and construction packages as development gathers pace.
The EOI, issued on April 27, 2026, signals continued progress on the multi-billion-dollar նախագ in Ngara District, Kagera Region, widely recognised as one of the world’s largest undeveloped high-grade nickel sulphide deposits.
The deadline for submissions has been set for May 6, 2026, at 17:00 East Africa Time.
The Kabanga project is being implemented through a joint venture between Kabanga Nickel, which holds an 84 per cent stake, and the Government of Tanzania with 16 per cent.
The project targets the extraction and processing of nickel, copper and cobalt minerals that are increasingly critical in clean energy technologies, including electric vehicle batteries.
The latest call covers a broad range of technical packages essential to mine development and processing infrastructure.
These include the supply of HDPE liners, electrical mini-substations, high-voltage switchgear and medium-voltage transformers.
Other packages focus on early-stage installation works involving electrical, control and instrumentation (EC&I), alongside advanced mineral processing systems such as flotation and mill control systems.
Opportunities are also available in the supply of a concrete batch plant, mining air compressors and a waste rock crushing plant.
Industry observers say the scope of the packages reflects the project’s transition from planning to implementation, opening doors for both local and international firms to participate in one of Tanzania’s most strategic mining investments.
Tembo Nickel has directed interested firms to obtain detailed requirements through its official website under the “Opportunities” section, specifically within the Expressions of Interest category.
Applicants are required to clearly indicate the package reference number in the subject line of their submission emails.
The company has also stressed that firms applying for multiple packages must submit separate emails for each application to ensure proper processing.
The Kabanga Nickel Project is expected to significantly boost Tanzania’s mining output, support industrialisation and position the country as a key player in the global supply of critical minerals.
