Huge interest in tenders to supply Cape Town with more water

Companies have expressed a resounding interest in the City of Cape Town’s call to boost its dwindling water supply. In a media release published Thursday, the City of Cape Town noted that tender specifications for procuring and commissioning various water augmentation schemes have been downloaded 1 600 times since it issued the first of multiple requests for proposals (RFPs) last week. This first RFP was for land-based, salt water reverse osmosis desalination plants.
