This request for expressions of interest follows the general procurement notice for this project that appeared in United Nations Development Business Nr. 694 of 1 December 2006 online and in DG Market.

The Government of Mozambique (GoM) has applied for a credit from the International Development Association (IDA) towards the cost of the Southern Africa Power Market (APL2): Mozambique – Malawi Transmission Interconnection Project, and intends to apply part of the proceeds of this credit to payments under the contract for consultancy services. The services include the preparation of a Bankable Feasibility Study for a High Voltage (HV) transmission interconnection line from Phombeya in Malawi to Nampula in Mozambique.

The Study should include, among others, the following activities:

 Realization of preliminary design, load flows, short circuit and stability analysis of the future HV transmission line, taking into account the recent and future developments of the concerned parts in Malawi and Mozambique as well as the on going transmission interconnection project from Mozambique to Malawi. The estimated length of the HV transmission line is 500 km of which about 160 km is on the Malawian side;

 Identification of the needs for extending the Phombeya and Nampula Substations including the upgrade of the respective power system control in order to accommodate connection of the new line;

 Preparation and submission of the feasibility report and a bankable project document with financial and economic justification of the project and recommendations
