77 projects are awaiting a status update.

The period their planning document stated has passed and no later official statement about them has been found. They are listed as the published historical pipeline, shown with the dates their source actually published, and excluded from every forward-looking figure on this page. A passed date is not evidence that work started, and ZEPRA does not treat it as any. Where a later procurement process from the same institution may relate to a line, it is shown on the record as a possible, unconfirmed link.

Stages

How a project travels from a plan to a site

Once construction begins a project leaves this register and joins the projects directory.

Preparation

  • Announced None published

    Publicly announced by an authorised institution. No preparation documented yet.

  • Concept 8

    Identified in a plan as a proposal. Scope and cost are indicative.

  • Under appraisal 38

    Being assessed for technical and economic feasibility.

  • Business case development None published

    A business case is being prepared for an investment decision.

Approval and financing

  • Approved None published

    Approved to proceed. Not necessarily funded.

  • Budgeted 77

    A budget provision has been published for it.

  • Funding being secured None published

    Financing is being arranged. It is not yet in place.

Procurement

  • Procurement planned None published

    Included in a published annual procurement plan. No tender is open.

  • Tender expected None published

    A tender is expected within a stated period. It has not been published.

  • Tender open None published

    A tender is open. Bids are submitted to the authorised system, never to ZEPRA.

  • Evaluation None published

    Bids have closed and are being evaluated.

  • Award pending None published

    Evaluation is complete and an award decision is awaited.

Contracting

  • Contracting None published

    A supplier has been selected and the contract is being concluded.

  • Mobilisation expected None published

    The contract is in place and the contractor is expected on site.

A stage showing "None published" is a statement about this register, not about Zambia. Every upcoming project here is taken from an official planning document, and the register currently draws on 2 such sources: Road Development Agency annual work plans (Road Development Agency), 77 projects; Rural Electrification Authority project register (Rural Electrification Authority), 46 projects. Where a stage is empty, no connected source has published a project at that point in its journey. ZEPRA does not place a project at a stage the source documents do not put it at.

A stage is not a promise. "Procurement planned" and "Tender expected" mean a tender has not been published; bids are only ever submitted through the authorised procurement system, never to ZEPRA.

About this register

A project appears here when an authorised source identifies it as a future public project and its delivery has not yet entered physical implementation. Once construction begins the project moves to the project register, keeping its full pipeline history.

Planned procurement is not an open tender. A project shown as “procurement planned” or “tender expected” appears in an approved plan; no tender has been published and no bid can be made. Open tenders are in the procurement register, and bids are always submitted to the authorised government system — never to ZEPRA.

A budget provision is not funding. Appearing in a plan means an intention has been published, not that money has been committed. Dates are shown at the precision the source published them: where a document states a year, this register states a year.

Routine purchasing — stationery, fuel, consumables — belongs to procurement planning and is not listed here as a project.
