The tender invitation states that 100% foreign owned companies shall subcontract up to 30% of the contract to a 100% citizen owned company and must indicate the sub-contractor by name, as well as the percentage of work to be subcontracted in line with Botswana's Citizen Economic Empowerment Policy of 2012.
