Madagascar’s Multimodal Transport and Logistics Project (PTML) and Aéroports de Madagascar (ADEMA) have two airport equipment procurements open and have added studies for a runway extension at Toliara airport to the project’s World Bank procurement plan.
Emergency equipment for Toamasina and Tolagnaro
The larger open procurement, reference 01-ADEMA-F-PTML/2026, is for first-intervention vehicles, a fire engine and tractors with rotary mowers for Toamasina and Tolagnaro airports, with on-site training. The invitation was amended on 5 November 2026, moving the bid deadline to 23 November 2026 at 14:00 Madagascar time. It is an international competitive procurement under the World Bank’s September 2025 procurement regulations, tendered as a single indivisible lot with an 11-month execution period and a 24-month warranty. Bids are scored 70% on cost and 30% on rated technical and non-price criteria, and must carry a bid security of US$6,000 or its equivalent.
A generator for Toliara
A national request for quotations, reference 16-ADEMA-F-PTML/2026, seeks the supply and installation of one 150 kVA generator at Toliara airport, with a 90-day execution period and a 12-month warranty. Quotations close on 16 November 2026 at 10:00 and must remain valid for 120 days.
Both procurements are financed under IDA credits 8004-MG and 8005-MG. Submissions must be delivered by hand to the PTML coordination unit at the Maison des projets in the Agence Routière compound at Alarobia, Antananarivo; electronic submission is not accepted. The French bidding documents are available on written request to the coordination unit (vero.rakotomalala@ptml.mg).
Toliara runway extension studies
The procurement plan revised on 4 November 2026 lists two study assignments for extending the runway at Toliara, with a combined estimated value of US$680,000. The first, reference 11-(B)-ADEMA-C-PTML/2026, covers detailed design and an environmental and social impact assessment, estimated at US$500,000, to be procured by quality-and-cost-based selection in an open national market. Its planned expression-of-interest notice is 2 December 2026, with contract signature planned for July 2027 and completion in January 2029. The second, reference 11-(C)-ADEMA-C-PTML/2026, is for geotechnical studies, estimated at US$180,000, by direct selection of an individual consultant, with contract signature planned for 4 December 2026. Both are pending implementation.
The same plan carries a separate US$2,872,500 package for rehabilitation and safety works on Toliara airport’s aeronautical infrastructure and equipment, also pending implementation, and a US$776,000 consultancy for studies and supervision of infrastructure works and navigation aid installation at Toliara, whose procurement is under way.
