Tanzania’s PPP Centre and Mbeya City Council held market sounding for an abattoir and bus terminal PPP, with CRDB Bank and other lenders giving feedback.
The Public Private Partnership Centre (PPPC) took part in market sounding sessions for two proposed PPP projects in Mbeya City. CRDB Bank, NMB Bank, and TIB Development Bank joined the discussions and gave feedback on financing assumptions and risks.
The Public Private Partnership Centre (PPPC) participated in market sounding sessions for two proposed infrastructure projects being developed by Mbeya City Council (MCC) under Tanzania’s Public Private Partnership (PPP) framework.
The sessions were organised by MCC on 3 and 4 November 2026. They focused on the Ilemi Modern Abattoir PPP Project and the Uyole Modern Bus Terminal PPP Project.
The meetings brought together about 50 participants. Attendees included representatives from MCC, PPPC, the PPP Node, and financial institutions such as CRDB Bank, NMB Bank and TIB Development Bank.
PPPC said the engagements were used to present the projects, assess market interest, and obtain feedback from potential financing partners and other stakeholders. The feedback was meant to inform feasibility studies before formal procurement procedures begin.
A central objective of the market sounding was to assess the projects against commercial viability, bankability, and affordability to citizens.
For the Ilemi Modern Abattoir, the preliminary presentation said the proposed facility is designed to handle 80 cattle and 100 sheep or goats per day, compared with the existing Ilemi abattoir’s reported capacity of 35 cattle per day. The project has an indicative capital cost of about TZS 10 billion and a proposed PPP agreement period of 25 years.
For the Uyole Modern Bus Terminal, MCC presented a plan with an indicative capital investment exceeding TZS 18 billion and a proposed PPP agreement period of 20 years.
In both sessions, stakeholders raised questions about validating demand projections and testing revenue and cost assumptions. PPPC noted that CRDB Bank, NMB Bank and TIB Development Bank provided feedback on investment assumptions, financial risks, and financing prospects.
Market sounding is an early step that tests whether investors and lenders think a project can work. PPPC said its role included guidance on Tanzania’s PPP legal and institutional framework, including compliance with the Public Private Partnership Act, Cap. 103, and applicable regulations, as amended.
