Malawi’s Gaming and Lotteries Authority (MAGLA) has invited qualified local and international companies to bid for a five-year contract covering the design, development, implementation and maintenance of an Electronic Monitoring System for the gaming industry. The Request for Proposals was issued on 21 October 2026.
Tender timetable and costs
Bids are due by 16:30 on 23 November, with the opening scheduled for 10:00 on 24 November. Interested companies must pay a non-refundable fee of MWK10 million if applying locally or US$5,000 if applying internationally to obtain the RFP.
Why the system matters
Malawi’s regulations require operators to integrate with the electronic monitoring system for oversight and reporting. The Ministry of Finance has credited the existing system, alongside increased licensing and compliance, with helping MAGLA improve its financial performance. The tender notice does not make clear whether the new contract will replace, expand or update the current system, so bidders will need to examine the full procurement documents.
