Tender Details

Tenders are invited for Consultant in Support of the Child Protection Section for Monitoring and Control of WASH Infrastructure Construction Works at Libreville Central Prison, Gabon

1. Background

Since 2016, UNICEF_GABON provides technical assistance for the strengthening of the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene sector to the Government of Gabon within the framework of the Country Program.

As part of the implementation of this program in 2019, construction work on WASH infrastructure has been scheduled.

The DHS II of Gabon (2013) reveals a proportion of households consuming drinking water of 89% in 2012, 98% in urban areas and 49% in rural areas. In rural areas, 27% of the population consume surface water. Individual sanitation (building latrines and wells at home) is very limited, and the use of unshared improved toilets only affects 34% of the total population and 11% of the rural population.

For several years, the Central Prison of Libreville knows enormous difficulties of supply of drinking water for its 3250 residents including 3000 prisoners including children. It is in this context that a request from the Government requested the completion of a drilling to meet the need for drinking water of this prison structure.

Technical feasibility studies and construction control of WASH infrastructures in general and those of boreholes in particular are very important steps to ensure the quality of infrastructure and hence their sustainability.

Recognizing the importance of these steps, Unicef ??Gabon required the support of a Consultant for needs assessment, technical feasibility, bid analysis and work control.

For this, the support of a Consultant is necessary. This support will make it possible to carry out the various phases of the works: the evaluation and the analysis of the needs, the drafting of a technical specifications, the preparation of a call for tender, the administrative and technical analysis of the offers, the selection of the winning company, the documentation of the drilling, the drilling and the drilling flow test, the provisional acceptance of the drilling.
