Tender Details

Request for proposals are invited for Supply, Install, Train and Provide required Goods for Dredger Spread at Kapichira (Base) and Nkula (Option) Hydropower Plants.

1. The Millennium Challenge Corporation (“MCC”) and the Government of Malawi (the “Government” or “GoM”) have entered into a Millennium Challenge Compact for Millennium Challenge Account assistance to help facilitate poverty reduction through economic growth in Malawi (the “Compact”) in the amount of approximately 350.7 million USD (“MCC Funding”). The Government, acting through the Millennium Challenge Account- Malawi (“MCA Entity” or “Purchaser”), intends to apply a portion of the MCC Funding to eligible payments under a contract for which this Invitation for Bids (“IFB”) is issued. Any payments made under the proposed contract will be subject, in all respects, to the terms and conditions of the Compact and related documents, including restrictions on the use of MCC funding and conditions to the disbursements of MCC funding. No party other than the Government and the Purchaser shall derive any rights from the Compact or have any claim to the proceeds of MCC Funding.

2. The Compact program focuses on investments in the energy sector that will increase availability, reliability, and quality of power; increase the availability of quality power to un-served users; and improve management and service delivery in the Energy sector. Existing businesses will benefit from improved access to power, which will enhance their competitiveness on the global market by reducing generator costs and improving their operational performance. In addition, new investment opportunities from existing and new sources will become more attractive encouraging private sector growth that in turn will drive new economic growth, increase incomes and ultimately reduce poverty in the country.

Specifically, the Electricity Supply Corporation of Malawi (ESCOM), plans to execute
maintenance dredging at their hydro power plant (HPP) reservoirs at Kapichira and
possibly Nkula, on the Shire River, with support from the Millennium Challenge
