USAID Expanding Water and Sanitation Project (former WASH-GIP)

This procurement was conducted through Full and Open competition using the procedures in FAR Part 15. The resulting contract is a Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee, Completion type.  The USAID Expanding Water and Sanitation Project will increase sustainable WASH service delivery in Muchinga, Northern, Western and Southern Provinces. These provinces may be subject to change during the life of implementation. The purpose of this activity is to professionalize WASH services, to promote accountability for reliable and high-quality WASH services, and to enhance the enabling environment for private sector engagement in service delivery. All activities are predicated on enhanced sector governance, for this reason, the Expanding Water and Sanitation project will work with the Government of the Republic of Zambia (GRZ) entities at the national, provincial, and local levels to ensure that the systems, policies, and processes are in place, implemented and enforced to ensure Zambians receive access to high-quality WASH services. Expanding Water and Sanitation will also work with the private sector to leverage reach, innovation, and long-term commercial interests to provide lasting services. By doing so, USAID will greatly contribute to building the capacity of Zambian WASH service providers.
