REQUISITION FOR BIDS FOR ON-SITE DEMONSTRATION TRAINING ON CONSTRUCTION OF BIODIGESTER ADAPTED LATRINE (BAL), BORNO STATE
INVITATION TO BID
Solidarités International (SI) hereby invites offers from qualified businesses (Small and Medium Enterprises -SMEs or Individuals) with valid registration in Nigeria for on-site demonstration training on construction of Bio-Digester Adapted Latrine, BAL, commonly known as Bio–digester.
The facilities shall be installed in public institutions serving IDPs and affected hosts in and around Maiduguri and Jere Metropolitan Municipal Council (MMC) and Monguno Town. This activity is funded by European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Affairs- ECHO duing 2024/2025.
The activity entails installation of up to 12 bio-digester adapted latrines, connection to existing waterborne sanitary facilities in institutions, and commissioning their operation. The Trainer shall provide all materials, equipment and labour (with the trainees contributing to labour) and training
manuals related to the works. The SME/Individual business is expected to leverage on this opportunity to promote and market the BAL technology in Maiduguri and the Northeast generally, where it remains largely unexploited, despite household over-reliance on conventional off grid excreta disposal methods: pit latrine, soak-pits and septic tanks . This helps to trigger demand and entrench the technology and skills in the local community, while generating further business opportunities for the SME/Vendor.
Works are expected to commence in February 2025 and finish in March 2025. The successful bidder shall submit via email a proposal to SI comprising of a technical package (complete drawings of two sets of bio-digesters of different volumes, complete with soak-pits, description of construction methodology, activity calendar and training plan); along with financial package
detailing costing for the two sets of bio-digesters, logistics costs and cost of on – job training per trainee aggregated to 12 trainees). The complete package should reach SI by 11.00 midnight Monday 3rd February 2025.
