With a population of over 150 million people, Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa. Political unrest, poor governance and corruption have led to decades of water shortages, while the population has increased rapidly.

WaterAid aims at achieving sustainable access to clean water and sanitation in specific states in Nigeria. In line with this, WaterAid works in partnership the Local Government Authorities (LGAs) and the state Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Agencies (RUWASSA).
To achieve its objective, WaterAid Nigeria is implementing the Strengthening WASH Delivery System project in Bauchi State. Part of the project deliverables is the provision of access to clean water and improved sanitation facilities in selected communities and Primary Healthcare Centres in Kirfi Local Government Area of Bauchi State.
The project seeks to identify and engage a competent consulting firm with expertise in Water and Civil work construction to supervise the process of borehole and latrine construction and provide technical oversight and quality assurance to ensure the contractors are delivering to industry standard and in compliance with WaterAid specifications and designs
Over the years, our monitoring and evaluation has revealed several issues with the quality of latrines and water schemes constructed in the past. With respect to latrines, the dimensions and specifications were sometimes not followed by contractors, resulting in the latrines being poorly finished. Water schemes constructed sometimes failed resulting in further hardship for the intended beneficiaries. This situation, apart from leading to massive waste of resources also poses a great reputational risk for WaterAid Nigeria. As a key player in the WASH sector, the quality of WaterAid’s work in Nigeria is critical in achieving its influencing objectives. It is, therefore, important that the quality of our models is of the highest standards and can stand the test of time in providing benefits to the people.
To address this gap WaterAid Nigeria is seeking to engage the services of an engineering firm that is a certified member of the Council of Registered Engineers of Nigeria (COREN), has a track record of quality delivery and has high work ethical standards to supervise the construction of institutional latrines and water points in the Bauchi State.
