## Summary

The Department for International Development (DFID) is initiating a tender titled "Meeting the WaSH 2020 challenge - Sanitation, Water and Hygiene for the Rural Poor". This project, classified under foreign economic-aid-related services, aims to establish sustainable sanitation and water supplies for up to 7.5 million vulnerable individuals in rural areas of sub-Saharan Africa and South/South East Asia. The planning phase is currently underway, with the contract period set to commence on 2 April 2018 and concluding on 2 April 2020. A budget of £2,500,000 has been allocated for the 2017/2018 period, and a future notice for this tender is scheduled for 4 September 2017.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on sanitation, water supply solutions, and hygiene interventions, particularly those that can contribute to improving conditions for women and girls in underserved rural communities. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-suited to compete, given their potential for innovation and tailored solutions that address specific local needs in diverse geographical locations, including British Overseas Territories and the UK.

## Notice

DFID will support the establishment of sustainable sanitation and water supplies for up to 7.5 million poor and vulnerable people. Its main emphasis is sanitation, reflecting the fact that for every person lacking access to safe water, three lack access to appropriate toilets. Sanitation will be complemented by improved water supplies in water scarce areas. 1,500 schools and health care facilities will also be targeted by Water, Sanitation and Hygiene interventions to maximise the project's impact, especially its impact on women and girls. The project will be implemented in rural areas in low and lower-middle income countries, primarily targeting a number of Least Developed Countries in chiefly in sub-Saharan Africa and South /South East Asia, characterised by poor access to sanitation.
