## Summary

The procurement process titled "DFID 7643 Clerk of Works Services to Oversee the Rehabilitation of Freetown Water Supply and Other Social Infrastructure in Sierra Leone" is managed by the Department for International Development (DFID). This contract falls under the category of foreign economic-aid-related services and is associated with significant infrastructure improvements in Sierra Leone. The tender was awarded on 25th November 2016, and the contract commenced on 5th December 2016, running until 1st June 2018, with a total value of £951,188. The focus is on enhancing water supply and social infrastructure, particularly benefitting low-income communities in the capital, Freetown.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in construction and quality assurance services. Companies with expertise in managing public infrastructure projects, especially those involving water supply and health services, would be well-suited to compete in such tenders. By engaging with DFID’s initiatives, businesses can contribute to critical developmental outcomes while expanding their operational footprint in the growing sector of international aid and infrastructure rehabilitation.

## Notice

The purpose of this Terms of Reference (ToR) is to seek a Clerk of Works to oversee the two DFID funded social infrastructure projects in Sierra Leone, under the post-ebola Presidential Priority Plan: a. PS38 million Freetown water supply rehabilitation project (2016 - 2018). This project is intended to improve access to safe water for up to 600,000 people, mostly from low income areas of the city. b. Quality Assurance of the construction of School classrooms and Rehabilitation of Health Centres (2016 - 2017) undertaken by NGO Consortia and UN Agencies. The classroom construction project is intended to benefit approximately 9,000 school children. Rehabilitation of existing health centres will contribute to reducing neonatal, maternal and child mortality by 10% over the next two years; increase the use of quality reproductive, maternal, neonatal and child health (RMNCH) services, and reduce maternal related mortality/morbidity and teenage pregnancies. The specific objective of the Clerk of Works (CoW) is to ensure that construction works being implemented under the two DFID water and sanitation and health and education projects are designed and constructed to an acceptable quality assurance standard in accordance with the Client's requirements, and provide good value for money.
