IFB No: NWRMA/HSD/ICB/2022/001
The National Water Resources Management Agency has received funds from the Government of Sierra Leone to procure water quality equipment and reagents for the establishment of a national water quality laboratory. Sierra Leone has vast surface water resources and an appreciable groundwater resource due to its 12 river basins and many aquifers that can sustain community water abstraction. However, with an increase in population, the creation of new settlements, the proliferation of artisanal mining, poor solid and liquid waste management, amongst others, have led to the contamination of many water bodies and pose threats to others. The establishment of a National Water Quality Laboratory will enable the Agency to embark on routine water quality monitoring for both surface and groundwater resources. This will further enable the Agency to detect point source pollution, regulate effluent disposal by water users and generally protect and manage Sierra Leone’s water resources.
On this note the NWRMA now invites sealed bids from eligible bidders for the procurement of the following:
