About this tender

This is an EBRD General Procurement Notice (GPN) for the Southern Oases Hydraulic Infrastructure project in Tunisia (EBRD Project ID 49250). It is not a tender that can be responded to directly. It announces that the client, the Tunisian Government (Direction Générale du Génie Rural et d'Exploitation des Eaux, Ministry of Agriculture, Water Resources and Fisheries), intends to procure works and consultancy services under the project. The project is a sovereign loan to the Government of Tunisia to modernise the hydraulic infrastructure of four southern governorates: Gabes, Gafsa, Kebili and Tozeur. It will finance the replacement and renovation of deep drillings and associated infrastructure as part of a wider oases regeneration programme. Its aims are to restore and enhance the resilience of 34 oasis ecosystems and to improve water access for irrigated agriculture. The stated total project value is EUR 65,000,000, of which EUR 55,000,000 is EBRD finance and EUR 10,000,000 is external financing. The notice gives an estimated procurement start date of 06/04/2022, which predates the notice's publication date of 13/10/2026. The specific packages, their scopes and their durations are not described in this notice and will be set out in future procurement opportunities.
