General Procurement Notice For: Bolivia Resilient Water Management for Community and Household Irrigation Project
The Plurinational State of Bolivia has received financing equivalent to USD 150,000,000 (One hundred fifty million 00/100 United States dollars) from the World Bank for the cost of the Resilient Water Management Project for Community and Family Irrigation . It intends to use part of these funds to make payments for the acquisition of goods, works, non-consulting services, and consulting services under this project, which will be executed through the Vice-Ministry of Water Resources, Irrigation, Drinking Water and Basic Sanitation – VMRHAPyS – under the Ministry of Productive, Rural and Water Development – ??MDPRyA (formerly the Ministry of Environment and Water – MMAyA). The Ministry has designated two implementing entities: a) the Coordination Unit of the Climate Resilience Pilot Program (UCP PPCR), and b) the Coordination and Execution Unit for More Investment in Irrigation Projects. (UCEP MY IRRIGATION).
The project will comprise the following components:
Component 1: Water Resources Planning and Pre-Investment Studies. Implemented by the UCP PPCR (USD 9.9 billion). This component will finance consulting services to develop studies addressing the current and future impacts of climate change on water resources, with two main objectives: (i) to develop basin-level water planning strategies (EPHIC) under the Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) and Integrated Basin Management (IBM) approaches, considering territorial and sectoral challenges, as well as the participation of vulnerable communities; and (ii) to prepare pre-investment studies and detailed engineering designs for sub-projects in micro-basins related to water conservation, irrigation, and risk management infrastructure.
Component 2: Investments in climate-resilient infrastructure (USD 139.328 billion, of which USD 117.840 billion is financed by the IBRD). Implemented by UCEP-MI RIEGO. This component will finance infrastructure (works) to strengthen climate resilience through water conservation, soil and land management, irrigation, and risk management. The investments—which will include works, goods, consulting services, and non-consulting services —are structured in three areas: integrated watershed management ( water harvesting and storage works, protection of groundwater recharge, reforestation, erosion control, and terracing, supported by technical consulting and operational assistance services ); community and family-run small-scale irrigation systems ( water catchment, storage, and distribution works, agricultural equipment, and operational strengthening and supervision services ); and risk management infrastructure ( riverbank protection and erosion and flood control structures designed according to resilience standards, with technical supervision and operation and maintenance (O&M) services ). These investments aim to reduce vulnerability to floods and droughts, guarantee access to water, protect lands and communities, and ensure the equitable participation of women and vulnerable groups.
Component 3: Capacity Building for Water Governance and Increased Productivity (USD 16.575 million). Implemented by the UCP PPCR . This component will finance consulting services, non-consulting services, and goods (excluding infrastructure) to strengthen water management at the regional and basin levels. The activities will benefit Basin Management Units (BMUs), Basin Management Organizations (BMOs), Autonomous Territorial Entities (ATEs), and farmers, facilitating training specifically tailored for women. The Organizational Strengthening and Productive Technical Assistance Program (FORATP) will offer training in agricultural production and efficient water management through consulting and non-consulting services . Goods and tools will also be acquired to support community management. In addition, the Project will have complementary technical assistance through an Advisory and Analysis Service (ASA) funded by the Global Partnership for Water Security and Sanitation (GWSP), to improve water management and response to extreme events.
Component 4: Project Management (USD 5.31 million): This component will finance the comprehensive management of the Project, including administrative, coordination, technical, fiduciary, environmental, and social oversight activities, as well as the monitoring and evaluation necessary for effective implementation. Procurement under this component will primarily include consulting services (for external audits, specialized technical support, environmental and social monitoring, and evaluation), non-consulting services (workshop logistics, operational support, communications, and management systems), goods (computer equipment, furniture, software, and tools for management and monitoring), and operating costs. Implementation of this component will be divided between the UCP-PPCR, responsible for fiduciary management, external audits, and report consolidation, and the UCEP-Mi Riego, which will carry out similar activities for areas related to on-the-ground investments.
The procurement of World Bank-financed contracts will be conducted in accordance with the procedures specified in the Procurement Regulations for Borrowers in Investment Projects, for Goods, Works, Non-Consulting Services, and Consulting Services of July 2016, revised in September 2023. All eligible companies and individuals, as defined in the Procurement Regulations, may participate. Following project negotiations, the World Bank will publish the initial agreed-upon procurement plan and all subsequent updates on its external website, once an objection has been granted.
Specific Procurement Notices (SPs) for contracts subject to open competition will be announced, as they become available, on the World Bank's external website and on the country's official website (www.sicoes.gob.bo) and/or newspapers of national circulation in the country.
