Award of IWSP 1 Phase 2 Consultancy Service Contract

The Joint Venture consisting of CES Consulting Engineers Salzgitter GmbH / Germany (lead company), egis eau (France), and AAW Consulting Engineers (Egypt) has been awarded the contract for IWSP1 Phase 2.

The programme is funded by approx. 72% by the European Development Partner (EDPs) and approx. 28% by the Egyptian Government (GoE).

The Joint Venture is acting as the IC (Implementation Consultant) and is carrying out the following main tasks for the Phase 2 projects and remaining Phase 1 projects:
a) Overall programme management support
b) Implementation of investment measures:

Assistance during the selection of eligible projects
Preparation of designs and tender dossiers
Assistance during the tendering period
Superintendence of construction works incl. quality, quantity, and contractual monitoring
Support during the defect notification period

c) Overall budget monitoring support
d) Training on-the-job for the Project Management Unit (PMU) and Project Implementation Unit (PIU) staff

One of the challenges of the project is that several Phase 1 projects are not yet completed due to various reasons. These Phase 1 projects shall now be completed, but in accordance with the original set-up of the project in order to reduce the risks of further delays. For Phase 2 the overall set-up has been adjusted in order to fasten the administration and approval procedures.

The Consultancy Service contract for Phase 2 is concluded for 7 years.
