RFP - Tender for five stand post in Varanasi

TENDER NOTICE

1. Background

Access to safe and reliable drinking water remains a critical challenge in several habitations of Harahua Block in Varanasi District, Uttar Pradesh. Although the Government of India, through the Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM), is expanding piped water supply, many marginalized settlements continue to face inadequate access to potable water due to limited household connections, inadequate storage infrastructure, and uneven water distribution.

Women, children, elderly people, and socially vulnerable households are disproportionately affected, often spending considerable time and effort collecting drinking water from distant or unreliable sources. During peak summer months and periods of high demand, the availability of safe drinking water becomes even more constrained.

To address this challenge, installation of Ferrocement Tank Towers (Jal Minar) connected with the existing water supply system and equipped with community stand posts is proposed. Ferrocement technology offers a durable, cost-effective, low-maintenance, and climate-resilient solution for decentralized drinking water storage and distribution.

Project Goal:

To improve equitable and sustainable access to safe drinking water for underserved communities in Harahua Block through the installation of Ferrocement Tank Towers (Jal Minar) with community stand posts.

Objectives

Improve access to safe drinking water for underserved households.

Reduce the distance and time spent collecting drinking water.

Strengthen community-level drinking water infrastructure.

Support the objectives of Jal Jeevan Mission by strengthening last-mile service delivery.
