Support to the National Office of Electricity and Drinking Water for the launch of a call for tenders for an extended subcontracting contract at commercial risk - Morocco
Context
The Moroccan National Office of Electricity and Drinking Water (ONEE) is developing various forms of subcontracting to ensure the management of drinking water services by mobilising the private sector, particularly in rural areas. In this context, it is receiving support from the French Development Agency (AFD) for the financing of an extended subcontracting contract which aims at outsourcing the installation of connections and the management of the drinking water service for a 10-year period in the rural area of Al Hoceima - Targuist and Ketama circles. This contract model with transfer of commercial risk is part of a farming logic and has never been implemented before.
Objective
To support the ONEE for financial modelling and the preparation of the operation’s tender documents.
Our contribution
Our team has conducted the following activities :
- Critical analysis of tender documents prepared for Safi Ouest and El Borouj operations
- Production of revised tender documents suitable for Al Hoceima operation
- Adaptation of existing financial models to the scope of the tender and development of a provisional business plan
Our team brought its experience in defining innovative performance-based contracts in a Moroccan context where the outsourcing of water services in rural areas is still in its early stage.
