This call for tenders is part of the cooperation between the West African Power Pool Secretariat (WAPP) and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ).

The ProCEM2 programme has a duration of 3 years (01/2022 to 12/2024).
Following the example of the previous ProMERC 1 programme, which focused mainly on reducing distribution losses at the level of electricity distribution companies in the ECOWAS region for the period 2018-2020, the present programme intends to broaden its scope of intervention by extending its support to the operational performance of electricity companies to enable them to be sufficiently viable to participate in the regional electricity market
The purpose of this tender is to recruit a consultancy firm whose mission is to identify the challenges and critical factors affecting the efficiency, performance and sustainable operational service delivery of selected utilities in West Africa and to recommend the establishment of a loss tracking system, action plans and corrective measures to improve their operational performance.
