Contracting services for construction of model police stations

Background

The German Federal Foreign Office has commissioned the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH to provide technical assistance to the Government of the Republic of The Gambia. As a federally owned enterprise, GIZ supports the German Government in achieving its objectives in the field of international cooperation.

GIZ is currently implementing its programme “Police Programme Africa – Joint EU-German Support to the Gambia Police Force (Phase 2)”. This programme is co-funded by the European Union. It provides technical assistance to the Gambia Police Force (GPF), supporting the governance and effectiveness of the security sector through measures including rehabilitation of police infrastructure. In Phase 1, GIZ has implemented the construction of model police stations within the Greater Banjul area. It now plans to construct similar model police stations in other regions of the Gambia.

Purpose of this Call

The objective of this Call for Expressions of Interest is to identify suitable construction contracting firms for the construction of model police stations at selected locations in various regions of The Gambia. 

Subject to applicable procurement rules and regulations, qualified construction contracting firms may be approached later for the implementation of the construction works. 

This Call thus forms part of a market survey for the mentioned services.

Planned Construction Works

A total of six (6) model police stations will be constructed in various regions of The Gambia. Works can comprise completion of unfinished structures, partial renovation, extension of existing infrastructure and erecting new structures with related technical installations (electric power and sanitary facilities), to international standards.

Services will be required in the following regions:

• West Coast Region 
• North Bank Region 
• Central River Region

The contracts will be divided into Lots which will be decided at the time of tendering which is expected to take place in November 2024.
