Justification/Background
UNICEF is engaged in the provision of critical emergency water supply and sanitation services, including water
trucking, as part of its emergency response. Juba PoC camp is one of IDP camps and it is currently hosting about
30,000 IDPs and UNICEF supplies water to the camp through water trucking.
On a typical day, at the peak of the emergency, UNICEF’s has been trucking an average of 850 cubic metres of
treated water per day.
To provide sustainable safe water supply to the PoC, UNICEF, with donor support, is completing a piped water
supply system to be commissioned in February 2021 with water production of 1,800 m3 per day which is sufficient,
but the system is not expected to run at full capacity at the onset and may be expected to result in a deficit to be
made up by external water supply through water trucking at a reduced daily average of 450 cubic metres.
UNICEF is therefore looking to engage a highly qualified company to implement and manage the emergency
provision of water trucking services to the Juba PoC camp when needed.
