Riverside Development Organization (RDO) invites quotations from eligible, registered and experienced contractors, suppliers, firms and service providers for the Construction of Solar-Powered Safe Drinking Water Stations under the Good Water Project, funded by Good Neighbors Pakistan.
Clean drinking water remains out of reach for many families in our target villages. Each station in this project is designed to change that: a 6,000-litre insulated masonry tank, a solar-powered pump, and four bib cocks that put safe, cool drinking water within walking distance of the households that need it most.
Two separate Calls for Quotations are being issued, one for each district. Firms may bid for either or both.
