SECTION I: INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS (ITB) 

1. Background:

1.4 The Government of Andhra Pradesh has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Evidence Action, authorizing Evidence Action, through EAII, to install and operate a footprint of In-line Chlorination (ILC) Devices³ at SVS systems. 

1.5 As part of this work, EAII has supported the Government of Andhra Pradesh in installation of 120 ILC Devices across three districts (Krishna, Eluru, and NTR), in the year 2025, enabling villages to consistently and safely dose drinking water with chlorine.  

1.6 EAII now aims to expand its scope further by supporting the installation of 150 additional ILC Devices at SVS systems beginning in June 2026 in phases. 

1.7 Post 2026, EAII intends to provide five years of technical support to the Government of Andhra Pradesh, during which time it is anticipated that the state government may oversee installations of significantly greater scale.
