Transport Corridors for Economic Resilience Mozambique SOP 2 Project

GENERAL PROCUREMENT NOTICE Country: Republic of Mozambique Project: Transport Corridors for Economic Resilience Mozambique SOP 2 Project Practice Area: Transport Assignment Title: General Procurement Notice (GPN) Grant No: IDA-E4810 Project ID No : P510427 The Republic of Mozambique has received financing in the amount of United States Dollars, One Hundred Twenty-Three Million (US$ 123 Million Dollars) equivalent from the World Bank toward the cost of the Transport Corridors for Economic Resilience Mozambique SOP 2 Project , and it intends to apply part of the proceeds to payments for goods, works, non-consulting services and consulting services to be procured under this project. The project will include the following components: Regional transport connectivity along the Nacala Corridor; Enhanced logistics and operational efficiency along the Nacala corridor; Project Management, Monitoring and Evaluation; The Contingent Emergency Response Component (CERC). Together, these components will strengthen the targeted corridors (Nacala and Beira) to be safer, competitive, complementary and climate resilient. Importantly, they will help to reduce trade and transport costs along the corridors. Enhance regional transport connectivity along the Nacala corridor : This component will finance civil works activities that improve the condition, climate resilience, and safety of the Nacala road corridor and its secondary network. The roads to be upgraded will improve connectivity to economic centers along the corridor and enable value-chain development, particularly in the agricultural sector. All interventions will be built to climate resilient standards and reflect road safety recommendations from the safety audits and iRAP assessments. Through targeted studies, pilot projects and localized civil works, the project will identify climate susceptibility and implement improvements that aim to reduce the occurrence of interruptions to transit along the Nacala corridor.
