[INVITATION CALL FOR PROPOSAL & PRE-BID MEETING] : REQ-WJD-20-0184 : "Implementation of PD PAL Jaya Product and Services's Marketing Strategy"

 Dear Potential Bidders,


Dear Potential Bidders,

DAI, implementer of the USAID funded Indonesia Urban Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Penyehatan Lingkungan Untuk Semua (IUWASH PLUS) Project invites qualified partners to submit proposal / bids for REQ-WJD-20-0184 : Implementation of PD PAL Jaya Product and Services's Marketing Strategy.

Background
The USAID Indonesia Urban Water, Sanitation and Hygiene, Penyehatan Lingkungan Untuk Semua (IUWASH PLUS) program is a five year-and-eight-month initiative designed to assist the Government of Indonesia (GOI) in increasing access to water supply and sanitation services as well as improving key hygiene behaviors among urban poor and vulnerable populations. USAID IUWAS PLUS works with governmental agencies, the private sector, NGOs, communities and others to achieve the following "high level" results :

1. An increase of 1,100,000 people in urban areas with access to improved water supply service quality, of which at least 500,000 are from the poorest 40% of the population (also referred to as the "Bottom 40%" or "B40"), vulnerable groups or Indonesia's eastern provinces ; and
2. An increase of 500,000 people in urban areas with access to safely managed sanitation.

To ensure that that improvements in access to WASH services are sustained, USAID IUWASH PLUS is guided by a development hypothesis that focuses on strengthening service delivery systems, so they can more effectively reach the poorest and most vulnerable segments of the population. In order to achieve this at scale, the program undertakes activities through four interrelated components, including: 1) improving household WASH services; 2) strengthening city WASH institutional performance; 3) strengthening the WASH financing environment; and 4) advancing national WASH advocacy, coordination and communication. In support of these components, USAID IUWASH PLUS also implements a Local Sustainability and Innovation Component (LSIC) that is designed to stimulate WASH innovations that strengthen community, private sector and government WASH service provision.

Activity Description
DKI Jakarta is one of the largest metropolitan areas in the world that due to rapid and often unplanned growth, has and continues to face tremendous challenges in the WASH sector. As the population continues to rapidly grow and as the overall metropolitan area becomes increasingly built-up, WASH service expansion has not been able to keep pace. The lack of piped water services in many areas also increases the reliance of especially poorer households on shallow wells, but the lack of appropriate septage management service likewise means that many of the wells that households rely on are increasingly contaminated.

PD PAL Jaya (Waste Water Company for Jakarta) provides a range of services, including from an “off-site” sewerage system as well as through the provision of desludging services for “on-site” systems under a program for scheduled desludging services (Layanan Lumpur Tinja Terjadwal or “L2T2”). PD PAL Jaya has the ambition to rapidly expand their service with aim to cover 30% of the Jakarta population (over 10 million people) in near future, and because their own effort to increase customer base quickly has not been very successful, therefore PD-PAL Jaya has requested IUWASH PLUS assistance in developing a new promotional strategy to assist them in reaching their target of 800,000 households by 2022.

To be able to achieve this large target, IUWASH PLUS has already begun its initial activities with previous consultant during the period of October 2018 - July 2019 with the results as in the following link: (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FOzZqhKIwVasG5JGRDQHlkyfCLmX5JKI/view). Some of results from initial activities are about customer behavior, PD PAL Jaya’s products/services perception and path especially on sewerage system, BioPal Septic Tank and Desludging services (L2T2). Some of results from the initial activity such as research on customer behavior, perception and path of PD PAL Jaya products and services such as piping systems, BioPal septic tanks and PD PAL Jaya toilet suction services.
