Job Description

Introduction

EAII Advisors Pvt. Ltd. (EAII) is a company incorporated in India under the Companies Act, 2013, providing consulting and support to organizations in the field of public health and upliftment of economically weaker sections of society. EAII has been engaged by Evidence Action to provide technical assistance to Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM)[1] and the state governments of Andhra Pradesh (AP) and Madhya Pradesh (MP) to support JJM’s goal of ensuring that the water is safe for human consumption by rapidly scaling up in-line chlorination. 

EAII’s support includes: (1) working with state governments to develop an optimized service delivery model for in-line chlorination devices at single village scheme systems (SVS)[2], and (2) working with government partners to develop systems, processes, and tools (including budgeting, tendering, policies & guidelines) to drive state-wide scale up of in-line chlorination at SVS systems.

Specifically, this includes overseeing the installation of approximately 120 tablet-based doser chlorination devices into SVS in Andhra Pradesh from January 2025-December 2025. These devices will enable villages to consistently and safely dose their drinking water with chlorine.

In addition to the 120 devices being installed by December 2025, EAII plans to install an additional ~180 devices in 2026. EAII intends to provide 5 years of technical support to the state government of Andhra Pradesh, during which time the state government will oversee installations of significantly greater scale. 

The state 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 devices. After 2026, the Andhra Pradesh state government will finance and oversee the installation and operation of additional devices, with technical support from EAII, thereby potentially opening a substantial new market for devices such as those to be installed and maintained through this RFP

Purpose

EAII is soliciting bids from Contractors to procure, install, maintain, and refill tablet-based doser chlorination devices (the “Devices”) in Andhra Pradesh. 

The successful Contractor will install devices through 31st December 2025, and will maintain devices through 31st December 2029. These devices will need to ensure at least 0.2 parts per million of Free Chlorine Residual (“FCR”) at the last household in the village and no more than 1.5 parts per million of FCR at the first household in the village, though lower chlorine rates are preferred in the first household. EAII is still actively learning about what technologies and solutions work best and is looking for a flexible Implementation Contractor (“Contractor”) that can be a part of the learning and optimization process.

All communication, including the proposals should be sent to procurement@eaiiadvisors.in. Please mention in the subject line the title of the RFP as captured on the cover page. All of the questions to the RFP and the answers will be shared with every Contractor that submits an intention to bid.
