Australia China Environment Development Program (ACEDP)

ACEDP is a five-year Government-to-Government initiative, with the objective of improving environmental protection and natural resource management (in particular water management) to balance the needs of the environment and human development in China. GHD Pty Ltd is the Managing Contractor for ACEDP. 

GHD is seeking qualified service providers to manage the implementation of the Lake Tai Water Pollution Treatment activity. Lake Tai is approximately 2400 km2 - the third largest lake in China but the most important in terms of population density and contribution to the national GDP. China has identified Lake Tai as a priority in the 10th (2001-2005) and 11th (2006-2010) Five Year Plans. Following the severe algae outbreak of 2007, China’s National Development and Resource Commission (NDRC) developed a comprehensive restoration program that has been approved by the State Council. 

The Lake Tai Water Pollution Treatment activity will support the implementation of the Tai Lake Restoration Plan and good governance and decision-making for IRBM. It is anticipated that the activity will commence in March 2009 and will be completed within 18 months. Selection will be on a competitive, one step basis.

The closing date for submission of this proposal is 5:00pm Friday 30 January 2009.

All interested parties should notify Ms Casey Feng via email mei.feng@acedp-partnership.org of their interest to tender in order to receive future tender notifications or any potential addenda for this tender opportunity.
