Seeking qualified consultants to facilitate public participation for CAPEX water and sewer projects in Johannesburg. Key tasks include stakeholder engagement, community meetings, and recruitment of local labor and SMMEs.
Johannesburg Water is inviting proposals from experienced consultants to conduct public participation for various capital expenditure (CAPEX) projects related to water supply and sewerage across the City of Johannesburg. The selected service provider will be responsible for engaging with key stakeholders, including ward councillors and community members, to ensure transparency and community buy-in for the projects. This will involve conducting public meetings, facilitating one-on-one interviews, and providing progress reports to ensure effective communication throughout the project lifecycle.
The scope of work includes the introduction of projects to stakeholders, recruitment of Community Liaison Officers (CLOs), local labor, and Small, Medium, and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs). The consultant will also assist in conflict resolution and provide regular updates to Johannesburg Water's Stakeholder Relations and Communications Department. This initiative aims to enhance community involvement and minimize disruptions during project implementation, ultimately leading to improved service delivery and infrastructure upgrades in the region.
This tender is suitable for consulting firms with expertise in public participation, stakeholder engagement, and community relations, particularly those experienced in working with local government and infrastructure projects.
