Invitation to Bid nb. 91151937 - Provision of Plastering, Piping and Painting Tools and Materials - ProVte program

Dear Prospective Bidders,

GIZ -ProVte Project is pleased to invite you to participate in our tender no. 91151937– Provision of Plastering and Piping Tools and Materials.

Context

With the aim of ensuring that all students of the BT programme “Bâtiment et Travaux Publics” whose learning has been frequently interrupted in the previous year, will receive the chance to stay engaged in learning throughout the current scholastic year, the EU-funded ProVTE Project, implemented by GIZ, has developed a concept to move the implementation from workshop-based Travaux Pratiques (TPs) to blended modalities and home-based TPs, which will ensure the continuity of the academic year despite the challenges. In this set up, students will learn using online tutorials then will conduct the practical activities at home using a home-kit that was specifically designed for this purpose, beside practicing in the schools’ workshop on real scale models whenever the schools are open again.

Objectives

Aiming at implementing a fully-rounded and comprehensive plan, and after developing and testing the home-kits, BT teachers at 15 selected schools were trained to deliver each of the TPs: “Plastering” and “Painting” TP in BT1 and “Installing water and sewage pipes for a bathroom (Piping)” in BT2.

Following the ToT, students at the selected TVET schools will start learning using their Practical Training Home-Kits and the online tutorials that were filmed for this purpose. Practical Training Home-Kits will be purchased for each of the mentioned TPs at each school and will rotate among an estimated number of students per class.

According to the adopted blended modality, it has been required to provide the schools’ workshops with materials, handy tools and consumables, to complement the work that will be done by students at home using the Practical Training Home-Kit. Students will also attend practical sessions at the school workshop whenever possible to work on real scale models and increase their hands-on experience.

In order to be able to proceed with the delivery of these TPs based on blended learning modality and using the Practical Training Home-Kits for the 15 VTE schools, the project has already procured piping and plastering tools and materials for 8 schools from the first stage of implementation. However, the project still needs to procure and deliver piping and plastering tools and materials for the remaining 7 VTE schools/institutes across Lebanon, and painting tools and materials for all 15 VTE schools/institutes.
