Purpose of the RFP

The purpose of this document is to invite proposals from organizations that have been working in providing Solid and Liquid Waste Management services with a proven record of accomplishment of implementing such projects with ULBs or at village level. The organisation needs to submit proposal for ‘Zero Waste Urban Village Initiative’ in one of HCLFoundation’s project areas – Makora & Thapkhera villages of Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh.

Background

Under HCLFoundation’s My Clean City programme, Clean Urban Village Project initiated in 2019 has contributed to improving solid and liquid waste management, fostering cleanliness, promoting sustainable practices and setting a SWM model for 7 urban villages of Noida. Building upon this success, we now aim to expand the project to urban villages of Greater Noida city. It entails demonstrating sustainable Solid and Liquid Waste Management (SLWM) models in the two selected villages namely Makora and Thapkhera of Greater Noida.

Greater Noida has new infrastructure in terms of roads, community halls, schools, toilets, water supply etc., but it takes a rear seat when it comes to municipal solid waste management in its urban villages. Under the ambit of My Clean City programme, HCLFoundation aims to transform the selected urban villages by means of creating sustainable surroundings.

Makora & Thapkhera villages of Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh are the project implementation sites. They are situated around 5-6 kms from GNIDA office in Greater Noida. Below is a route map for reference.
