BACKGROUNDIn 2023, the European Union (EU) has launched a project entitled “Disaster management, Port and Maritime reform for economic recovery” that is implemented by the United Nations Development Programme. This project aims at mitigating the impacts of the current crisis while supporting a people centered recovery and improving human rights through strengthening relevant systems and reinforcing the role of civil society in line with the priorities outlined in the Reform, Recovery and Reconstruction Framework (3RF) for Lebanon.
The Project Aims At Contributing To a Secure And Safe Environment In Lebanon Through Accountable Institutions. In Particular, The Interventions Will Contribute To Achieving The Following Outcomes
- Reinforcing governance and effectiveness in the management of port and maritime affairs, in line with the rule of law and international conventions.
- Strengthening Disaster Management.
The project also seeks to strengthen the institutional, technical, and operational capacities of relevant national authorities and security agencies involved in maritime safety, security, emergency preparedness, and response. It supports improved inter-agency coordination, enhanced operational readiness, and the provision of specialized equipment and technical assistance to enable national institutions to carry out their respective mandates more effectively.
Within this framework, the project provides targeted support to the Internal Security Forces (ISF), particularly its Information Department, to strengthen its maritime operational capabilities. The Information Department relies on rigid inflatable boats (RIBs), including these boats, to carry out its assigned missions at sea. Ensuring the safety, functionality, and operational readiness of these vessels is therefore essential to enabling the Department to effectively fulfill its mandate and maintain its maritime operational capacities.
To this end, the project is supporting the inspection, repair, and rehabilitation of the ISF's RIBs. The required inspections and repair aim to restore these vessels to a safe, functional, and operational condition, enabling the ISF Information Department to resume and effectively carry out its missions at sea.
Given the specialized technical nature of the repairs, a National Technical Consultant will be engaged to support the evaluation of bids and to verify that the equipment and spare parts delivered and installed on the ISF’s RIBs conform to the requirements set out in the RFQ.
