Overview :
A. Project Background
Protect human health and the environment from unintentional releases of POPs originating from incineration and open burning of health care- and electronic waste (MEWM project).
Required Service:
Repackaging, shipment and safe disposal of about 36000 Cathode Ray Tube Monitors (667 ton) at Alexandria, Dekheila, Damietta, Port Said, Suez, Safaga and Aswan ports.
B. Project Description
The Protect human health and the environment from unintentional releases of POPs originating from incineration and open burning of health care- and electronic waste”. project is
Implemented by the Egyptian Ministry of Environment in collaboration with United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF). The project
objective is to prevent and reduce health and environmental risks related to POPs and harmful chemicals through their release reduction achieved by provision of an integrated
institutional and regulatory framework covering environmentally sound Health Care Waste and E-waste management. The project will reduce emissions of Unintentional POPs (UPOPs) as well
as other hazardous releases (e.g. mercury, lead, etc.) resulting from the unsound management, disposal and recycling of a) Health-Care Waste (HCW), in particular due to substandard
incineration practice and open burning of HCW; and, b) Electronic Waste (EW), in particular due to the practice of unsound collection and recycling activities and open burning of
electronic waste.
The project will achieve this by: i) determining the baseline for releases of UPOPs and other hazardous substances (e.g. mercury, lead) resulting from unsound HCW and E-waste practices;
ii) conducting facility assessments; iii) building capacity among key stakeholders; iv) implementing BEP at selected model hospitals, health-care facilities (HCFs) and a central
treatment facility (CTF); v) introducing BAT and BEP to formal and informal E-waste processors; vi) preparing health care facilities for the use/maintenance of non-mercury devices
followed by introduction of mercury-free devices; vii) evaluating facilities to ensure that they have successfully implemented BEP; viii) installing and evaluating BAT technology(ies)
at one Central Treatment Facility based on a defined evaluation criteria; and, xi) enhancing national HCWM training opportunities to reach out to additional hospitals/HCFs.
The project aims to support the disposal of a large number (about 36000 of Cathode Ray Tubes Monitors (667 ton) (of hazardous characteristics) stored at seven Egyptian ports namely:
Alexandria, Dekheila, Damietta, Port Said, Suez, Safaga and Aswan ports. List detailing the stored goods average quantities, average weight, storage conditions, legal status, size and
site locations are annexed to the TOR). The existence of these CRTs is posing a high risk to the staff working in these ports; especially that the ownership of most of them is difficult
to identify. Most of these CRTs have been in the custody of the above mentioned Ports Authorities for years. The “Protect Human health and the environment from unintentional releases
of POPs originating from incineration and open burning of health care- and electronic waste” Project is seeking contractors to conduct the repackaging, export and proper disposal of
these goods.

execution period.
4- Provide all personnel, equipment, tools, repacking materials etc. required for the repackaging and transportation operation.
5- Site Preparation and management
6- Classify the waste for the appropriate repackaging and final disposal.
7- Repackage the waste to ensure safe transport to the final disposal destination and loading of waste into Shipping Cargo Units (SCUs) of 20 & 40 standard cubic feet size for
shipment overseas
8- Maintain a logbook of the location and type of waste waiting to be transported to the final disposal
9- Complete all necessary documentation and procedures for export of hazardous wastes as per Basel Convention requirements including the detailed Prior Informed Consent (PIC) procedure
and place all financial guarantees with the competent authority of destination and transit on behalf of the Government and their designated agencies involved. (The Egyptian Custom
Authority will act as the Notifier on behalf of the government).
10- Load, transport and trans-frontier of the repackaged waste to the final disposal destination(s)
11- Produce a short documentary film demonstration the whole service starting from site preparation until final disposal.
12- Prepare final report and power point presentation containing a full documentary and photos of the Services in hard and electronic format.
D. Institutional Arrangement
The PMU of the MEWM project will directly supervise the work of the contractor, and the Service Provider who will be directly responsible for reporting to, seeking approval from, and
obtaining certificate of acceptance of output from the Project Manager of MEWM project.
The owner of the waste is the Customs General Authority which will be the notifier.
Security clearance and permits is required for the execution of the Work and to obtain site access. This matter should take approximately 1 month to complete and may the contractor be
asked to replace some of the working team
E. Duration of the Work
The expected duration of the services is eight calendar months starts from the signing of the contract.
F. Location of Work
The waste is in the custody of seven ports. Detailed Description of Each Site is annexed.
G. Qualifications of the Key Personnel
General experience
The waste (CRTs) located at the Sites is regarded as being toxic to humans. The Bidder shall therefore include staff members in his team who have considerable experience with
repackaging of hazardous materials including heavy metals and POPs chemical waste (potentially existing).
