The contractor Entsha Henra (Pty) Ltd was formally appointed by the Mossel Bay Municipality on Friday 5 April 2019, as the contractors that will install the shared interim basic services (IBS) to all of the 23 informal settlement areas that form part of the Mossel Bay UISP Project!

The employer’s agent is currently busy drafting the details of acceptance letter after which the contractor will need to furnish guarantees within 14 days.  The employer’s agent will then evaluate and approve the guarantees after which the contractor will receive right to access and a formal instruction to commence with the work on site.

The provision of shared interim basic services is the first step of the incremental upgrading process.  The funding for the provision of Interim Basic Services that has already been approved by the Western Cape Department of Human Settlements will include the following:

• Rehabilitation to render existing interim shared basic services functional in all the areas.
• Additional and / or replacement interim shared basic services infrastructure to meet the shortfalls as identified during the investigations.
