📋 Tender Overview
The National Rural Sanitation Program (PNSR) of the Ministry of Housing, Construction and Sanitation began the process of socialization and subscription of the 2026 Interinstitutional Cooperation Agreements with 958 prioritized local governments, with the objective of strengthening water purification in rural areas and ensuring access to safe water for more than 2 million Peruvians.
This intervention is part of Axis 3 of the Potability Activity, which seeks to guarantee that drinking water service providers in rural areas have essential inputs for chlorination, such as calcium hypochlorite and DPD reagents, essential to ensure the quality of water for human consumption.
As part of this process, during the month of March, training and technical assistance workshops were held in person and virtually, aimed at mayors, those responsible for the Municipal Technical Areas (ATM) and administrative staff. In person, the sessions were held at the Citizen Assistance Center (CAC) in Puno, with the participation of 55 representatives of municipalities; while, at the national level, 1,038 representatives were trained virtually.
During these sessions, detailed information was provided about the guidelines, commitments and procedures for signing the agreement, as well as its implementation. In addition, the use of the digital signature was promoted as a key tool to streamline administrative processes, reduce transfer costs and guarantee greater security in the formalization of agreements.
Within the framework of these agreements, local governments assume a fundamental role, committing to manage the acquisition, storage and distribution of chlorination supplies, as well as to monitor residual chlorine, keep the DATASS application updated and periodically report physical and financial progress. For its part, the PNSR will provide training, technical assistance and permanent support, in addition to supervising and evaluating compliance with the established goals.
These actions strengthen the coordinated work between the National Government and local governments, allowing the management of rural drinking water systems to be optimized and contributing to improving the quality of life of approximately 2,096,935 rural inhabitants, who will be able to access safer and quality water services.
The agreements will be valid for one year, a period during which training, monitoring and evaluation activities will be carried out on the performance of the participating municipalities.
