SINT MAARTEN — The National Recovery Program Bureau (NRPB) is inviting construction companies to express interest in works under the Sint Maarten Wastewater Management Project (SWMP).
The project aims to improve sanitation services, strengthen wastewater infrastructure and support more sustainable wastewater management in Sint Maarten. The proposed works are expected to contribute to improved public health and sanitation, help protect the natural environment, and improve the overall quality of life in the communities served. As part of these efforts, NRPB is moving forward with the construction of a sewage network expansion in Cul de Sac, covering parts of South Reward, St. Peters, Retreat Estate and Betty’s Estate.
A Request for Expressions of Interest (REOI) was issued on October 29 for the proposed works, which are divided into three lots. In total, they cover around 11 kilometers of sewer network pipelines, and 860 private household connections, with an indicative estimated value of US$16.5 million.
At this stage, companies are being asked to provide information about their qualifications, relevant experience and capacity to carry out the works. Construction companies can express interest in one or more lots, depending on their experience and capacity.
Local contractors are encouraged to explore opportunities through joint ventures and specialist subcontracting arrangements.
Interested companies can access further information through the NRPB Bonfire procurement portal at https://nrpbsxm.bonfirehub.com/opportunities/260605.
The deadline for Expressions of Interest is 1700 AST Tuesday November 24, 2026.
The Sint Maarten Wastewater Management Project is implemented by the NRPB on behalf of the Ministry of Public Housing, Spatial Planning, Environment and Infrastructure (VROMI). It is funded by the Sint Maarten Trust Fund, financed by the Government of the Netherlands as well as the Government of Sint Maarten and administered by the World Bank.
