TITLE: RECRUITMENT OF A FIRM/DESIGN OFFICE FOR THE CONDUCT OF FEASIBILITY STUDIES AND SUPERVISION OF THE CONSTRUCTION, DEVELOPMENT AND EQUIPMENT PROJECT OF THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE NATIONAL COMPANY OF RAILWAYS OF GUINEA

Conakry, August 2024

CONTEXT OF THE MISSION

The Société Nationale des Chemins de Fer de Guinée – SNCFG SAU is a Single-Member Public Limited Company with a Board of Directors created by decree D/108/PRG/CNDD/SGPRG/2010 of May 28, 2010 and whose statutes were set by decree D/2023/0208/PRG/CNRD/SGG of September 23, 2023.

Placed under the technical supervision of the Ministry of Transport and the financial supervision of the Ministry of Finance, the SNCFG’s mission is to implement the Government’s policy in terms of design, study, financing, construction, organization, management, operation of rail infrastructure for the transport of goods and passengers and to ensure its monitoring. These infrastructures may be granted to rail operating companies or operated in joint ventures with other rail operators.

Built before independence, the building serving as the Company’s headquarters is in a state of advanced disrepair. Since its construction in colonial times to the present day, this building of the former Kaloum station master has only undergone two summary renovations. Beyond its unfavorable state, its architectural plan no longer meets hygiene and safety standards, and its reception capacity is below needs. This deplorable situation has prompted the General Management to temporarily take a room serving as an office to provide staff with suitable working conditions, while waiting for the construction of a headquarters.

The new statutes of the SNCFG give it a leading and significant role in the development of railways in Guinea.

It is with this in mind that the Ministry of Transport, in accordance with the reforms undertaken by the Government as part of the re-establishment of the State by the CNRD, has undertaken to provide the SNCFG with a worthy headquarters, to enable it to honour its strategic position.

Indeed, the National Company of Railways of Guinea has benefited from a budget for the 2024 financial year for the study phase of the construction, development and equipment project for its head office.

To do this, SNCFG intends to request the expertise of a firm/design office to carry out feasibility studies and monitor the implementation of the project to build its headquarters in Almamya, in the commune of Kaloum.
