The remuneration to the concessionaire will be made under the mechanism of Payment for Availability (PPD) of the service, subject to deductions for performance, where the State, through the MVCS, will assume 100% of the remuneration for the investment component.

The previous bidding process was unsuccessful last June, so PROINVERSION and the MVCS coordinated closely to launch this new call for tenders and to award the contract as soon as possible. For this reason, they are also working closely with the authorities of the Madre de Dios region, the province of Tambopata and the district of Las Piedras.
The Puerto Maldonado WWTP project comprises the construction, rehabilitation, expansion, operation and maintenance of the collection, treatment and disposal of municipal wastewater in the city of Puerto Maldonado.
Under the PPP scheme, the approach goes beyond construction, as it ensures the sustainability of the project in the long term, thus allowing adequate operation and maintenance of the primary collection and wastewater treatment system, with high quality standards, avoiding contamination of the Tambopata and Madre de Dios rivers.
The Puerto Maldonado WWTP is part of the MVCS strategy, which together with the Large Cities Project and the Stormwater Drainage Project to be executed under the public works modality, will allow it to close the gaps in drinking water, sewerage, wastewater treatment and stormwater drainage in Puerto Maldonado, benefiting more than 110,000 people.
