Kalangala Infrastructure Services Ltd ("KIS") is a multi-utility public private partnership operating on Bugala Island, Kalangala District, Uganda. The company provides daily ferry services between Bugala Island and the mainland, distributes electricity and supply treated water on Bugala Island, Kalangala District. KIS also implemented the main island road component, which was handed over to the Government of Uganda for maintenance in 2016.

KIS was established to address the infrastructure constraints that had historically limited economic and social development on Bugala Island. The integrated model was designed to combine transport access, power supply and safe water services in a manner that would unlock island mobility, trade, tourism, agriculture, fisheries, public administration, health, education, and private investment. These services were to be dependable, affordable on commercial basis, and environmentally friendly.

Under its Electricity and Water business segments, KIS is encountering reliability constraints, including regulated tariffs, losses, customer growth challenges, operational cost pressures, and low consumption, all of which limit revenue growth.

It is against this background that the company has set aside funds to procure a reputable, independent consulting firm to undertake a comprehensive business, financial, operational, technical and regulatory review of its Water and Electricity business segments, and to recommend the most appropriate strategic course of action for each segment.

The assignment must be data-driven, independent, options-based, and implementation-oriented. It must produce analysis and recommendations that are sufficiently detailed to support Management's recommendation and enable Board, shareholder, Government, and regulatory engagement where required.
