FSD Africa is looking to build out its panel of specialist consultants on whom it can call on for Development Impact (DI) and Gender advisory assignments or for draw-down (i.e., retained consultants) arrangements. This call for Expressions of Interest (EoI) is aimed at consultants with relevant skills and expertise in development impact planning and delivery, research and evaluation; and gender integration in financial development.
Expression of Interest
This call for EoI will allow the DI and gender teams to pre-qualify consultants, to facilitate procurement for assignments that are anticipated in the future. Terms and reference for those assignments will be sent out at the appropriate time.
Procurement of the Services is subject to a full international tender which requires a two-part process:
– In the first part, Expressions of Interest (EOI) are invited from qualifying firms in an open tender. This invitation is open for a minimum of 20 calendar days.
– In the second part, following a shortlisting process, FSD Africa will issue an Invitation to Tender to shortlisted firms.
A detailed Invitation to Tender document will be prepared by FSD Africa during the EOI phase.
For this exercise, FSD Africa is inviting EoIs from suitably qualified individual consultants in each or more of the areas specified under Section 3.
Please note – a fully costed proposal and/or detailed work plan is not required at this stage. Your EoI should contain:
– Your name and a full CV highlighting your area of expertise
– Your place of business
– A short statement (maximum 1 side of an A4) of why you believe you have the right qualifications to help FSD Africa in the stated area
– A short portfolio of relevant work and outputs
– A statement describing your availability, e.g.:
o Preferred length of assignments
o Willingness to travel
o Availability in the next 36 – 60 months
o Ability and access to work remotely
– Your current daily fee rate (in GBP or USD), applicable for at least 12 months – Any other information that you believe should be considered in the pre-qualification process
