CONSULTING SERVICES FOR AN INDEPENDENT PROCUREMENT REVIEW

The Government of the Republic of Sierra Leone (hereinafter called “Borrower”) has received financing from the International Development Association (IDA)] (hereinafter called “The Grant”) toward the cost of Institutional Reform and Capacity Building Project (IRCBP). The Borrower intends to apply a portion of the funds to eligible payments under the contract for this Consultancy Service.

Under the World Bank's Procurement Guidelines, the World Bank (hereunto referred to as ‘The Bank’) is expected to assure itself that procurement and contracting for the (IRCBP) is carried out in accordance with the procedures specified in the Development Grant Agreement, the Project Appraisal Document (PAD) and the Project Implementation Manual (PIM). Only contracts awarded following such procedures are eligible for financing using the proceeds of the IBRD loans /IDA credits. The Bank carries out prior reviews and post reviews. An Independent Procurement Review (IPR) however, is carried out by independent consultants.

This Consultancy Service is for an Independent Procurement Review that assesses the procurement, contracting, and implementation processes and timeliness and appropriateness of procurement processes, procedures and practices enacted by the IRCBP or its beneficiary bodies to confirm their consistency with the PIM, the PAD and Grant Agreement.

The IRCBP now invites eligible consultants to indicate their interest in providing the services. Interested consultants must provide information indicating that they are qualified to perform the services (brochures, description of similar assignments, experience in similar conditions, availability of appropriate skills among staff, etc). Consultants may associate to enhance their qualifications.

The Consultancy Service is expected to span 8 weeks and interested Consultants must ensure that they are available to start work by 1 November 2006.

The Request for Proposal (RFP) that would be prepared based on this Request for Expressions of Interest will provide shortlisted consultants ONLY four weeks within which to submit their Technical and Financial Proposals.

A consultancy firm or firms (in the case of a joint venture) will be selected in accordance with the procedures set out in the World Bank’s Guidelines: Selection and Employment of Consultants by World Bank Borrower, May 2004.

Interested consultants may obtain further information at the address below from 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday.
