As part of the response to this TOR, the bidding consultant must provide a methodology of execution which takes into account that Phase 1 is to be seen as an introductory task, while Phase 2 being a follow-on, may only be carried out if there is an investment decision intention.
The methodology broken down into Phase 1 and Phase 2 actions, is to be attached as a separate section / item under the technical envelope for evaluation and if awarded will be an annex to the contract.
The methodology is expected to contain a timing plan as part of its make-up; a clear plan on the approach on how the Consultant will access the appropriate stakeholders, as well as how the Consultants will collect any necessary data relevant for the assignment and Key Personnel.
GIZ intends to engage a consultancy firm with experience in undertaking studies for electrification using renewable energy or of a similar nature and complexity as the TOR expectations. The Consultant shall provide a team of competent experts with extensive experience from similar projects.
