Tender Details

Expression of Interest are invited for Consultancy Services for Macroeconomic Adviser.
The Government of Suriname (GOS) has received financing from the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) towards the cost of Technical Assistance for the Institutional Strengthening of the Ministry of Finance, Suriname and intends to apply a portion of the proceeds of this financing to eligible payments under a contract for which this invitation is issued. Payments by CDB will be made only at the request of GOS and upon approval by CDB, and will be subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of the Financing Agreement. The Financing Agreement prohibits withdrawal from the financing account for the purpose of any payment to persons or entities, or for any import of goods, if such payment or import, to the knowledge of CDB, is prohibited by a decision of the United Nations Security Council taken under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations. No party other than GOS shall derive any rights from the Financing Agreement or have any claim to the proceeds of the Financing.
GOS, the Executing Agency, now wishes to procure consultancy services for a Macroeconomic Adviser.
The objective of the consultancy is to support the institutional strengthening of the Ministry of Finance (MOF), Suriname. Specifically this TA entails: (a) providing technical advice to the Minister of Finance and, by extension, the Cabinet on macroeconomic policy issues in general, and specifically on how best to achieve the goals and objectives of GOS-s reform programme; (b) enhancing skills of technical staff within MOF; and (c) strengthening MOF-s capabilities to guide the implementation of critical reforms to support the achievement of key medium-term macroeconomic results. The duration of the assignment is expected to be for a period of twenty-four (24) months.
GOS now invites interested eligible individual consultants to submit Expressions of Interest indicating qualifications and experience required to provide these consultancy services.
Consultants shall be eligible to participate if:
· the persons are citizens or bona fide residents of an eligible country; and
· in all cases, the consultant has no arrangement and undertakes not to make any arrangements, whereby any substantial part of the net profits or other tangible benefits of the contract will accrue or be paid to a person not a citizen or bona fide resident of an eligible country.
Eligible countries are member countries of CDB
The attention of interested Consultants is drawn to paragraph 1.9 of CDB-s Guidelines for the Selection and Engagement of Consultants (2011), setting forth CDB-s policy on conflict of interest.
In the assessment of submissions, consideration will be given to qualifications and experience on similar assignments. All information must be submitted in Dutch and English but in the case of any discrepancies between the Dutch and English submissions the English version shall take precedent. Further information may be obtained from the first address below between 7:00 and 15:00 hours Monday to Friday.
Two hard copies of the Expressions of Interest must be received at the first address below no later than 15:00 hours local time on Monday, April, 30, 2018 and one hard copy must be sent simultaneously to CDB at the second address below. The sealed envelope containing each submission should include the name and address of the applicant and shall be clearly marked “Expression of Interest - Consultancy Services for Macroeconomic Adviser”.
Following the assessment of submissions, the most technically capable and appropriately experienced applicant will be invited to negotiate a contract to provide the consultancy services. GOS reserves the right to accept or reject late applications or to cancel the present invitation partially or in its entirety. It will not be bound to assign any reason for not engaging the services of any applicant and will not defray any costs incurred by any applicant in the preparation and submission of Expressions of Interest.
