IFC invites qualified consulting firms or consortia to submit proposals to provide specialized advisory services in support of the design and implementation of Cali-s electric bus transition program. The assignment will support IFC, Metro Cali S.A. and the Municipality of Cali in preparing the next phases of fleet renewal and electrification under the city-s new unbundled operating model, in which Metro Cali will own the bus assets and private operators will be responsible for operation and maintenance.The selected firm will be expected to provide multidisciplinary technical, institutional, financial, and contractual advisory support. This will include defining procurement-ready specifications for electric buses and charging infrastructure; assessing depot, charging, and grid readiness; developing total cost of ownership and financial analyses; strengthening Metro Cali-s institutional capacity to own and manage electric bus assets; and preparing commercial and contractual frameworks with OEMs, charging infrastructure providers, and bus operators.

Key outputs will include an inception report, technical and infrastructure assessment, financial analysis and TCO model, institutional capacity and training plan, contractual assessment and templates, and a final consolidated report.
