MCCU Procurement Ref: 540100
1. The Government of Sierra Leone has established the Millennium Challenge Coordinating Unit (“MCCU”) as an autonomous entity with independent legal authority to oversee, manage, and implement a Threshold Program funded by the Millennium Challenge Corporation (“MCC”). MCC is a U.S. government agency focused on assisting countries dedicated to good governance, economic freedom, and investments in people.
2. The MCC Threshold Program with Sierra Leone will provide up to $44.4 million to support significant policy reforms and improve governance in the water and electricity sectors. By establishing independent regulation, strengthening key institutions, and increasing transparency and accountability, the program seeks to create a foundation for the financially sustainable provision of essential water and electricity services, as well as limit opportunities for corruption in service delivery. The Threshold Program will run for up to four (4) years after the entry into force of the Millennium Challenge Account Threshold Program Grant Agreement (“Threshold Program Agreement”) which occurred in February 2016.
3. MCCU now invites qualification documents from individual consultants to provide the consultant services. More details on these consultant services are provided in the Request for Consultants Qualifications (RCQ) which incorporates the Terms of Reference (TOR). This procurement - open to all eligible individual consultants who wish to respond – is not for consulting firms. Submissions from consulting firms proposing professional staff as individual consultants shall be rejected.
4. MCCU intends to hire a Procurement Specialist (the “Consultant”). More details are provided in Annex 1 (Terms of Reference) of the RCQ.
5. Location: Freetown, Sierra Leone
6. Anticipated Start Date: August/September 2018
7. Duration of Assignment : 12 months, with possibility of extension for another 12 months.
8. Individual Consultants will be selected under the Individual Consultants Selection (ICS) method in accordance with the procedures set out in the MCC Program Procurement Guidelines which are provided on the MCC website (www.mcc.gov/ppg). The selection process, as described, will include a review and verification of qualifications and past performance, including a reference check, prior to the contract award.
9. Procedure: MCCU will evaluate the Qualifications using the criteria provided in Annex 2 of the RCQ. The Consultant that attains the highest score (who also attains the minimum technical score required to pass) shall be invited for negotiations.
10. Consultants interested in receiving the full RCQ and submitting Qualifications should register their interest by sending an e-mail (with subject: Request for Procurement Specialist RCQ) to the Procurement Consultant on franklin@ebmse.com, giving full contact details of the Consultant.
