Tender Details

Expression of Interest are invited for Development of a Gender-Sensitive Early Identification System to Address Children and Youth at-Risk in the Education System.

The Government of Grenada (GOGR) has received financing from the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) in an amount equivalent to USD$15.533 million towards the cost of the Grenada Education Enhancement Project (GEEP) - Phase I. GOGR 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 GOGR 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 GOGR shall derive any rights from the Financing Agreement or have any claim to the proceeds of the Financing.

The Ministry of Education and Human Resource Development (MOEHRD), the Executing Agency, through its Project Management Unit (PMU), now wishes to procure consultancy services to develop a system that will assist in the early identification of students at-risk of failing in both the education system and the wider society.

The objective of the consultancy is to assist GOGR in developing an effective Early Identification System (EIS) to address the learning needs of vulnerable and at-risk students and to improve learning outcomes of all students. The duration of the assignment is expected to be for approximately 100 person days over a period of nine months, commencing July 2019.

MOEHRD now invites interested eligible consulting firms to submit Expressions of Interest for the provision of these consultancy services.
