Tender Details

Expression of Interest are invited for Identifying and Mapping Off-Shore Wind and Wave Energy Potential in Turkey.

Project Description:

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development ("EBRD" or the "Bank") is interested to support the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources on exploring the off-shore wind and wave energy potential of Turkey. With this assignment the aim is to update and upgrade the existing wind energy potential atlas extending to off-shore all around Turkey and to create a wave energy potential atlas. In addition to the atlases, there is potential to review different setbacks requirements for wind turbines in the countries that have significant experience with wind energy.


Assignment Description:

EBRD intends to engage a consultant (the "Consultant") to undertake the following tasks:

· To identify the off-shore wind energy potential in Turkey, conduct a market assessment regarding off-shore wind technology and review challenges, risks and opportunities in construction and operation phases of off-shore wind farms;

· To prepare a cost breakdown and investment analysis of potential off-shore wind farms in Turkey.

· To improve the existing renewable energy potential atlases of Turkey by using main meteorological inputs and base maps to be provided. The atlases to be developed will include:

o Wind Energy Potential Atlas (REPA) including both on-shore and off-shore potential in Turkey; A pilot study on the off-shore wind potential of a selected region in the country will precede the full study;

o Wave Energy Potential Atlas (DEPA) identifying the energy potential arising from waves, current and thermal cycle in Turkey-s seas.

· To develop a methodology to define setbacks for all type of wind energy power plants in Turkey based on EU regulations and taking best practices in the world into account.

The study does not foresee and require any measurements or potential project site visits.

Selection Method and Evaluation Criteria:

1. Technical Proposal Evaluation Criteria

(a) Firm's previous project experience in similar assignments (40%)

(b) Quality of the methodology proposed for the Assignment (20 %)

(c) CVs of the Key Experts (40%).

The minimum technical score (St) required to pass is 70.


2. Opening of Financial Proposals

After the technical evaluation is completed, only the submissions which score 70 or above of the total marks available for the technical criteria will be eligible to have their financial proposals opened.

3. Combined Technical and Financial Evaluation

The lowest evaluated Financial Proposal (Fm) is given the maximum financial score (Sf) of 100. The formula for determining the financial scores (Sf) of all other Proposals is calculated as follows:

Sf = 100 x Fm/ F, in which “Sf” is the financial score, “Fm” is the lowest evaluated Financial Proposal, and “F” the price of the Proposal under consideration.

Proposals are then ranked according to their combined technical (St) and financial (Sf) scores using the weights (T = 80; F = 20) T + F = 100 as follows: S = St x T% + Sf x F%.


Important Notes:

1. The proposal validity period is 120 days from the deadline date for the receipt of submissions. During this period, the Consultant shall maintain its original Proposal without any change, including the availability of the Experts, the proposed rates and the total price.

In the event of changes consultants will need to download the updated versions. Consultants are required to periodically check the notice for updates. Failure to take the updates into account while preparing the Proposal may result in disqualification or penalties to the scores in the evaluation.
