Single Stage Open Competitive Selection
Project Description:
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (the EBRD or the Bank) was approached by Ministry of Education (MoE) of Jordan to support preparation of a pilot PPP project to attract private sponsors develop public schools in Jordan. Jordan has around 7, 170 schools, of which about 3, 800 schools are run by the Ministry of Education providing education to 1.33 million students. Public schools in the country are overcrowded with more than 600 schools running on double shift, 830 schools being rented as well as suffering from deteriorating infrastructure, resulting in a sub-standard learning environment.
The EBRD would provide transaction advisory support to MoE to design and implement a pilot project comprising the Design, Build, Finance, Operate, Maintain and Transfer (“DBFOMT”) of up to 15 elementary and secondary schools under a PPP model, with an aim to replicate it across the country in phases. The schools are expected to be powered through renewable energy generation solution. The PPP scheme will include construction and facilities management for the schools, while the provision of all pedagogical services will remain within MoE-s responsibility. The pilot schools are prioritised in locations where existing schools are over-crowded, operate on a double-shift basis, and use sub-par rented properties.
Assignment Description:
EBRD intends to select and contract a consulting company (the Consultant) to provide the abovementioned transaction advisory regarding the implementation of the DBFOMT model. The Consultant should follow a two-phased approach for carrying out this assignment:
• Phase I - Due Diligence and Structuring will consist of a comprehensive diagnostic overview of the Project which entails conducting a technical, E&S, and commercial due diligence to assess the best options available to structure the partnership between the public and the private sector.
• Phase II - Transaction Implementation will conclude with the presentation of the Transaction Structure Report (“TSR”), which will identify potential commercial options and include recommendations on the structure and process for a successful Project.

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%.
