Tender Details

Request for proposals are invited for Lesotho II Human Resources (HR) Recruitment Services.

1. The Government of the Kingdom of Lesotho (“Government”) has applied for grant funding from the Millennium Challenge Corporation (“MCC”), called a Compact (the “Compact”), and intends to apply a part of the proceeds of that funding to payments for contracts for goods, works and services. The Government has formed a Compact Development Team (CDT) led by the CEO, Lesotho Millennium Development Agency (“LMDA”), for the purpose of developing the Compact. To support these activities, MCC and the Government also entered into a grant agreement, dated February 20, 2019 (as amended or otherwise modified, the “Agreement”), whereby MCC granted to the Government an amount not to exceed nine million, seven hundred forty thousand U.S. Dollars (US$9, 740, 000) under the authority of Section 609(g) of the Millennium Challenge Act of 2003, as amended (the “Act”), to facilitate the development and implementation of a proposed Compact between the United States of America, acting through MCC, and the Government to help accelerate economic growth and poverty reduction in Lesotho. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Compact, the Agreement, related agreements, and the availability of funds, the Government intends to use a portion of the funds for the Human Resources (HR) Recruitment Services, a form of which is attached to this Request for Proposals (“RFP”) in Section VI.
2. In issuing this RFP, the Government is represented by the Lesotho Millennium Development Agency (“LMDA”), a parastatal established in accordance with the laws of Lesotho. LMDA will continue to represent the Government in matters related to the Compact and the Agreement until such time as the Government establishes the Millennium Challenge Account-Lesotho II (“MCA-Lesotho II”) to serve as the accountable entity for implementing the Compact. Prior to the establishment of MCA-Lesotho II, (i) any references to actions taken or rights received on behalf of MCA-Lesotho II in this RFP, including in the Form of Contract, shall mean actions taken or received by LMDA and (ii) any references herein to MCA-Lesotho II shall be deemed to mean LMDA during this period.
MCC is a U.S. government agency focused on assisting countries dedicated to good governance, economic freedom, and investments in people. The proposed Compact includes investment from MCC of approximately US $350 million and a contribution of approximately $26.25 million from the Government. For details, please refer to Annex II of the Compact and Annex III of the Program Implementation Agreement to be entered into between MCC and the Government. MCC website to these documents are available through the following link: https://assets.mcc.gov/content/uploads/compact-lesotho-health-and-horticulture.pdf

3. The Compact consists of four (4) proposed projects:

• The Health Systems Strengthening Project will focus on strengthening key elements of the PHC system in Lesotho, such as increasing the capacity of Lesotho-s Ministry of Health (MOH) and ten health districts, fortifying the patient registration and referral systems, improving staff clinical competencies and supervision, integrating budgeting and financial reporting systems, and increasing coordination across all levels of health care staff.
• The Market Driven Irrigated Horticulture Project will focus on making a catalytic investment in irrigation in partnership with commercial investment, providing local capacity building and technical assistance, and supporting reforms in land, water and gender with the expectation that these interventions will spur sustainable and inclusive private sector growth and investment in the horticulture sector.
• The Business Environment and Technical Assistance Project will focus on inclusive, sustainable private sector growth in Lesotho to be stimulated by creating a robust pipeline of businesses and facilitating a public-private dialogue in which these private sector actors can engage with the Government and the Government can respond.
• The American Catalyst Facility for Development Project will focus on activities within the Compact Term and align with the objectives and activities of the Program. Success will be measured by (a) ACFD Project funding expended; (b) DFC funding leveraged and (c) additional private sector funding leveraged (e.g., Lesotho Pension Fund, commercial banks, impact investors).

4. LMDA requires the services of a Consultant for Human Resources (“HR”) Recruitment Services for a base period of nine (9) months at a fixed price. Thereafter, the MCA-Entity will require an option period of 15 months at a fixed price. The estimated budget of the assignment is $700, 000.

5. This Request for Proposal, the RFP, follows the General Procurement Notice that appeared in dgMarket on August 29, 2022, UNDB Online on August 25, 2022 and Local Newspaper on August 26, 2022.

6. LMDA now invites proposals from legally constituted consulting firms and other organizations to provide the Human Resources (HR) Recruitment services (“Proposals”). More details on these services are provided in the Terms of Reference in Section V of this RFP.
