OVERVIEW

The Government of Saint Lucia (GOSL) has received financing from the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) towards the cost of the Education Quality Improvement Project (EQuIP) and 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 GOSL 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 GOSL shall derive any rights from the Financing Agreement or have any claim to the proceeds of the Financing.

The Department of Education, Innovation and Gender Relations, the Executing Agency, is now seeking to engage consultancy services to review and amend where necessary the Education Act and its subsidiary legislation.

The objective of this consultancy service is to assist GOSL in further enhancement of the regulatory framework of an inclusive education sector. The consultancy will involve the review of, and possible amendment to, the Education Act of 2005 and subsidiary legislation, and full articulation of the regulations that govern the system.

The duration of the assignment is expected to be for a maximum of 90 person-days over a period of twelve (12) months.

The consulting firm shall possess experience in the rendering of consultancy services which entail the application of professional qualifications or skills in Organizational Assessment; Educational Planning, Leadership and Management, and/or Education and the Law - particularly as it relates to development and interpretation of legislation. Knowledge of the education system in Saint Lucia and the Region would be an asset.

The Department of Education, Innovation and Gender Relations now invites interested eligible consulting firms to submit Expressions of Interest for the provision of these consultancy services.

2. in the case of unincorporated firms, the persons are citizens or bona fide residents of an eligible country; and

3. in all cases, the consultant has no arrangement and undertakes not to make any arrangements, whereby any substantial part of the net profits or other tangible benefits of the contract will accrue or be paid to a person not a citizen or bona fide resident of an eligible country.

Eligible countries are member countries of CDB.

The attention of interested Consultants is drawn to paragraph 1.9 of CDB-s Guidelines for the Selection and Engagement of Consultants (2011), setting forth CDB-s policy on conflict of interest.
