Request for Expressions of Interest For Consulting Services Pilot Programme for Supporting up-scaled Mitigation Actions in Perus

Solid Waste Sector under the Nordic Partnership Initiative


Background
According to the Bali Action Plan, developing countries should consider the implementation of Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) in a measurable, reportable and verifiable (MRV) manner. The Copenhagen Accord as well as the Cancun and Durban Agreements further reinforced the notion, stating that NAMAs seeking international support shall be recorded in a registry and subject to international MRV. In 2010, the Nordic Working Group for Global Climate Negotiations (NOAK) and the Nordic Environment Finance Corporation (NEFCO) launched the Nordic Partnership Initiative on Upscaled Mitigation Action (NPI) to explore and demonstrate how international climate finance can be matched with up-scaled mitigation plans in developing countries. The first step of the NPI was a Feasibility Study to examine the potential and options for designing and implementing a Pilot Programme for NAMAs in two potential partner countries and sectors; in Peru on the solid waste and in Vietnam on the energy efficiency in cement industry. The NPI initiative was endorsed in COP17 in Durban by ministers or vice-ministers from Peru, Vietnam and four Nordic countries. Background is available at http://www.nefco.org/en/financing/nordic_partnership_initiative The next step is a Pilot Programme in both countries, with the aim to improve readiness for both carbon market and other support mechanisms through technical and financial assistance. Readiness activities should address relevant barriers to up-scaled mitigation as well as gaps in knowledge, data availability, institutional capacity etc. As a result of the Pilot Programme, the host country should be able to prepare and implement a full-scale scheme of a clearly specified NAMA in accordance with the Cancun, Durban and any future Agreements which could attract international climate finance through the carbon market and/or other international climate financial sources.

Pilot Programme in Peru


The overarching aim of the Pilot Programme is to improve Perus readiness to benefit from international climate finance and/or the carbon market for supporting up-scaled mitigation action in the waste sector. The NAMA readiness activities shall address gaps in data availability and quality and technical and institutional capacity, as well as relevant technical, financial and other barriers to up-scaled mitigation and private sector engagement. The two-year Pilot Programme will be initialized through preparatory works and it shall consist of three major phases: 1) Establishment of a comprehensive waste inventory; 2) Establishment of a national waste management strategy; and 3) Establishment of at least one detailed NAMA option. The Pilot Programme will be jointly implemented by the Ministry of Environment (MINAM) of Peru and NEFCO. However, NEFCO will be the contracting authority for the envisaged consultancy services assignment. For its support in the implementation of the Programme, NEFCO intends to select and employ an international consulting firm (or association of firms) using Qualityand Cost-Based Selection (QCBS) method among not more than six (6) shortlisted firms (or associations of firms). The consulting services contract will be financed by NEFCO using its Nordic Environmental Development Fund and the Nordic governments.

Request for Expressions of Interest


NEFCO now requests eligible firms or associations of firms 1 who have the required skills, capacity and qualifications, to submit their Expressions of Interest to be requested to submit proposals for the services. Tentative description of the services can be found in the Draft Terms of Reference Interested firms may obtain further information at the address below during office hours. Firms from any country are eligible to submit proposals and be awarded the contract for the services. Furthermore, there are no country-of-origin restrictions regarding the sub-consultants (firms or individuals) or the staff of the consulting firms. The firms submitting proposals or participating in a proposal as a joint-venture partner or subconsultant shall not have conflict of interest 2 and they shall not be under sanction or suspension by any International Financing Institution, any Nordic government or the Government of Peru, due to integrity violations, poor performance, money laundering, financing of terrorist activities or other reasons. Government-owned entities shall be eligible only if they can establish that they are legally and financially autonomous, and operate under principles of the commercial law of their respective countries. The Expression of Interest should demonstrate the financial and staff capacity of the firm(s) and the competence and experience to undertake an assignment of this nature and size (brochures, description of similar assignments, experience in similar conditions, availability of appropriate skills among staff, etc.). Regarding the financial capacity, the firm, or in case of association of firms the lead firm, shall during each of the last three fiscal years have had a turnover of not less than EUR 5 million. Firms should indicate their main place of business (place of incorporation or registration) and sales turnover for the last three fiscal years, with audited financial statements. Accounts are not required at this stage, but evidence of financial standing will be sought at the next stage. At this stage the firms are neither supposed to propose key persons for implementation of the services nor submit CVs of personnel. A maximum of six (6) qualified firms will be shortlisted from among the ten (10) firms scoring highest in the evaluation of the Expressions of Interest. In the evaluation, maximum points for three areas of competence 3 shall be as follows: Management Competence: 20 points Technical Competence: 70 points Geographic/Linguistic Competence: 10 points

In the formulation of the shortlist, geographic diversity, client references and some other criteria may be applied in addition to the total competence scores of the firms. The shortlisted firms will not be allowed to associate with each other after the shortlisting.

The association of firms can be in the form of a Joint Venture (joint and several liability) or a sub-consultancy arrangement.

For example, firms that have previously been involved in consultancy tasks related to the Peru component of the NPI activities are not eligible to be awarded this contract.

Competence will be evaluated as a combination of experience, skills and capacity. In case of a Joint Venture, each partners competence will be given equal weight while in case of sub-consultancy arrangements the weight of the competence of the lead firm shall be double the total competence of all sub-consultants (67/33).
