Procurement Agent Services

Reference: LMDA/CD/C/04/2022

Desscription: manage the procurement process for selecting the suppliers, contractors and consultants that LMDA will contract to provide a broad range of goods, works and services and shall provide related contract administration services, in order to implement certain activities funded by the Millennium Challenge Corporation, pursuant to an agreement between the United States of America, acting through MCC, and the Kingdom of Lesotho

The Compact consists of four 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).

Contract Duration: Base period of at least twelve (12) months, plus five (5) 12-month option periods
