4. The Ministry Of Agriculture And Forestry – General Directorate of Food and Control now invites eligible consulting firms (“Consultants”) to indicate their interest in providing the Services. Interested Consultants should provide information demonstrating that they have the required qualifications and relevant experience to perform the Services.

5. A consulting firm is allowed to submit the expression of interest alone if it considers itself to be fully qualified on its own for the assignment, as it is not mandatory for consultants to associate with any other firm(s), whether foreign or local. Alternatively, if consultants themselves choose to associate to enhance their qualifications and capability for the assignment, then such associations may either be as a Joint Venture (i.e. all members of the joint venture shall be jointly and severally responsible) and/or Sub-consultants (i.e. the Consultant will be responsible, including for the services of the sub-consultant). In case of an association, the Consultants must explain in the EOI submission (a) the rationale for forming the association and (b) the anticipated role and relevant qualifications of each member of the Joint Venture and/or of each sub-consultant for carrying out the assignment, to justify the proposed inclusion of the JV members and/or sub-consultants in the association. Failure to provide the above explanation in the Expression of Interest may risk the association not being selected for the assignment. Please note that in the evaluation of EOIs of associations for selecting purposes, only the qualifications of the JV members will be taken into account whereas the qualifications of proposed sub-consultants will not be considered.

6. The selection criteria are as follows, in which specific experience of the Consultant relevant to the assignment will be considered of paramount importance:

i) General Experience of the Consultant (as a firm) in providing consultant services:

• Experience in successful completion of projects financed by international financing institutions within last 10 years prior to deadline for submission of interests.

(ii) Specific Experience of the Consultant (as a firm) relevant to the assignment in providing similar services under contracts of comparable size:

• Experience in construction supervision services that are similar to the required services in size similarity, and complexity preferably under the World Bank finance, in the last 10 years.
• Experience in design or construction supervision services for BSL 2 and/or BSL3 laboratories in the last 10 years.

7. To demonstrate their qualifications and experience in meeting the above selection criteria, Consultants are requested to submit, at a minimum, the supporting documentation listed below. A consultant firm can only use its own qualifications and experience and not of its parent, sister or subsidiary companies or its employees.

• The firm's incorporation/trade/registration documents issued by the concerned government authority of the country of the firm.
• The firm’s company brochures including the core areas of business; and
• Completed Form-1 (attached to this Request for Expression of Interest) to provide information of similar contracts. This should include the name and reference number of the contract, brief description of the scope of work, contract amount, period of the contract, name of the client and country of assignment, and role of the Consultant in the contract. Copies of completion certificates/references of Clients of completed contracts are not required to be submitted with the EoI. In the subsequent stage at the time of submission of proposals, the Client may request the selected consultants to submit such supporting completion certificates.

8. The attention of interested Consultants is drawn to (i) paragraphs 3.16 & 3.17 of the World Bank’s Procurement Regulations for IPF Borrowers: Procurement in Investment Project Financing (Goods, Works, Non-Consulting and Consulting Services) (Fourth Edition, November 2020) setting forth the World Bank's policy on conflict of interest.
