Quick summary

Objectives: The key objective of the tender is to accelerate the adoption of regional energy standards for buildings and electrical equipment in select Caribbean countries: The Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Guyana, Jamaica, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago. These standards aim to promote energy resilience and sustainability by improving efficiency and integrating more renewable energy solutions. Expected outcomes include enhanced technical knowledge and capacity for standard development, a comprehensive action plan to implement and accelerate these standards, and a detailed needs assessment for updating existing standards or creating new ones based on the region's priorities.
Eligibility criteria: Eligible organizations are those registered consulting firms from any Member Country or Territory of the Inter-American Development Bank. This includes a broad spectrum of nations across Latin America, the Caribbean, North America, Europe, and Asia, such as Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Germany, and Japan, as well as territories like French Guiana and Puerto Rico. These consulting firms must have relevant experience and qualifications pertinent to the services being requested, which involves facilitating regional collaboration for energy standards, conducting baseline studies, and implementing action plans. A budget of US$150,000 is available for this consultancy to be executed over a period of seven months. The firms are required to submit expressions of interest via the BEO Portal by a specified deadline, ensuring that their business profiles include a Business Partner Number. Additionally, firms must prepare their submissions meticulously, encompassing background information, evidence of experience related to the provided services, and demonstration of their ability to fulfill the project scope. Joint ventures or consortia are permissible to enhance qualifications, provided one firm is nominated for communication and documentation responsibilities. However, no specific formats for the expression of interest submissions are dictated, granting flexibility to the applicants to highlight their experience creatively and effectively. The complexity of engagement requires a proficient understanding of the regional energy standards, issue-specific knowledge, and a strategic approach to driving the envisaged transformation across participating Caribbean nations. Firms must exhibit highly competent skills in stakeholder engagement, report drafting, and delivering strategic action plans to meet the tender's objectives successfully.
