Beschreibung der Beschaffung
The Gap Fund activities are organized into three main tracks:
1. Support to urban strategy development (WB);
2. Support for low-carbon, climate-resilient project development (WB and EIB/GIZ)
3. Partnership coordination, knowledge and information sharing among project preparation facilities and standardisation of early project preparation approaches (advocacy, outreach and coordination - WB and EIB/GIZ).
In Track 2 the Gap Fund receives requests for the preparation of climate resilient and low-carbon urban infrastructure projects, in which individual cities apply for technical assistance. EIB-GIZ Gap Fund"s Technical Secretariat assesses eligibility of the project ideas and selects the most eligible projects for support. For selected investment projects GIZ in close cooperation with the city administrations prepares Terms of Reference (ToR) in which the support services (so called "TA packages") to the individual cities are described in detail. These TA packages are implemented in the individual cities by an external consulting firm. Every assignment requires an individual approach to design suitable support modality and output.
GIZ is looking for a consulting firm to provide advisory to cities and municipalities worldwide in the preparation of climate mitigation or adaptation infrastructure projects in the energy sector. Until 2025 approximately 12 TA packages are to be implemented within the contract period (approximately 3 - 4 TA packages per year).
The amount and scope of a TA package for the individual city project is not set, but it is assumed that a single assignment will not exceed a period of one year with a budget in the range of 50,000 - 200,000 EUR.
The tender requires a deployment of short time experts up to 960 expert days. Implementation is scheduled for the period from January 2022 to November 2025.
