•	A brief explanation of the team composition and roles.
•	A description of how continuity will be ensured.
•	CVs of the proposed key experts (using Appendix 10).
Assessment criteria: to what extent:
•	The proposed team is suitable for the scope (see Terms of Reference: Appendix 5) of this lot.
•	The key experts demonstrate relevant seniority and experience.
•	The team combines sector knowledge and financial/economic appraisal capability.

•	Continuity and replacement arrangements are credible and proportionate.
•	The Contractor is likely to deploy a stable and workable team for recurring assignments.
Based on past experiences and pipeline development, most advisory Assignments have been in the Water &amp; Logistics sector, and more is foreseen in Energy &amp; Climate sector. Sector knowledge of ‘Water &amp; Logistic’ and ‘Energy &amp; Climate’ will therefore be more appreciated.</cbc:Description>
