1. Additional information not requested by IUCN should not be included in your Proposal and will not be taken into account in the evaluation.
2. Your proposal must remain valid and capable of acceptance by IUCN for a period of 90 calendar days following the submission deadline.
3. Withdrawals and Changes

You may freely withdraw or change your proposal at any time prior to the submission deadline by written notice to the IUCN Contact. However, in order to reduce the risk of fraud, no changes or withdrawals will be accepted after the submission deadline.

1. Evaluation of proposals
   1. Completeness

IUCN will first check your proposal for completeness. Incomplete proposals will not be considered further.

1. Technical Evaluation
   1. Scoring Method

Your proposal will be assigned a score from 0 to 10 for each of the technical evaluation criteria, such that ‘0’ is low and ‘10’ is high.

1. Minimum Quality Thresholds

Proposals that receive a score of ‘0’ for any of the criteria will not be considered further.

1. Technical Score

Your score for each technical evaluation criterion will be multiplied with the respective relative weight (see Section 4.4) and these weighted scores added together to give your proposal’s overall technical score.

1. Financial Evaluation and Financial Scores

The financial evaluation will be based upon the full total price you submit. Your financial proposal will receive a score calculated by dividing the lowest financial proposal that has passed the minimum quality thresholds (see Section 5.2.2) by the total price of your financial proposal.

Thus, for example, if your financial proposal is for a total of CHF 100 and the lowest financial proposal is CHF 80, you will receive a financial score of 80/100 = 80%

1. Total Score

Your proposal’s total score will be calculated as the weighted sum of your technical score and your financial score.

The relative weights will be:

Technical: 80%

Financial: 20%

Thus, for example, if your technical score is 83% and your financial score is 77%, you will receive a total score of 83 * 70% + 77 * 30% = 58.1% + 23.1% = 81.2%.

Subject to the requirements in Sections 4 and 7, IUCN will award the contract to the bidder whose proposal achieves the highest total score.

1. Explanation of procurement procedure

Terms of Reference for IUCN Consultancy

Title: Consultancy To Develop a Baseline Report for the MozWateR Programme in Mozambique

Objective of the Consultancy

The main purpose of this assignment is to measure MozWater project baselines for socio-economic and biophysical parameters that will be monitored and reported throughout the implementation of the project. It will cover all outcome and output areas as described in the project document. The information generated will aid in setting targets and mechanisms to track progress and performance in the implementation of the project.

The baseline study will focus on baseline data collection for a set of the indicators (SMART and gender-sensitive) outlined in the project result framework (see the file embedded below). The Consultant is expected to travel to Cabo Delgado Province (Rovuma, Messalo and Megaruma Basins) and Sofala & Manica Provinces (Búzi, and Púngue basins) of the field work component of the consultancy.

This consultancy has the following objective(s):

1. Undertake socio-economic baseline assessments of the key socio-economic indicators in the project results framework. The baseline assessment will include desktop review to identify existing baseline data for the project socio-economic indicators. For indicators that have no existing baseline data, the consultant will design and conduct a baseline assessment to generate the required information.

2. Undertake baseline assessment of the key the biophysical project indicators outlined in the results framework. The approach will include identification of already existing baseline information from various sources. Where there are indicators without existing baseline data, the consultant will design and conduct biophysical assessments to address the data gaps.

3.Conduct comprehensive assessments focusing on water management and governance, water security, climate risks and gender issues.

4. Based on the baseline values established by the socio-economic and biophysical assessments, set measurable, realistic and time-bound targets and intervention strategies for the project indicators.

5. Provide recommendations for project planning, including gender-responsive strategies, and facilitate informed decision-making through mapping of other players in the water sector and their project impacts.

6. Contribute to the finalization and/or refinement of the indicators – which should be gender-sensitive when appropriate – in the result framework as informed by the baseline study, with a view of fine-tuning the final list of indicators in the result framework to identify SMART indicators for the project and their relevance and applicability to each target basin.

7. Provide information about Nature based Solution techniques in practice or recommended to enhance the water resource management in the target basins.

8. Develop a detailed methodology and approach, sources of information and tools used to collect baseline data. Provide details as to how baseline data will be collected for the different socio-economic and biophysical indicators. The methodology should be as simple as possible, addressing only the key questions for the project. It should also collect the minimal amount of baseline data needed to address the various indicators so as to make monitoring simpler (“the need to know vs. want to know). These will feed into the development of MozWateR plan, including the Gender Action Plan.

The assessment will focus on:

1. Confirming the logical relationship between MozWater program activities and the proposed indicators.
2. Reviewing the scope of the proposed indicators to generate relevant, representative and reliable data.
3. Establishing baseline values for identified performance indicators.
4. Analyzing the socio-economic statuses of basin populations, their access to water and water education.
5. Map climate risks,
6. Identify gender-responsive recommendations for project planning, and produce a gender action plan
7. Map other players in the national water sector and their projects’ impacts for informed decision-making.
