Request for Expressions of Interest
Restructuring of the Vocational Training Corporation

This invitation for expressions of interest follows the general procurement notice for this project that appeared in the Development Business [on Friday, 8th august 2008].

The Ministry of Labour has received a loan from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), toward the cost of the Employer Driven Skills Development Project and it intends to apply part of the proceeds of this loan to payments under the contract for the Restructuring of the Vocational Training Corporation.

The services will achieve the fundamental reform and restructuring of the Vocational Training Corporation to transform it into a new autonomous organization founded on a mandate, legal framework, governance, management and organizational structure and a new employer-driven business and training service delivery model. The Assignment will be of approximately 26 months’ duration, beginning January 2009. The Firm is expected to take an integrated approach to the assignment with a designated team of 4-6 long-term technical experts working as ‘the support team’ alongside designated incumbents ‘the counterpart team’ responsible for the key areas of reform (governance, organizational development, finance, human resources, management, training, industry liaison.) The assignment will include the development/confirmation and implementation of the new models in a longitudinal 3-phased implementation process that will address the systemic reform of VTC headquarters and its Centres.

The Ministry of Labour now invites eligible consultants to indicate their interest in providing the services. Interested consultants must provide information indicating that they are qualified to perform the services (brochures, description of similar assignments, experience in similar conditions, availability of appropriate skills among staff, etc.).
The information should clearly indicate a narrative description of the assignments, contact details of the clients, contracts value and persons-months of key staff provided by the firm.

Expressions of interest may be submitted by individual firms or existing as well as proposed associations between consultants, e.g., joint ventures and sub-consultancies. Once the short-list is finalized, any association among short-listed firms may only be changed with the written approval of the Ministry of Labour. It is expected to short-list, for the assignment, a maximum of six firms or associations of firms. Only those short-listed firms will receive the Request For Proposals (RFP) with detailed Terms of Reference and be invited to submit technical and financial proposals. The RFP for the assignment is expected to be issued in [2nd Nov 2008]. Interested eligible Consultants for the assignment may obtain further information from the Ministry of Labour at the address given below. Expressions of Interest should be submitted within [14 days] from the date of this notice.

A consultant will be selected in accordance with [QCBS] and the procedures set out in the World Bank’s Guidelines: Selection and Employment of Consultants by World Bank Borrowers [Published by the bank in May 2004 and revised in October 2006].

Expressions of interest must be delivered to the address below by [26th Oct 2008].
