Framework Agreement for Technical Experts

SUMMARY ABOUT THE PROJECT

Founded in 1985, Cowater International Inc. has built a global reputation for excellence in the world of management consulting in international development. Headquartered in Ottawa, Canada and with experience in more than 65 countries, Cowater has established itself as Canada's leading management consulting firm in international development.

Cowater International Inc. is implementing an upcoming project Women Empowerment and Political Participation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (WEPP-KP) project, which aims to increase the political participation and enjoyment of rights by women, particularly young and marginalised women and those at-risk, in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Pakistan. WEPP-KP has partnered with the KP Commission on the Status of Women (KPCSW) and the Social Welfare, Special Education and Women’s Empowerment Department (SW, SE & WED) in order to achieve the following intermediate outcomes:

Improved gender responsive and inclusive systems of governments, democratic institutions and civil society organizations (nationally and sub-nationally); and
Increased and equitable participation of women in democratic processes and public life, particularly young and marginalized women.

As the WEPP secretariat has a relatively small staff team, we will regularly outsource assignments to technical experts. In order to strengthen the efficiency and effectiveness of our ways of working and improve the quality of our work, we are currently seeking to establish a pool of technical experts who will be engaged under the terms of a framework agreement. This allows the project to draw down on technical expertise as an when required and remain flexible and responsive to the needs of our counterparts KPCSW and SW, SE & WED.

SUMMARY OF POSITION

- Applying for a framework agreement

We are currently recruiting technical experts to join a pool of consultants engaged under Framework Agreements with WEPP-KP. Application details are listed in section 6 below. Selected applicants will add to the existing pool of 4 experts. Please note, a framework agreement does not guarantee a consultant a minimum number of days work but rather, is a pre-agreement of rates and conditions in advance of a requirement for inputs.

- Applying for individual assignments

When the project has need for technical expert’s support, it will prioritise working with experts already engaged through a framework agreement.

When new consultancy work is planned, WEPP-KP will share terms of reference (TOR) with the pool of experts who will be invited to submit a written Expression of Interest (EOI). EOIs will be reviewed and an expert selected based on the criteria outlined in the TORs. An offer will be made to the selected expert and a simple tasking note addended to their framework agreement will be shared confirming the offer and acceptance of work as outlined in the TORs.

ToRs for technical work will only be advertised externally if no expert in the pool has the specific skills or experience required for the effective delivery of a given assignment, or no experts in the pool are available within the desired timeframe, or if there are specific donor requirements that oblige that the assignment to be advertised through open procurement.

- Time Schedule and Contract Duration

Framework agreements do not specify nor guarantee a fixed number of days of work per year.
Each Framework Agreement will be valid for two years. WEPP-KP will evaluate consultant performance for each piece of work and use this information as part of a yearly review of the efficacy of the Framework Agreements. WEPP-KP will also systematically offer consultants the opportunity to provide feedback on their experience working with WEPP-KP to ensure that we are constantly improving our approach. WEPP-KP reserves the right to at any point issue another call for applications for Framework Agreements if it deems the mix of skills and expertise to be insufficient to meet the project needs.

- Management

The overall relationship between the pool of experts and WEPP-KP will be managed by the project’s core team, under the leadership of the Project Manager and Team Leader, with the support of the WEPP-KP Gender Equality Advisor.

Each specific assignment will have an identified manager within WEPP-KP core team. They will be responsible for managing the selected consultant for that specific assignment, based on agreed project objectives, time frames and milestones.

- Consultancy Rates and Payment Schedule

The consultancy rates payable under the framework agreement will be capped at a maximum daily rate which will be agreed between WEPP-KP and the consultant. The daily fee rates will be agreed upon in the contracting stage and will be fixed in the framework agreement for the duration of the contract, regardless of the number of assignments that are undertaken through the framework agreement.

Consultants will invoice WEPP-KP based on the payment schedule laid out in each TOR.

Additional Information about the Framework Agreements:

- Are there any restrictions on who can apply?

Yes. Applicants should be individual consultants and/or self-employed. Consultants who are on framework agreements with WEPP-KP can still accept consultancy work from other agencies. However, we cannot offer a framework agreement to anyone who is contracted as a full-time employee by another organisation.

- If selected, can I still turn down work offered to me by WEPP-KP?

Yes. The framework agreement means that you would be within the pool of experts who will be offered an opportunity to submit an Expression of Interest for any technical consultancies planned by WEPP-KP. If you submit an EOI but then find you are unable to proceed, you may then decline the offer ahead of signing the tasking note addendum. This action will not affect your framework agreement or opportunities to take up future work with the project. The framework agreement is similar to a zero-hours contract, in which you are free to accept or refuse any assignments that are offered to you.

- Do I have to apply for a minimum number of consultancies each year?

No, there is no minimum. However, if you do not submit an EOI for any assignments over the term of the framework agreement, WEPP-KP will open a dialogue to improve ways of working and assess how to make the agreement work better for you and the project.

OVERVIEW OF CTG

OVERVIEW OF THE POSITION

The overall objective of the Jobs and Growth Compact (JGC) is to support EU’s headline commitment to the implementation of the Africa - Europe Alliance on Sustainable Investments and Jobs, including the EU External Investment Plan, as well as to define more precise country specific priorities.

The JGCs prepared for each partner countries help ensuring coherence and focus between the EU’s range of interventions and instruments, and strengthen the EU’s efforts towards European Economic Diplomacy.

The JGC offers an analysis of the potential of job creation and value chain development and related obstacles, and a forward-looking response strategy in line with the four strands of the Africa-Europe Alliance (i.e. investment climate, de-risking, education and skills, market building).

The JGC is thus an internal operational tool that also serves as a source for the programming exercise. It also serves as a means to foster convergence towards the EU key priorities identified in a given country with EU Member States, partner Financial Institutions (FIs) and other operators as well as through structured dialogue with government and the private sector. As a living document, the JGC is reviewed and revised regularly to account for an evolving local context.

The JGC is not a negotiated nor binding document and does not supersede nor replace the National Indicative Programme (NIP) but contributes to it and further articulates the priorities contained therein.

Under the new EU Multi-annual Financial Framework (MFF), the European Commission has proposed to establish a European Fund for Sustainable Development Plus (EFSD+) notably to support the first pillar of the EIP. The EFSD+ will consist of blending and budgetary guarantee operations supported by the External Action Guarantee (EAG). The EFSD+ will include operations previously carried out under the external lending mandate to the European Investment Bank (EIB). The EAG will have a worldwide scope and a volume of operations of up to EUR 60 billion to support the EFSD+ as well as Macrofinancial Assistance (MFA) and Euratom loans.

The EU Delegations are expected play a key role in ensuring a strong and coherent steering of the EU intervention on the ground. Such role will be reinforced under the EFSD+. EU Delegations will assess the partner country´s investment needs, gaps and priorities. This could be done through the study of e.g. the country´s investment plans and through holding in-country dialogues on investment issues. These assessments should cover the investment conditions in these countries, including analysis of the drivers of investment climate and business environment (See the Handbook on improving the Investment Climate through EU action) and possible need for improvements or reforms. Market distortion and crowding out of commercial finance is to be avoided from the outset. These assessments would also identify priority areas (windows) where investment would best deliver on EU policy objectives.

The in-country dialogue with partner countries provide the opportunity for the EU Delegations to explain the possibility for the partner country to receive EU assistance not only in the “traditional” form of grants (procurement, grants, budget support, etc.) but also in the form of investment projects through blending and guarantees, encompassing private-sector financing and sovereign lending. This dialogue should also be conducted not only with partner countries, but also with representatives of the private sector, banking sector, local authorities, civil society organisations and FIs on the ground (EIB, the EBRD or Member States’ agencies). This will help the EU Delegations to assess the possibility to use blending or budgetary guarantees in the country, and to identify the sectors conductive to investments and which are consistent with the EU policy objectives and priorities, thus providing orientations/ensuring an active role vis-à-vis the FIs.

It is against this background that the EU is hiring a Private Sector Engagement and Economic Development Expert.
