4.5.2. IUCN will cover the cost of travels, accommodation, DSAs & workshop costs in accordance with its policy and procedures.

4.5.3. Prices include all costs

Submitted rates and prices are deemed to include all costs, insurances, taxes (except VAT, see below), fees, expenses, liabilities, obligations, risk and other things necessary for the performance of the Terms of Reference or Specification of Requirements. IUCN will not accept charges beyond those clearly stated in the Financial Proposal. This includes applicable withholding taxes and similar. It is your responsibility to determine whether such taxes apply to your organisation and to include them in your financial offer.

4.5.4. Applicable Goods and Services Taxes

Proposal rates and prices shall be exclusive of Value Added Tax.

4.5.5. Currency of proposed rates and prices

All rates and prices submitted by Proposers shall be in US dollars (USD).

4.6. Additional information not requested by IUCN should not be included in your Proposal and will not be taken into account in the evaluation.

4.7. Your proposal must remain valid and capable of acceptance by IUCN for a period of 90 calendar days following the submission deadline.

4.8. 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.

5. EVALUATION of PROPOSALS

5.1. Completeness

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

5.2.Technical Evaluation

5.2.1. 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.

5.2.2. Minimum Quality Thresholds

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

5.2.3. 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.

5.3. 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%

5.4. 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: 70%

Financial: 30%

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.

6. Explanation of procurement procedure

6.1. All qualified experts in accordance with the ToRs (Attachment 1) are welcome to send proposals but IUCN reserves the right to respond to successful bidder.

6.2. You are welcome to ask questions or seek clarification regarding this procurement. Please email the IUCN Contact (see Section 2), taking note of the deadline for submission of questions in Section 3.1.

6.3. All proposals must be received by the submission deadline in Section 3.1 above. Late proposals will not be considered. All proposals received by the submission deadline will be evaluated by a team of two or more evaluators in accordance with the evaluation criteria stated in in this RfP. No other criteria will be used to evaluate proposals. The contract will be awarded to the bidder whose proposal received the highest Total Score. IUCN does, however, reserve the right to cancel the procurement and not award a contract at all.

6.4. IUCN will contact the bidder with the highest-scoring proposal to finalise the contract. We will contact unsuccessful bidders after the contract has been awarded and provide detailed feedback. The timetable in Section 3.1 gives an estimate of when we expect to have completed the contract award, but this date may change depending on how long the evaluation of proposals takes.

About the Project

The NaturAfrica program aims to reduce biodiversity loss while enhancing the sustainable quality of life for local communities in Key Landscapes for Conservation and Development (KLCD) across Sub-Saharan Africa. The current project focuses on implementing Outcome 2, which supports the East African Community (EAC) Transboundary work through the EAC’s Tourism and Wildlife Department, involving the EAC Technical Working Group on Transboundary Wildlife Conservation Areas, landscape stakeholders, and IUCN experts. The program seeks to improve biodiversity conservation and management at both landscape and regional levels, with particular attention to women, youth, and vulnerable populations. Key outputs include improved access to biodiversity information for decision-making, increased capacity for managing natural ecosystems, and enhanced coordination for policy harmonization at regional and landscape levels.

Description of the Assignment

In carrying out the assignment, the Consultancy shall entail but is not limited to the following:
• Review and revise of the draft EAC Wildlife Conservation and Management Strategy and Action Plan,
• Review the related international instruments (including the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework),
• Review of the Regional and National Policy framework and priorities including the EAC Strategy to Combat Poaching and Illegal Trade and Trafficking of Wildlife and Wildlife Products;
• Conduct a high-level needs assessment for EAC in the wildlife sector;
• Conduct initial briefings and consultations with Government Ministries, wildlife conservation and management authorities and planning units;
• Review existing wildlife strategies in all Partner States and identify potential synergies and overlaps taking into account the Regional Wildlife Conservation and Management policy and the Regional Strategy to Combat Poaching and Illegal Trade and Trafficking of Wildlife and Wildlife Products; and
• Revise the indicative budget for implementing the Strategy and Action Plan.

Wildlife Management Analysis

Following the recommendations from the Sectoral Council to strengthen and refine the EAC Wildlife Conservation and Management Strategy and Action Plan, the Consultant(s) will undertake a comprehensive analysis of the wildlife management landscape in the region. This will involve a combination of desk research, stakeholder consultations, and a review of key documents such as the Natural Capital Study Report, national biodiversity reports to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), and other relevant global frameworks. Specifically, the Consultant(s) will:
• Examine the current status and trends of wildlife populations and their habitats across EAC Partner States, ensuring that findings are consistent with international biodiversity goals;
• Identify and assess the direct threats, underlying causes, and major drivers behind wildlife loss, considering social, economic, environmental, and governance dimensions;
• Review how wildlife conservation and management efforts are being implemented at the national level and across shared landscapes, identifying areas where coordination could be improved;
• Highlight the key challenges and obstacles that are limiting effective conservation efforts and propose ways to overcome them;
• Assess where there are gaps in institutional and technical capacity and recommend opportunities for strengthening conservation frameworks and initiatives;
• Map the different groups involved in wildlife conservation — from government agencies and local communities to private sector actors, development partners, and NGOs — and analyse how they can best contribute to regional conservation efforts;
• Suggest priority areas for action that are closely aligned with EAC’s mission and conservation objectives;
• Showcase good practices and success stories from within and outside the region that could be adapted and expanded to drive real change in wildlife conservation;
• Ensure that all maps and geographic materials reflect the accurate and up-to-date borders of all Partner States, including correcting the representation of the United Republic of Tanzania.

Policy analysis:

To ensure the Strategy is robust and globally relevant, the Consultant(s) will:
• Review existing wildlife policies, laws, strategies, and international agreements at the national and regional levels — including national wildlife management strategies and key international conventions like CBD, CITES, CMS, and Ramsar;
• Identify where national policies are strong and where improvements are needed, and explore how they align (or could better align) with regional and global conservation commitments.

Legal-institutional analysis:

The Consultant(s) will also take a close look at how institutions across the region are set up to manage wildlife conservation. This will include:
• Reviewing the key regional and international agreements Partner States have signed related to wildlife conservation;
• Assessing how responsibilities are shared, how decisions are made, and how conservation activities are funded;
• Identifying the major institutional hurdles that stand in the way of effective wildlife management; and
• Recommending how to improve coordination and cooperation between different levels of governance to make conservation efforts more effective.

Socio-economic and livelihood analysis:

Building on previous studies and discussions with stakeholders, the Consultant(s) will:
• Evaluate how wildlife conservation contributes to the livelihoods and well-being of communities across the region;
• Offer practical recommendations on how to enhance the economic benefits that communities derive from wildlife resources through sustainable practices;
• Examine how communities access wildlife resources and propose strategies to strengthen community-based conservation efforts, ensuring that local people are at the heart of wildlife management.

Climate Change Analysis:

Given the increasing threat climate change poses to wildlife, the Consultant(s) will:
• Review the impacts of climate change on wildlife across the region and identify strategies that EAC could adopt to build resilience and help communities and ecosystems adapt to changing conditions.

Stakeholders’ Analysis and Consultations

Recognizing the importance of broad support for the Strategy, the Consultant(s) will:
• Identify the key actors who have influence over (or are affected by) decisions about wildlife conservation;
• Map out how these stakeholders can be engaged effectively to support the successful implementation of the revised Strategy and Action Plan.

Options analysis

Finally, drawing on all the findings and input from consultations, the Consultant(s) will:
• Develop practical options and recommendations for how EAC can better coordinate and collaborate across the region on wildlife conservation;
• Identify the capacity and resource needs associated with each option, providing a clear roadmap for implementing the Strategy and Action Plan.
