The Government of Samoa (GoS) and the
Government of the Republic of Vanuatu (GoV) have
received financing from the
World Bank toward the cost of the Samoa Aviation Investment Project and Vanuatu
Aviation Investment Project, and intend to apply part of the proceeds for
consulting services.
The consulting services (“the Services”)
includes developing an Aviation Sector Strategy for the Implementing Agencies.
The strategy should also include a thorough analysis of the impact and
interrelations with other key sectors (e.g. tourism, maritime, disaster
responses, etc.) and environmental/social impacts. It is important that all
outputs and reports delivered by the consultant shall be practical and designed
for implementation by GoS and GoV, including identifying areas where capacity
development and additional investment are required.
The Implementing
Agencies, Samoa Airports Authority and the Ministry of Finance and Economic
Management, Vanuatu, now invites eligible consulting firms (“Consultants”) to
indicate their interest in providing the Services. Interested Consultants
should provide information demonstrating that they have the required
qualifications and relevant experience to perform the Services.
The Expression of Interest should consist of
documentary evidence clearly defining company profiles/core business
descriptions, descriptions of similar assignments (at least three similar
assignments should be detailed) and experience in similar conditions
(developing countries in particular the Pacific Region). It may include
qualifications of the Firm’s own Senior Management Staff relevant
to the assignment. CVs are not required of proposed consultants. Shortlisted
Firms will be invited to submit a Full Technical and Financial Proposal. Given
the often-large number of submissions, firms should pay attention to the
importance of brevity of the information to be sent.
