Deadline for Applications: 15 November 2024
Anticipated dates of Project: mid-2025 for 2 years with the possibility to extend
Brief outline of Project:
The ICRC seeks to establish long-term frame agreements with humanitarian evaluation suppliers that have experience in contexts and issues related to conflict and other situations of violence. The frame agreement is expected to be operational from mid-2025, initially for a two-year period with the potential to extend.
The purpose of the frame agreements is to facilitate the ICRC’s access to qualified suppliers to conduct evaluations. The frame agreements are managed by the Evaluation Office which supports teams in HQ and across all delegations to commission evaluations.
The ICRC anticipates that more than half of its 70+ evaluations annually will be commissioned via the frame agreements. This includes both centralised evaluations commissioned by the Evaluation Office and decentralised evaluations commissioned in HQ and delegations
Key information to encourage interest
Expressions of Interest are invited from evaluation suppliers for the ICRC to identify companies with relevant expertise in conducting evaluations in conflict affected contexts.
The purpose of this expression of interest is for the ICRC to identify companies:
With multiple areas of expertise and experience
With expertise and experience in one or more areas that are frequently the subject of evaluations (e.g. WatHab, EcoSec, Health, Protection)
With highly specialist expertise relevant to the ICRC’s unique mandate and operations in one or more areas
Selected companies will be invited to participate in the full Request for Proposals (RFP), through which they will demonstrate evidence of their experience (see full EOI document accessible via the ICRC’s procurement website). The RFP will require further information about capabilities and approaches. Companies that are not awarded a frame agreement, may still be invited to participate to bid for evaluations that are outside of the frame agreements; often procured via restricted tenders and occasionally via public tenders.
