The Accelerating and Strengthening Skills for Economic Transformation (ASSET) Project 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 shortlisting criteria are:
• General Experience of the Firm (core business and years in business, details of business registration certificates, corporate documents).
• Experience in similar assignments of compatible size, complexity and technical specialty in the required area.
• Working experience in the development partner-funded projects will be an added advantage
• Corporate Capacity of the Consultant’s organization (manpower resources, financial strength, logistics).
Key Experts will not be evaluated at the shortlisting stage.
Consultants are requested to submit, but not limited to, the following supporting documents in support of the above-mentioned criteria:
(i) Registration paper of the firm(s); (ii) Firm’s brochures; and (iii) description of relevant assignments including nature, total cost, total input in terms of man month, employer, location of service etc.);

Consultants may associate with other firms to enhance their qualifications but should indicate clearly whether the association is in the form of a joint venture and/or a sub-consultancy. In the case of a joint venture, all the partners in the joint venture shall be jointly and severally liable for the entire contract, if selected.
