Overview

The Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) intends to apply a portion of its own funds towards the cost of contracting a Consultant to conduct the Evaluation of the CDB’s Environmental and Social Review Procedures (ESRP).

The objective of the consultancy is to assess experience with CDB’s ESRP since 2014, examine evolving practice in this area at other MDB’s, and draw lessons and recommendations to inform renewal of the ESRP.

The level of effort of the assignment may be up to 120 person days, spread over a period of six months (July, 2022 – December, 2022).

CDB now invites interested eligible consulting firms to submit Expressions of Interest for the provision of these consultancy services.

in all cases, the consultant has no arrangement and undertakes not to make any arrangements, whereby any substantial part of the net profits or other tangible benefits of the contract will accrue or be paid to a person not a citizen or bona fide resident of an eligible country.

Eligible countries are member countries of CDB.

In the assessment of submissions, consideration will be given to technical competence, qualifications and experience, local and regional experience on similar assignments, financial capability and existing commitments.
