4.5. Financial Proposal
4.5.1. The financial proposal must be a fixed and firm price for the provision of the goods/services stated in the RfP in their entirety.
4.5.2. 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
IUCN: Request for Proposals Page 4 of 12
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.
4.5.3. Applicable Goods and Services Taxes
Proposal rates and prices shall be exclusive of Value Added Tax.
4.5.4. Currency of proposed rates and prices
All rates and prices submitted by Proposers shall be in [USD currency].
4.5.5. Breakdown of rates and prices
4.6. Additional information not requested by IUCN should not be included in your Proposal and will not be considered 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%
IUCN: Request for Proposals Page 5 of 12
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. IUCN is using the Invitation Procedure for this procurement. This means that only invited bidders may submit a proposal. IUCN typically invites from four to six bidders to submit a proposal.
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.

GEF CEO ENDORSEMENT
Project: Strengthening integrated transboundary source-to-sea management of the Ruvuma River Basin and its coastal zones to ensure ecosystem health and livelihood security
Background
The five year, GEF-funded project proposal (PIF) was approved by the GEF Council in January 2024. The Ruvuma Project seeks to address the lack of cross-sectoral multi-state cooperation in transboundary water resource management which is critical in sustaining critical terrestrial, coastal and marine ecosystems and ensuring inclusive sustainable development.
The Ruvuma River Basin is shared by Malawi, Tanzania and Mozambique and has rich terrestrial and aquatic biodiversity of global significance. The basin remains one of the pristine areas in Africa as it covers the Niassa-Selous Transfrontier Conservation Area (TFCA) and the Mnazi Bay-Quirimbas Transfrontier Marine Area (TMCA). The Selous-Niassa Wildlife Corridor which extends 160-180km following the Ruvuma River is critical for connectivity in the basin.1
More specifically, it will promote multi-sector transboundary cooperation through a source-to-sea management approach aimed at ensuring that ecosystem health and social inclusion are integrated into planning, development, and management, of the Ruvuma River Basin. The Project has five components namely a) Strengthening institutional frameworks for transboundary basin and coastal zone management; b) Facilitating integrated basin and coastal zone management through science-based decision-making; c) Supporting strategic investment planning and resource mobilization for integrated basin and coastal zone management; d) Promoting sustainable land and water management through effective stakeholder engagement; and e) Knowledge management
The project is being led by the Global Water Partnership, together with the local partners: Southern Region Water Board in Malawi, ARA-Centro in Mozambique and the Ruvuma Southern Coast Basin Water Board in Tanzania. IUCN is the GEF Agency.
Objectives of the consultancy
To lead the development of the project design and the associated project documents for the “Strengthening integrated transboundary source-to-sea management of the Ruvuma River Basin and its coastal zones to ensure ecosystem health and livelihood security” project, working closely with stakeholders and the Project Development Team (PDT) made up of technical staff from Southern Region Water Board in Malawi, ARA-Centro and the Ruvuma Southern Coast Basin Water Board in Tanzania and GWP as Executing Agency and IUCN as GEF Agency.
The consultant will be responsible for developing a comprehensive project design in support of government priorities and in accordance with IUCN and GEF standards. The consultant may assemble a team with other local consultants but will ultimately be responsible for reporting to the PDT and for ensuring the quality of the consultancy deliverables.
The consultant will ensure timely delivery of the full IUCN GEF Project Document package, including: the IUCN GEF Project Document, GEF Request for CEO Endorsement document, GEF core indicators, Letters of co-financing.
