5. EVALUATION OF PROPOSALS
5.1. Completeness
IUCN will firstly check your Proposal for completeness. Incomplete Proposals will not be considered further.
5.2. Pre-Qualification Criteria
Only Proposals that meet all of the pre-qualification criteria will be evaluated.
5.3. Technical Evaluation
5.3.1. 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.
5.3.2. Minimum Quality Thresholds
Proposals that receive a score of ‘0’ for any of the criteria will not be considered further.
5.3.3. 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.
5.4. 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 5.3.2) 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%
5.5. 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.

About the Project
The Mainstreaming and Integrated Water Resources Management approach for More Resilient Basins in Mozambique [MozWateR] is a geared project towards achieving water security and safety by supporting Mozambique in developing its capacity to implement effective integrated water resources management (IWRM) in key basins in the northern and central water administration regions and improve capacity at a national level. This project is a collaborative effort where joint action on the ground will produce critical lessons from tried best practices that inform policy which strengthen business approaches, institutions, and rules around the sustainable use of land and water. MozWateR is being implemented collaboratively with the Northern Regional Water Administration (ARA-Norte), Central Regional Water Administration (ARA-Centro) and the National Directorate for Water Resources Management (DNGRH) as primary Implementing Partners (IPs) to combat several challenges in the national water sector.
Description of the Assignment
Monographs exist for the three inland basins of Cabo Delgado, namely the Megaruma, Montepuez and Messalo river basins, prepared by ARA Norte, IP, which describe the current situation and characterise the three aforementioned basins from the perspective of hydrology, water resources and main demands in general. The Consultant is invited to focus their analysis on the Megaruma, Montepuez and Messalo river basins and to expand the assessment of their hydrological and climatic variables, in accordance with the points indicated below:
Describe the legal and institutional aspects of water resource management in these basins, taking into account the ongoing reforms aimed at decentralising activities to the district;
The Consultant shall compile and analyse flow data (where applicable), including an assessment of the quality and reliability of data from hydrometric stations (through visual inspections of the stations and statistical analysis) and the corresponding flow-time curves, and develop a GIS database containing all the data;
Analyse and review previous studies on water resources, water supply and the Development Plans for the Province of Cabo Delgado;
Identify the main sub-basins for the three basins under study;
Survey and map existing water storage infrastructure, including natural lakes and ponds, and describe their characteristics as far as possible;
Carry out a hydrological analysis of the existing precipitation data series and, based on this, calculate water resource availability using models (HEC-HMS and HEC-RES or others deemed most appropriate by the Consultant). Using the calibrated model, calculate the average annual runoff for each of the basins;
Describe and estimate the availability of groundwater resources, including their interaction with surface runoff;
For the main springs, identify and map the main recharge zones that impact water availability;
Map existing land use in the three catchments;
Identify the socio-economic characteristics and the impacts these may have on water resource availability;
To determine current and future water demand based on projections for population growth, economic development, etc., for four scenarios, namely: five, ten and twenty years’ time, and a likely scenario;
Based on the information available from ARA Norte, IP and supplementary data surveys, describe the current situation in terms of water quality and main sources of contamination, including the ecological situation;
Based on the scenarios studied, the status of water resources (surface and groundwater) and the environment, define appropriate development and management measures for the river basins;
Knowledge transfer activities for ARA Norte, IP technical staff.
In addition to the specific activities for the preparation of the river basin plans, the consultant shall carry out complementary activities aimed at identifying safe sources for urban water supply to the main towns and strategic cities. In summary, the Consultant shall carry out the following activities in this specific context:
Identify alternative solutions for water supply sources and propose appropriate infrastructure solutions, taking into account projected economic development and population growth scenarios and the potential of existing water resources in the region; and
The Consultant shall ultimately identify alternative sources to supplement existing water supply sources for the towns of Mecúfi, Chiúre, Ancuabe, Meluco, Balama, Macomia, Muidumbe and the cities of Montepuez and Pemba, which face a critical water resource situation, and shall detail the technical, financial and environmental implications of their utilisation.
