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 rampant state of coastal and marine ecosystems degradation, weak land use systems, poor marine and coastal resources governance, high dependence on marine resources and climate change are the biggest problems threatening long term productivity of Tanzania’s coastal and marine natural capital. Critical issues include: coastal development; mangrove destruction; marine pollution from surface run off and plastics waste; overfishing, damaging fishing practices and weak resources governance; targeting of juvenile and undersize fish and invertebrates (lobsters, crabs, sea cucumber); an uncoordinated and piecemeal approach to biodiversity and ecosystem-based fisheries management at the local level; poor advocacy skills and limited knowledge on environmental legislation for community conservation efforts; and unsustainable financing of coastal and marine resources.
The Bahari Yetu project’s development hypothesis is that the stewardship of the marine biodiversity and blue economy will be improved if: 1) science based natural resource management and governance at a landscape and seascape scale is improved; 2) economic benefits from conservation-based enterprises are increased for women and youth; 3) new technologies and approaches for increased climate resilience measures by communities are introduced and adopted; 4) knowledge management and capacity building on marine and coastal resources management (including forests) is improved; and 5) natural resource policy development, institutions, evidence-based research and monitoring, and implementation are enhanced.
This project is part of the four-year, EU-funded initiative under the “Blue Economy for Job Creation and Climate Change Adaptation” programme, running from 2024 to 2028. Its overarching goal is to enhance the protection of marine and coastal ecosystems, promote the development of a climate-resilient blue economy, and foster the creation of sustainable employment opportunities. Aligned with Tanzania’s national Blue Economy Framework and the Zanzibar Blue Economy Policy, the project operates across both mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar. By addressing critical challenges such as marine resource degradation and climate change impacts, it aims to ensure the sustainable use and management of marine resources, while safeguarding biodiversity for future generations.
1.1 Project goal, objectives, outcomes, and components

b. Promote institutional strengthening, adaptive management, and community engagement for the protection of coastal and marine resources.
c. Strengthen effective research, monitoring, and surveillance systems for coastal and marine biodiversity conservation.
1.1.3 Outcomes
The project is designed to achieve the following expected intermediate outcomes.
1. Improved biodiversity conservation of the marine resources.
2. Community-led management of coastal forests strengthened.
3. Plastic leakage into the environment, waterways and the ocean reduced.
4. Institutional capacity for research and monitoring of coastal resources improved.
1.1.4 Project components
To achieve the project goal, objectives and outcomes, the interventions are organised into five interrelated work packages to deliver specific the following outputs:
a. Protection of Marine Resources and Biodiversity.
b. Strengthen Community-led Management of Coastal Forests.

d. Improve institutional capacities for research, monitoring, surveillance, and management of coastal and marine resources.
e. Project management, Coordination and Acceleration of Impact.
1.2 Project sites
In mainland Tanzania the project is executed in four regions (Mtwara – Mtwara DC, Mikindani and Mtwara Rural Districts) Coastal – Mafia and Rufiji Districts, Lindi- Kilwa District and Dar es Salaam -Ilala, Temeke, and Kinondoni Districts) while in Zanzibar the project is executed in two regions (North Unguja -Kaskazini A and B Districts, and South Unguja – Central District).
