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%
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. The timetable in Section 3.1 gives an estimate of when we expect to have completed the contract award, but this date may change depending on how long the evaluation of proposals takes.

About the Project
The Vice President’s Office, in collaboration with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and with technical support from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)-Tanzania, is implementing a project entitled “Supporting Implementation of Integrated Ecosystems Management Approach for Landscape Restoration and Biodiversity Conservation in Tanzania”. The project is under global programme, The Restoration Initiative (TRI) which is being implemented by 10 countries including Tanzania.
The Tanzania TRI child project is a five year-project (2021-2025) financed by a grant from Global Environmental Facility (GEF) amounting to USD 11,205,872. The project is implemented in 7 district councils located in two landscapes of the Great Ruaha and the Lake Rukwa basins. The district councils are Iringa, Wanging’ombe, Mbarali, Mbeya in the Great Ruaha basin and Sumbawanga, Mpimbwe and Tanganyika in Lake Rukwa Basin. The project covers 54 Villages selected from 18 Wards and it is expected to benefit over 100,000 households.
The overall objective of the Tanzania child project is to strengthen integrated natural resource management and restoration of degraded landscapes for resilient socio-ecological systems in Tanzania. Specific objectives are:
i. To enhance the national enabling environment and capacity of actors for sustainable landscape restoration (SLR) efforts and commitment to SLR;
IUCN: Request for Proposals Page 8 of 10
ii. To improve landscape management through the implementation of restoration plans and integrated landscape management practices in selected project sites;
iii. To develop and share knowledge, disseminate good practices, and appropriate monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems and financing arrangements that support adaptive management of SLR interventions and strategies.
Through this project among others, the Government of Tanzania and its partners are expecting to achieve the following targets:
i. To mainstream SLR and sustainable land management into policies, regulations, and strategies.
ii. To put a total of 110,000 ha under SLR transition by restoring 7,755ha of degraded forests through natural regeneration and 5000 ha through afforestation /reforestation; restoring 5000ha of critically degraded land through conservation farming, terracing, contour farming, and physical rehabilitation.
iii. To reduce 4.7 million tCO2 e.q. emissions in the project area through SLR and SLM activities.
iv. To provide sufficient incentives to the Tanzanian government to make an official commitment to forest and landscape restoration as part of the Bonn Challenge and AFR 100.
Rationale for the Consultancy
There is currently limited stakeholder capacity to develop bankable SLR related projects that attract private sector investment. Further, there are inadequate studies on commercially viable SLR business cases in the target landscapes. In this context, there is an urgent need to develop business cases for SLR and build the capacity of stakeholders to enhance enabling environment for attracting private sector engagement and investment in SLR initiatives.
Therefore, the project is set to conduct a study and develop three (3) pilot business cases for SLR. Potential SLR commodities to explored include dairy cattle (milk), bee keeping (honey) and system of rice intensification – SRI (rice) to upscale socio-economic status and biodiversity conservation.
Objective of the Consultancy
The overall objective of this assignment is to undertake a cost-benefit analysis of existing and potential sustainable landscape restoration (SLR) commodities and develop three (3) pilot SLR business cases for demonstrating the commercial viability and attract private sector investment.
Specific objectives of the assignment are:
• Evaluate economic benefits of existing and potential SLR commodities.
• Develop pilot business cases for demonstrating the commercial viability and attract private sector investment in SLR.
• Presenting the business cases at stakeholder workshop for validation
Scope of the Assignment
The scope of this assignment shall involve cost-benefit analysis of SLR commodities, development of business cases and presenting the business cases to stakeholders for validation. The assignment will cover the Project District Councils which are Iringa, Wanging’ombe, Mbarali and Mbeya in the Great Ruaha Basin; and Sumbawanga, Mpimbwe and Tanganyika in the Lake Rukwa Basin.
