Environmental and Social Consulting Services.

KfW intends to conclude a framework agreement with 3 economic operators to review and appraise KfW project documentation for compliance with the environmental and social standards set out in KfW's Sustainability Guidelines, current World Bank standards, and Equator Principles. In addition to review and appraisal services, which comprise approx. 90 % of its requirement, KfW requires training of KfW project personnel (employees and external staff) as well as complex analysis and risk assessment of project environmental and social impacts. These services comprise approx. 10 percent of the requirement. The duration of the individual assignments for review and appraisal is approx. 3 to 10 days each. The duration of single assignments for training and complex analysis and risk assessment will vary. The assignments for review and appraisal will be awarded to the 3 contractors by means of a Cascade mechanism, the tasks for training and complex analysis by means of mini-competitions.
