REQUEST FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST

1. The Socialist Republic of Viet Nam has received a loan and a grant from the Agence Française de Développement (AFD) to finance a Program devoted to Urban Water Supply in the Mekong Delta Region. The overall objectives of the Program can be summarised as follows: (i) increase clean water services in urban centers of Mekong Delta (especially small towns); (ii) improve the operational efficiency of the provincial water supply companies (PWSCs); and (iii) pilot a new financing mechanism - program approach, to move forward to sustainable sector financing. The Vietnam Development Bank (VDB) is entrusted with the management of the overall Program, which encompasses one Loan Scheme to finance water supply facilities and two grant-financed Technical Support Packages towards (i) targeted provincial water supply companies, and (ii) the VDB.
2. Part of the AFD grant will finance the Consulting Services for the Technical Support to VDB for which the present Request for Expressions of Interest is issued.
3. The proposed Consulting Services aim at providing support to VDB at central and provincial level for (i) the launch of the Program (implementation guidelines, “launching” workshop,…) and (ii) the increasing of capacity with regard to Program Management (technical appraisal, procurement management, financial management).
The VDB provincial branches involved in the Program are located in the six following provinces: Can Tho, An Giang, Dong Thap, Tra Vinh, Vinh Long, Ben Tre.
4. The consultancy firm or group of firms will be required to deploy experts and set up arrangements accordingly so as to enable a series of supports over the period of the Program (3 years).

6. Short-listed candidates will eventually be invited to participate in a consultation procedure based on quality and cost considerations, the weight given to the Technical and Financial Proposals being 0.9 for the Technical Proposal and 0.1 for the Financial Proposal.
