Background</strong></p><p>The Kingdom of Eswatini faces persistent challenges of high youth unemployment, limited formal-sector job creation and widespread poverty, particularly in rural areas. Women, youth with disabilities, youth who are not in education, employment or training, and youth engaged in low-productivity activities face additional barriers to productive opportunities.</p><p>The Eswatini Youth Employment Opportunities Project (EYEOP) is a five-year national, multisectoral initiative supported by the World Bank to expand income-earning opportunities for youth. The Project combines market-relevant skills, entrepreneurship and business development support, productive start-up support, access to finance, mentorship, and integration into agricultural and related value chains.</p><p>Under Subcomponent 1.1, EWADE will support 20,000 youth in agriculture and related value chains, with at least 50 percent women. The beneficiary pathway covers socio-emotional and mindset-change support, technical and business skills, business planning, productive grants where applicable, enterprise development, market or employment linkages, mentorship and post-support monitoring.</p><p>The assignment will focus on Government-prioritized value chains: vegetables (onions, potatoes, tomatoes and baby vegetables), dry beans, small ruminants, poultry and aquaculture. Youth opportunities may cover on-farm production and off-farm activities such as input supply, nurseries and hatcheries, aggregation, logistics, processing, mechanization, e-extension, e-commerce and related business services.</p><p><strong>2.

Methodology &amp; Workplan</strong></p><p>The TOR defines the mandatory service requirements, minimum standards, outputs and intended results. The Provider shall propose the detailed methodology, staffing deployment, sequencing, tools, logistics and quality-assurance arrangements in its technical proposal. The approach shall demonstrate how all service areas will be integrated into a coherent beneficiary journey rather than delivered as disconnected activities.</p><p>Delivery shall be organized around defined beneficiary cohorts or service cycles. The contract will specify the number and profile of beneficiaries, geographic coverage, value chains, pathway mix, delivery period, required modules, mentorship frequency, service standards, deliverables, indicators and verification requirements. Training, enterprise support and mentoring shall be aligned with agricultural production calendars, market cycles and relevant employment demand.</p><p>The detailed methodology shall be finalized during inception with EWADE. Adjustments may be proposed during implementation in response to beneficiary needs and evidence, but shall require written approval and shall not reduce agreed coverage, service quality, outputs, results, safeguards or contractual accountability.</p><p><strong>4.1. Delivery and Contracting Model</strong></p><p>An applicant may participate as:</p><ul><li>A single firm possessing the required end-to-end capabilities; or</li><li>A joint venture or consortium with complementary capabilities, with a clearly defined Lead Firm supported by formally identified specialist subcontractors or technical partners.</li></ul><p>The Lead Firm shall enter into the contract with EWADE and assume full responsibility for end-to-end delivery, coordination, quality assurance, reporting, fiduciary compliance, risk management, safeguarding, data quality and achievement of all contracted outputs and results. The proposal shall identify each participating entity, its legal relationship to the Lead Firm, its role, the services it will provide, key personnel, coordination arrangements and the mechanism for managing performance and risks across the delivery chain.</p><p>EWADE will hold the Lead Firm accountable and will not separately manage consortium members, subcontractors or specialist partners. The Lead Firm shall consolidate all work plans, reports, invoices, evidence and communications; monitor the performance of participating entities; address delivery failures; and ensure consistent service standards. Any material change in consortium membership, specialist arrangements, key responsibilities or proposed personnel shall require prior written approval by EWADE.</p><p><strong>4.2 Performance Review and Adaptive Management</strong></p><p>Performance shall be reviewed for each cohort or service cycle against agreed service standards, output quality, beneficiary satisfaction, data quality, safeguarding compliance, market or employment linkage performance and outcome indicators measurable within the review period.</p><p>A broader implementation review shall be undertaken after the initial six months, or at another point specified in the contract, to assess the effectiveness of the integrated delivery model, coordination arrangements, beneficiary progression and the Lead Firm&rsquo;s management of participating entities. EWADE may require a corrective action plan, enhanced supervision, replacement of personnel, revised sequencing or other reasonable adjustments within the contract. Any adjustment shall preserve the agreed objectives and the Lead Firm&rsquo;s unified accountability.</p><p><strong>5. Expected Outputs and Performance Framework</strong></p><p>The assignment shall use results-based performance management. Performance will be assessed on delivery of contracted outputs and measurable contributions to agreed employment, enterprise, income and market outcomes. The Provider shall not be evaluated solely on the number of activities conducted. The contract shall distinguish between outputs within the Provider&rsquo;s direct control and outcome indicators to which the Provider contributes.</p><table cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"border-collapse:collapse;

The vast majority of power generation capacity in countries such as Guyana, Saint Lucia, and Grenada, consists of heavy fuel oil and diesel-fired power plants. The reliance on expensive imported heavy fuel oil and diesel fuel, together with the inability to take advantage of economies of scale due to the small market sizes of individual island states, has resulted in extremely high electricity tariffs in these countries. The Governments of Grenada, Guyana and Saint Lucia have established policies and goals for transition to low carbon economies and transformation of their power sector supply mix to make use of indigenous renewable energy resources.&nbsp; In addition to National Energy Policies and Plans, these countries have also articulated national climate actions which speak clearly to the development of solar energy and increased energy efficiency as part of the national development.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The buildings sector is seen as an important untapped opportunity for sustainable energy in the Caribbean. Preliminary energy surveys of selected buildings in the named countries have indicated major benefits from investments in EE and distributed solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. These interventions can reduce dependency on fossil fuels while cultivating a landscape of energy independence, lower electricity costs, decrease GHG emissions, enhance resilience of critical public services and increase occupancy comfort. The results from these energy surveys indicate that EE and RE investments are economically viable with preliminary indications of payback periods of less than 5 years.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The Governments of Grenada, Guyana and Saint Lucia have received financing from the World Bank (WB) toward the costs of the multi-country Caribbean Efficient and Green Energy Buildings Project (CEGEB Project).The CEGEB Project is designed to address common challenges in the energy sector that countries in the region face and will support investment in EE measures and RE systems, such as distributed solar PV systems installed on rooftops or in public spaces. The EE retrofits will include passive and active EE measures along with improvements in building-control systems. Passive EE measures will include energy-efficient windows, shading, wall and roof insulation, and cool surfaces. Active EE measures will include the replacement of existing inefficient building equipment and appliances, or installation of new energy efficient equipment and appliances, such as lighting systems, air-conditioning equipment, air handling systems, ceiling fans, and refrigerators or freezers using refrigerants with low or no global-warming potential (GWP), where appropriate. Improvements in control systems will include smart controls, sensors, and energy-management systems to meet EE objectives. The Project will also support the safe disposal of used equipment and materials.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Part of the financing from the CEGEB Project will be used to hire consulting firms (hereafter referred to as the Consultant) to undertake investment grade audits (IGAs), with minimum ASHRAE level 3 or equivalent standards in approximately two hundred and fifty (250)&nbsp; public buildings in Grenada, Guyana and Saint Lucia to prepare detailed designs, technical specifications, and bidding documents for EE measures (EEMs) and distributed solar PV systems (DPVs) for these buildings. The IGAs will be undertaken under a 2-year Framework Agreement, in the first instance, with distinct batches of buildings addressed under call-off assignments expected to last 6-8 months per batch.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Objectives of the assignment</strong></p><p>The objective of this assignment is to conduct Investment Grade Audits (IGAs), compliant with ASHRAE Level 3 standards or equivalent, for selected public buildings in Grenada, Guyana, and Saint Lucia, in order to identify, evaluate, and prioritize Energy Efficiency Measures (EEMs) and Distributed Photovoltaic (DPV) systems for implementation.</p><p>The assignment will support the preparation of investment-ready interventions for approximately 250 public buildings through:</p><ul><li>detailed assessment of current building energy performance;</li><li>identification and technical evaluation of cost-effective EEMs and DPV options;</li><li>economic and financial analysis of EEMs and DPV proposed measures, including lifecycle costs, savings, payback, IRR, and NPV;</li><li>preparation of detailed engineering designs, technical specifications, drawings, and Bills of Quantities (BOQs);</li><li>assessment of environmental and social (E&amp;S) risks associated with the proposed measures in accordance with the World Bank Environmental and Social Framework (ESF), national regulations, and applicable project safeguards instruments; and</li><li>development of inputs required for procurement including bidding documents for the proposed measures;</li></ul><p>The assignment shall also assess structural, operational, social and environmental conditions that may affect implementation of the proposed investments and recommend any required remediation measures.</p><p>The final list of buildings to be audited will be confirmed through Call-Off Contracts.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Scope of Work</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The full scope of this assignment includes the identification, assessment, prioritization, and detailed design of Energy Efficiency Measures (EEMs) and Distributed Photovoltaic (DPV) systems, together with preparation of the technical, financial, social, environmental, and procurement documentation required for implementation.</p><p>The Consultant shall prepare:</p><ul><li>detailed technical assessments and energy audits;</li><li>engineering designs and drawings;</li><li>technical specifications;</li><li>bills of quantities (BOQs);</li><li>cost-benefit and financial analyses;</li><li>measurement and verification (M&amp;V) plans;</li><li>environmental and social screening reports; and</li><li>Environmental and Social Management Plans (ESMPs).</li></ul><p>The OECS Commission and the National Project Implementing Units (PIUs) will facilitate coordination with the selected buildings&rsquo; administration and provide access to available documentation, including utility bills, preliminary energy surveys, and existing drawings.</p><p>The Consultant shall verify the completeness and accuracy of all available information through site visits and field assessments.
