The Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development of Canada (DFATD) requires the services of a Consultant to implement the Field Support Services Project (FSSP) in Afghanistan.
To ensure the effectiveness, efficiency, quality and relevance of Canada’s support in responding to Afghanistan’s development challenges, the Afghanistan Development Program requires access to local technical expertise, sector studies and strategies, sector and initiative level preparation and monitoring along with supplementary administrative and logistical support. To meet these needs, DFATD has designed the Field Support Services Project (FSSP) to provide required technical, administrative and support services.
The purpose of this notice is to invite formal costed proposals from eligible Consultants. On the basis of the formal proposals, one Consultant will be invited to negotiate a contract for the provision of services. DFATD reserves the right to refuse any or all proposals received. The anticipated contract duration is five (5) years.
Due to the nature of the requirement, the FSSP Consultant under contract with DFATD will be prohibited from implementing any new DFATD development project within the duration of the Contract.
WORKING LANGUAGE OF THE PROJECT
Since Afghanistan requests communications with DFATD in English, the working language for this project is English.
