1. The Urban Transformation Presidency (UTP) has received financing from the World Bank toward the cost of the Climate and Disaster Resilient Cities Project and intends to apply part of the proceeds for consulting services.
2. The Consultant shall perform the assignment in accordance with the contract and its annexes and shall provide consulting services for approximately 24 months or latest until October 31, 2028, from the contract start date. All buildings shall remain under the liability of the consulting firm throughout the duration of the consulting contract and until the occupancy certificate of the buildings is obtained.
   Additionally, the general goal and intent of the consulting services ("Provision of Technical and Legal Support") are:

• To provide technical and legal support to property owners of at-risk residential and/or commercial units regarding the contracts to be signed between the property owners and contractors for the strengthening/reconstruction of such units under Component 2 of the Project.
• To conduct technical verification, supervision, monitoring, and reporting during and after the construction phase of the works carried out by contractors in close cooperation with the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization, and Climate Change (MoEUCC) and building inspection firms, particularly in terms of quality, durability, feasibility, time, and cost, for the buildings selected through a sampling methodology by the UTP PMU.
• To fulfill all audits and tasks requested by the UTP PMU during project implementation.
• To support the UTP PMU in handling complaints.

1. The detailed Terms of Reference (TOR) for the services are attached to this invitation. 
2. The detailed Terms of References (TORs) for the assignments can be found at the following web page address: https://kentseldirenclilik.csb.gov.tr/
3. The Directorate of Urban Transformation invites eligible consulting firms ("Consultants") to express their interest in providing the Services. Interested Consultants should provide information demonstrating that they have the required qualifications and relevant experience to perform the Services.
4. A consulting firm may submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) individually if it believes it is fully capable of carrying out the assignment alone. It is not mandatory for consultants, whether foreign or local, to form a partnership with any other firm(s). Alternatively, if consultants prefer to enhance their qualifications and capacity for the assignment, such partnerships may be formed as a Joint Venture (where all members of the joint venture shall be jointly and severally liable) and/or as Sub-consultants (where the Consultant shall be responsible for the services of the sub-consultant as well). If a partnership is formed, the Consultants must explain in their EOI submission (a) the justification for forming the partnership and (b) the proposed role and qualifications of each Joint Venture member and/or sub-consultant in executing the assignment. Failure to provide this explanation in the EOI may result in the disqualification of the partnership from the shortlist. Please note that in the evaluation of associations for shortlisting purposes, only the qualifications of Joint Venture members will be considered, while the qualifications of proposed sub-consultants will not be taken into account.
5. The selection criteria are as follows, with special emphasis on the Consultant’s specific experience related to the assignment:

1. The Consultant (as a firm) must have at least 10 years of general experience in providing construction supervision services prior to the deadline for proposal submission. Experience in providing such services in Türkiye will be considered an asset.
2. The Consultant (as a firm) must have specific experience in providing similar consulting services under contracts of comparable size, type, and complexity within the last ten years prior to the proposal submission deadline.

Note: Key Experts will not be evaluated at the shortlisting stage.

To demonstrate their qualifications and experience in meeting the above shortlisting/selection criteria, Consultants must submit at least the following supporting documents. A consulting firm can only use its own qualifications and experience, not those of its parent, sister, or subsidiary companies or its employees.
(i) Company registration/trade/license certificates issued by the relevant government authority in the country of establishment.
(ii) Company brochures indicating the firm's core business areas.
(iii) Completed Form (Annex: Form 1) providing information on similar contracts. This information should include the contract name and reference number, a brief description of the scope of work, contract amount, contract duration, the name of the client and the country in which the assignment was carried out, and the role of the Consultant in the contract. Copies of completion certificates or client references are not required at the EOI stage. However, at a later stage, during the proposal submission phase, the Client may request shortlisted consultants to submit such completion certificates.

(It is kindly requested from the interested firms to provide the information above with an excel sheet given in the below.)

 

Interested Consultants are directed to paragraphs 3.16 and 3.17 of the World Bank’s Procurement Regulations for IPF Borrowers: Procurement in Investment Project Financing (Goods, Works, Non-Consulting and Consulting Services) (Fourth Edition, November 2020), which outline the World Bank’s policy on conflict of interest.
