FRAMEWORK AGREEMENTS FOR SHORT-TERM CONSULTANT FIRMS FOR AGRICULTURE SECTOR PROJECTS OF THE LIVES AND LIVELIHOODS FUND (LLF)

The Lives and Livelihoods Fund (Lives and Livelihoods Fund) is a trust fund within the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) that provides concessional financing to eligible member countries to support vulnerable populations through Health, Social Infrastructure, and Agriculture projects. 

The IsDB, on behalf of the Lives and Livelihoods Fund, seeks to establish framework agreements with firms with expertise in the health sector across the fund’s key geographies and languages of focus. These consultants will be preferred partners who will be called upon to support project design and implementation as needed.

The Terms of Reference (TOR) of the Services is detailed in Section 7. IsDB will select and engage firms in accordance with the IsDB Corporate Procurement Policy.

Applicants must be registered in the IsDB’s Consultant Portal in order to be considered. The link to the portal is available here: http://isdb.supplier.mn2.ariba.com/ad/selfRegistration/. Please note that only the initial registration form is required at this submission stage.

We strongly encourage eligible consulting firms to explore and consider the possibility of forming consortiums or partnerships with other qualified firms to jointly submit proposals. Consortium arrangements can enhance the breadth of expertise and resources available for the successful execution of projects across various sectors.

Applicants wishing to submit a proposal are required to complete the RFP and standard forms for proposal submission (Section 6), include their portfolio, and submit them via email no later than Sunday March 31 at 21:00 (Arabian Standard Time). Please note that no submissions will be accepted after this time.
