Seeking qualified advisors for the design, drafting, and evaluation of bids for the Gas Bid Windows 1 and 2 under the Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme, with a contract duration of 36 months.
The Development Bank of Southern Africa is inviting proposals for the appointment of Technical Transaction Advisors to assist in the Request for Proposal (RFP) design and drafting, evaluation of bids, and appointment of preferred bidders for the Gas Bid Windows 1 and 2. This initiative aims to procure 3,000 MW of new generation electricity capacity from gas-to-power plants, as outlined in the Integrated Resource Plan (IRP). The advisors will be responsible for drafting the RFP, responding to bidder queries, evaluating submitted bids, and supporting the commercial and financial close activities associated with the projects.
The scope of work includes reviewing and finalizing the draft Concept Note, advising on contractual structures, technical requirements, and logistics for gas importation. Advisors will also conduct evaluations of bid responses and assist in all activities leading to the commercial and financial closure of the projects. This is a critical role in ensuring the successful implementation of the Gas Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme, which aims to enhance the energy supply in South Africa while promoting sustainable energy practices.
This tender is suitable for consulting firms with proven experience in energy procurement, particularly those specializing in gas-to-power projects and independent power producer frameworks. Firms should have a track record of advising on RFP processes and bid evaluations in large infrastructure projects.
