About This Tender

TENDER DOCUMENT FOR CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND AUDIT

Key Requirements

1. This Section includes two types of standard contract forms for: A Lump-Sum Contract and a Time-Based
Contract. Each type includes General Conditions of Contract (“GCC”) that shall not be modified, and Special
Conditions of Contract (“SCC”). The SCC includes clauses specific to each contract to supplement, but not
over- write or otherwise contradict, the General Conditions of Contract.
2. Lump-Sum Contract. This type of contract is used mainly for assignments in which the scope and the duration
of the Services and the required output of the Consultant are clearly defined. Payments are linked to outputs
(deliverables) such as draft or final reports, drawings, bill of quantities, bidding documents, or software
programs. Lump-sum contracts are easier to administer because they operate on the principle of a fixed price
for a fixed scope, and payments are due on clearly specified out puts and milestones. Never the less, quality
control of the Consultant's outputs by the Procuring Entity s paramount.
3. Time-Based Contract. This type of contract is appropriate when it is difficult to define or fix the scope and the
duration of the services, either because they are related to activities carried out by others for which the
completion period may vary, or because the input of the consultants required for attaining the objectives of the
assignment is difficult to assess. In time-based contracts the Consultant provides services on a timed basis
according to quality specifications, and Consultant's remuneration is determined on the basis of the time
actually spent by the Consultant in carrying out the Services and is based on (i) agreed upon unit rates for the
Consultant's experts multiplied by the actual time spent by the experts in executing the assignment, and (ii)
reimbursable expenses using actual expenses and/or agreed unit prices. This type of contract requires the
Procuring Entity to closely supervise the Consultant and to be involved in the daily execution of the assignment.
4. The templates are designed for use in assignments with consulting firms and shall not be used for contracting
of individual experts. In some consultancy assignments such as design and construction supervision, both
Lump- Sum and Time-Based Contracts are used and signed with the Consultant. In that case, the Lump-Sum
Contract would apply for the design part of the Services while the construction supervision part would be based
on a Time- Based Contract. In such event, both types of contracts shall be signed at the same time.
