signs the Contract for the Services with the selected Consultant.
d) “Consultant” means a legally established professional consulting firm or an entity that may
provide or provides the Services to the Procuring Entity under the Contract.
e) “Contract” means a legally binding written agreement signed between the Procuring Entity and
the Consultant and includes all the attached documents listed in its Clause 1 (the General
Conditions of Contract (GCC), the Special Conditions of Contract (SCC), and the Appendices).
f) “Data Sheet” means an integral part of the Instructions to Consultants (ITC)

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.
