2 If yes, are firms who are bidding for

Data Quality Review with

MCA-Senegal eligible to participate in these tenders?

As mentioned above, firms are not eligible to apply for this opportunity. However, it would be a conflict of interest to perform both the Data Quality Review and assist in monitoring and evaluation tasks related to the development of the compact's M&E plan. Please see Section F, Conflict of

Interest, in the Statement of Work (Attachment 3 of the RFQ).

3 What key staff are required for this work? And what academic and professional profile should they satisfy?

The independent consultant is the key person and their qualifications are listed in paragraph 10, Evaluation Factors, of the Request for Quote.

4 Are all staff required to be local? Please see Section J, Performance Location, in the Statement of

Work (Attachment 3 of the RFQ).

5 What is the estimated budget for this consultancy?

MCC will not disclose its estimated budget; however, it is estimated that the effort will take 2,448 hours over three years to complete the required tasks. Please see Section I, Period of

Performance, in the Statement of Work (Attachment 3 of the

RFQ).

6 Is the M&E Plan development task to be completed before the new

Compact team is in place, early

2020?

Work under this consultancy will take place over a three-year period of time. Task 2: M&E plan development occurs based on the deadline for M&E plan completion.
