Experts for Global Evaluation LTA with UNICEF

IMC Worldwide is seeking experts for an “Expert Pool” for a proposal we are submitting to UNICEF for a Long-Term Arrangement (LTA) for Country Programme Evaluations (CPEs), Impact Evaluations, and Multi-country and Country-specific Programmatic Evaluations in UNICEF.

The LTA will run for two years with the possibility to extend the contract an additional 5 years. Firms who are awarded the LTA will be given the opportunity to compete for specific evaluation Terms of References (ToRs) issued by UNICEF at the HQ, Regional and Country office levels during secondary bidding.

IMC is seeking experts to include in our “Expert Pool” in the LTA proposal. During secondary bidding, IMC will engage experts from the “Expert Pool” based on their skillset and experience related to the specific ToR issued. Since this is an LTA, there is no guarantee of level of effort at this stage. Experts in the “Expert Pool” will be consulted before being including in a proposal during secondary bidding to see if they are available and interested for a specific ToR.

Should experts be included on a team they will provide monitoring and evaluation expertise as well as subject matter expertise in areas related to UNICEF. This include developing evaluation tools, frameworks, and approaches, undertaking or providing quality assurance for data collection, assisting with analysis and reporting.
