- USAID/CAR Regional Mission intends to issue a solicitation for one performance-based, cost-reimbursement contract for the Business Environment Improvement Project in Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. The period of performance is anticipated to be 4 years, beginning about September 30, 2006. The goal of the Business Environment Improvement (BEI) Project is to reduce the regulatory and administrative burden for SMEs by working with Governments to streamline processes and through informed and effective dialogue and partnerships between the private sector and public sector. The project will result in better SME policies, deregulation at the local, national and regional level, and proper implementation of laws and regulations, thus leading to an improved business environment for SMEs. Specifically, processes to be targeted will include, but are not necessarily limited to, impediments or obstacles in the following areas: Business licensing and permits; Government inspections; Land site acquisition and obtaining permits for real estate construction and development; Registering or deregistering a business; registering to pay taxes and social payments; Procedures and practices of government procurement of SME products and services; Tax policy and tax administration; Health, safety, technical, environmental, and other business-related regulations. To achieve this goal, the BEI project will have two components: 1) Strengthening of Commercial Law Framework, and 2) Improved Regulatory Processes (IRP). The estimated cost of the contract over the 4 year period is $16 to $17.5 million. It is anticipated that RFP for this work will be issued on/about June 1, 2006 and that award will be made on or before September 30, 2006.
