- Description
- Recruitment of a firm for the assessment of the real value of the assets to be transferred to the implementing entities 1. The United States of America, acting through the Millennium Challenge Corporation (�MCC�) and the government of Benin (the �Government� or �GoB�) have entered into a Millennium Challenge Compact for Millennium Challenge Account assistance to help facilitate poverty reduction through economic growth in Benin (the �Compact�) in the amount of approximately 391 000 000 USD (�MCC Funding�). The Government, acting through Millennium Challenge Account-Benin II (the �MCA Entity�), intends to apply a portion of the MCC Funding to eligible payments under a contract for which this Invitation for Bids (IFB) is issued. Any payments made by the MCA Entity under the proposed contract will be subject, in all respects, to the terms and conditions of the Compact and related documents, including restrictions on the use and distribution of MCC Funding. No party other than the Government and the MCA Entity shall derive any rights from the Compact or have any claim to the proceeds of MCC Funding. 2. MCC�s funding is appropriated by the U.S. Congress and obligated to the Compact up-front, with no incremental or partial funding. So, when a contract is signed with an MCA Entity, money is already available to the MCA Entity and, for most contracts, invoices are paid directly to Contractors/Bidders/Suppliers by the US Treasury. 3. The Benin Power Program consists of four (4) Projects: (i) Policy Reform and Institutional Strengthening Project; (ii) Electricity Generation Project; (iii) Electricity Distribution Project; and (iv) Off-grid Electricity Access Project. The objective of the program is to increase the productivity and production for businesses, generate more economic opportunities for households and improve the capacity to provide public and social services by improving the quantity and quality of power supply. The Compact will be executed for a period of five (5) years upon the Compact Entry into Force (EIF). The Power Compact of Benin entered into force on June 22, 2017. To meet the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Compact has been extended until June 22, 2023. 4. This Request For Proposals follows the Compact General Procurement Notice N�18 that appeared in dgMarket on October 13th, 2022, UNDB Online on October 14th, 2022, on the MCA Entity website www.mcabenin2.bj on October 18th, 2022, and published in the local newspaper �La Nation� on October 20th and 27th, 2022 and �Le Matinal� on October 20th and 24th, 2022. 5.
