Assignment Title: Development of FBiH SDI data standards and model Reference No. (as per Procurement Plan): A.1.2.1 Bosnia and Herzegovina and Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, through sub-agreement with Bosnia and Herzegovina has received financing from the World Bank toward the cost of the Geospatial Infrastructure and Valuation Enhancement Project (GIVE), and intends to apply part of the proceeds for consulting services. The consulting services (“the Services”) include establishing a repeatable methodology, set of deliverables and acceptance criteria for developing, implementing, and testing spatial data models for spatial data sources of SDI stakeholders. A systematic approach to spatial data model design must be established by defining the conceptual, logical, and physical structures for the selected sources, in line with the relevant international standards (such as ISO, OGC, INSPIRE, Law on SDI FBiH) and requests from SDI stakeholders. This will lay the foundation for long-term interoperability, better organization and accessibility of stakeholder data, and strengthen the role of the SDI as a framework for the digital transformation of public administration and more effective spatial data management in the Federation of BiH. This shall be used for contracting a Framework Agreement (FA), under which the Procuring Agency may issue multiple Call-Off Contracts/Work Orders. Each Call-Off Contract shall cover one clearly identified spatial data source (or theme) and shall be implemented through the phases and deliverables defined in Terms of Reference (ToR). For each Call-Off Contract, the Procuring Agency shall issue an Assignment Brief specifying: (i) the spatial data source/theme and responsible SDI stakeholder, (ii) available input datasets and formats, (iii) scope boundaries and assumptions, (iv) test environment and access arrangements, and (v) any source-specific constraints. The Framework Agreement shall be concluded for a Term of 3 years, from the commencement date stated in the Framework Agreement. The initial term may be extended by a maximum of two additional years. The selection of a FA Consultant to be awarded a Call-off Contract will be done through a Secondary Procurement process as defined in Framework Agreement. However, the conclusion of a Framework Agreement shall not impose any obligation on the Procuring Agency, including participating Employers, to purchase Consulting under a Call-off Contract. The overall deadline for the Call-off Contract implementation shall be 180 calendar days from the signing of the Call-off Contract. The Terms of Reference (TOR) for the primary procurement stage for the assignment can be found at the following website: http://fgu.com.ba/ The Federal Administration for Geodetic and Real Property Affairs now invites eligible consulting firms (“Consultants”) to indicate their interest in providing the Services. Interested Consultants should provide information demonstrating that they have the required qualifications and relevant experience to perform the Services. At the initial stage, the evaluation shall be based solely on the qualifications and experience of the Consulting Firm (as an individual firm or as a joint venture/consortium). Curricula vitae (CVs) of Key Experts are not required and shall not be evaluated at the shortlisting stage. The maximum score is 100 points, awarded based on the cumulative assessment of the shortlisting criteria. An EoI shall be considered responsive and eligible for shortlisting only if it achieves a minimum score of fifty (50) points out of one hundred (100). Consultants may associate with other firms to enhance their qualifications, but should indicate clearly whether the association is in the form of a joint venture and/or a sub-consultancy. For JV/consortium submissions, the EoI shall clearly indicate: (i) the Lead Partner, (ii) the roles and responsibilities of each member, and (iii) proposed coordination arrangements. Shortlisting criteria may be fulfilled cumulatively by the JV/consortium, meaning that relevant experience, references, and capacity of all JV/consortium members may be aggregated and considered in the evaluation, considering their proposed roles and responsibilities. The Lead Partner shall act as the primary point of contact for FGA.
