New clarification added: Question: Can Cities Alliance provide guidance regarding expected resource inputs (number of working days) or a budget range for the completion of the assignment?Answer: The total duration of the contract is mentioned in clause 06 of Section II - Schedule of requirements along with key personnel required in clause 07.

Question: Can Cities Alliance provide clarification regarding technical proposal format, specifically regarding requirements in Form C.

New clarification added: Question: The timeline indicated in the schedule for requirements mentions that the report should be finalised by the end of august 2021, but the contract is expected to be awarded on the 11th of august (as mentioned in the tender particulars), and many people will be on vacation in august so it seems complicated to conduct all the interviews in this timeline. Is it therefore possible to propose an alternative and more realistic timeline in our offer?Answer: Bidders can propose the timelines in their offer, which will be compared with the requirements of the project and if required, will be clarified during the evaluation stage.
