New clarification added: Dear bidder,Please see our clarifications below:1a. Please clarify the definition of "agent" specified in the UNOPS General Conditions of Contract. - “Agent” is someone who has the authority to affect the legal relations of another person (the “Principal”) by or with respect to a contract with a third party, whether the agent acts in its own name or in that of the principal. In other words, from our standpoint and in line with the GCCs, as the Contractor is defined to be an Independent Contractor and there is no authority for the Contractor to enter into any legal contract with a third party on our behalf. They do so on their own in order to satisfy their obligations under our agreement with them. This ensures that no Contractor who is in a legal agreement with UNOPS is going to third parties and stating that they are our “Agent” and that they have legal authority to bind UNOPS to obligations.1b. Does UNOPS have any agent for this project? If yes, could you please share the name of the agent and their roles/involvement in the tender/project? Will all UNOPS tenders/projects have the same agent or can it be different for different projects? - No, we do not have any specific agent.2. If we are going to bid in association with other firms in the global network, do we still need to submit Form A? Or can we use other forms of document, e.g., a Letter of Association instead?- Yes, please submit Form A for all parties of the Joint Venture/ Consortium/ Association. Kindly note that the payment be made to the main contractor only.Best regards,

Please confirm whether these are the target sectors.Deliverable 6 requires the drafting of the regulation on energy efficiency. We understand that the consultant's role would be to provide and draft technical information for the regulation. However, the legal drafting, lawmaking, and passing of the legislation/regulation are outside the consultant's scope of work. Please confirm.- These two questions are not relevant to the current project. It pertains to the "Strengthening Implementation of Government Regulation on Energy Conservation" project.3. Since CBAM has been introduced only recently (2023 onwards), it may be clarified what is meant by ‘similar projects’or ‘similar services’ in points 1 and 2 of Qualification Criteria.- Please review and comprehend the context of the TOR, especially focusing on the deliverables. The term "similar project" does not necessarily imply a requirement for experience specifically in CBAM. Rather, it indicates experience in conducting impact assessments of policies that could influence the economy and sectoral decarbonization.4. In Technical Criteria section 1: Offeror’s qualification, capacity and expertise, Point 1.1 (1), it may be clarified what is meant by ‘comparable size’. A range of project size may please be provided.- The term "comparable size" pertains to the scope of the project as outlined in the ToR, specifically within the deliverables section. This encompasses factors such as the depth of analysis and the overall scope of the project.5.

Also, it may be clarified whether the cost of additional experts will need to be provided in the financial proposal.- 1. No specific scores are allocated for additional experts, however, it depends on the approach and methodology of the bidders if the additional expert is required and adds value to the quality of work to be provided. UNOPS will review and provide the scores based on the points allocated for each criterion and better scores will be given if UNOPS finds that the approach of adding an expert has a positive impact to be performing the works under section 2.

Costing of additional experts: all costs related to the resources to support the implementation of works as per scopes in the ToR should be presented in the financial proposal.6.

It may be clarified if JV can be interpreted as a ‘consortium’ for this RfP.- The bidder may associate with a local indonesia in a form consortium, hower, this would not prevail the main responsibility of the lead consuting firm against the agreement with UNOPS in case of contract award.Best regards,
