Submitted rates and prices are deemed to include all costs, insurances, taxes (except VAT, see below), fees, expenses, liabilities, obligations, risk and other things necessary for the performance of the Terms of Reference or Specification of Requirements. IUCN will not accept charges beyond those clearly stated in the Financial Proposal. This includes applicable withholding taxes and similar.

4.6. Additional information not requested by IUCN should not be included in your Proposal and will not be considered in the evaluation.

4.7. Your Proposal must remain valid and capable of acceptance by IUCN for a period of 90 calendar days following the submission deadline.

4.8. Withdrawals and Changes
You may freely withdraw or change your Proposal at any time prior to the submission deadline by written notice to the IUCN Contact. However, in order to reduce the risk of fraud, no changes or withdrawals will be accepted after the submission deadline.

5. EVALUATION OF PROPOSALS
5.1. Completeness
IUCN will firstly check your Proposal for completeness. Incomplete Proposals will not be considered further.

5.2. Pre-Qualification Criteria
Only Proposals that meet all of the pre-qualification criteria will be evaluated.

5.3. Technical Evaluation
5.3.1. Scoring Method
Your Proposal will be assigned a score from 0 to 10 for each of the technical evaluation criteria, such that ‘0’ is low and ‘10’ is high.

5.3.2. Minimum Quality Thresholds
Proposals that receive a score of ‘0’ for any of the criteria will not be considered further.

5.3.3. Technical Score
Your score for each technical evaluation criterion will be multiplied with the respective relative weight (see Section 4.4) and these weighted scores added together to give your Proposal’s overall technical score.

5.4. Financial Evaluation and Financial Scores
The financial evaluation will be based upon the full total price you submit. Your Financial Proposal will receive a score calculated by dividing the lowest Financial Proposal that has passed the minimum quality thresholds (see Section 5.3.2) by the total price of your Financial Proposal.
Thus, for example, if your Financial Proposal is for a total of CHF 100 and the lowest Financial Proposal is CHF 80, you will receive a financial score of 80/100 = 80%

5.5. Total Score
Your Proposal’s total score will be calculated as the weighted sum of your technical score and your financial score.
The relative weights will be:
Technical: 70%
Financial: 30%
Thus, for example, if your technical score is 83% and your financial score is 77%, you will receive a total score of 83 * 70% + 77 * 30% = 58.1% + 23.1% = 81.2%.
Subject to the requirements in Sections 4 and 7, IUCN will award the contract to the bidder whose Proposal achieves the highest total score.

6. EXPLANATION OF PROCUREMENT PROCEDURE
6.1. IUCN is using the Open Procedure for this procurement. This means that the contracting opportunity is published on IUCN’s website and open to all interested parties to take part, subject to the conditions in Section 7 below.

6.2. You are welcome to ask questions or seek clarification regarding this procurement. Please email the IUCN Contact (see Section 2), taking note of the deadline for submission of questions in Section 3.1.

6.3. All Proposals must be received by the submission deadline in Section 3.1 above. Late Proposals will not be considered. All Proposals received by the submission deadline will be evaluated by a team of evaluators in accordance with the evaluation criteria stated in this RfP.
No other criteria will be used to evaluate Proposals. The contract will be awarded to the bidder whose Proposal received the highest Total Score. IUCN does, however, reserve the right to cancel the procurement and not award a contract at all.

6.4. IUCN will contact the bidder with the highest-scoring Proposal to finalise the contract. We will contact unsuccessful bidders after the contract has been awarded and provide detailed feedback.

About the Project
Regenerative Seascape for People, Climate and Nature (ReSea) is a joint initiative by Mission Inclusion and IUCN, in partnership with feminist organizations in Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, Madagascar, and Comoros, funded by Global Affairs Canada under the
Partnering for Climate program. In Mozambique the Project is being implemented in Inhambane Seascape (with focus on Vilanculos and Districts) Its goal is to strengthen coastal communities’ resilience by promoting nature based solutions (NbS) and gender-responsive conservation to protect, restore, and sustainably manage ecosystems while unlocking a regenerative blue economy.
ReSea contributes to the Great Blue Wall (GBW) initiative through three pillars:
 Blue Planet – Scaling effective, equitable, and gender-responsive governance of marine protected and conserved areas (aligned with GBF Target 3).
 Blue Nature – Restoring and conserving critical ecosystems via gender responsive NbS for climate adaptation (aligned with GBF Target 2).
 Blue People – Promoting regenerative blue economy and women’s economic empowerment in nature-based value chains (aligned with GBF Target 9). A cross-cutting Blue Partnerships pillar fosters innovative collaborations between conservation actors and feminist organizations, ensuring inclusive decision making, equal benefits, and strong community leadership. The program draws on local knowledge and works with women’s and youth organizations to design NbS tailored to community needs, delivering transformational change for people, nature, and climate.

Inhambane LMMA Context
Inhambane hosts one of Mozambique’s most significant seascapes (including Bazaruto Archipelago National Park and adjacent protection areas), with critical habitats such as seagrasses and coral reefs and the last viable dugong population in the Western Indian Ocean. Community-led LMMA initiatives have expanded considerably, with around 24 locally managed areas identified across the province. However, formal approvals and coordinated governance mechanisms remain limited. This highlights the need for a structured provincial LMMA network to strengthen coordination, peer learning, advocacy, and systematic monitoring.

Provincial Dialogue Platform Context (PDA–Inhambane)
The Provincial Dialogue Platform on Environment (PDA–Inhambane) is a government-led multi-stakeholder mechanism, led by the Provincial Government, with IUCN serving as Technical Secretariat. The PDA promotes inclusive, integrated governance across terrestrial, coastal and marine domains and provides an institutional home for thematic working groups and coordinated action.

Inhambane Provincial LMMA Network, aligned with WIOMPAN entry requirements and provincial institutional realities. Key tasks include:
i. Situational Assessment: Conduct a comprehensive mapping of LMMA initiatives, key stakeholders, governance arrangements, and relevant legal frameworks to identify gaps and opportunities.
ii. Review and Alignment of ToRs: Build on the existing IUCN internal draft Terms of Reference (ToRs) for a provincial LMMA network in Inhambane, ensuring alignment with WIOMPAN standards, provincial realities, and the structure of the Provincial Dialogue Platform.
iii. Stakeholder Consultations & Validation: Facilitate inclusive stakeholder consultations to review, refine, and validate the ToRs.
iv. WIOMPAN Integration Package: Develop a package outlining the LMMA network mandate, the governance interface between the LMMA network and WIOMPAN, reporting and knowledgesharing mechanisms, and a threeyear acti4th on plan with an aligned resource mobilisation strategy.
v. Initial Operationalization: Finalize draft ToRs, convene the inaugural meeting of the Provincial LMMA Network task force, and mentor the interim secretariat to begin implementation.
