Completeness IUCN will firstly check your proposal for completeness. Incomplete proposals will not be considered further. 5.2. Technical Evaluation 5.2.1. 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. 5.2.2. Minimum Quality Thresholds Proposals that receive a score of ‘0’ for any of the criteria will not be considered further. 5.2.3. 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. 5.3. 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 5.2.2) 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% 5.4. 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%. IUCN: Request for Proposals Page 5 of 14 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.

IUCN typically invites from four to six bidders to submit a proposal. 6.2. You are welcome to ask questions or seek clarification regarding this procurement.

Background About IUCN IUCN is a membership Union uniquely composed of both government and civil society organisations. It provides public, private and non-governmental organisations with the knowledge and tools that enable human progress, economic development and nature conservation to take place together.

Working with many partners and supporters, IUCN implements a large and diverse portfolio of conservation projects worldwide. Combining the latest science with the traditional knowledge of local communities, these projects work to reverse habitat loss, restore ecosystems and improve people’s well-being. www.iucn.org https://twitter.com/IUCN/ IUCN: Request for Proposals Page 9 of 14 About the Project The Vice President’s Office, in collaboration with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and with technical support from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)-Tanzania, is implementing a project entitled “Supporting Implementation of Integrated Ecosystems Management Approach for Landscape Restoration and Biodiversity Conservation in Tanzania”. The project is under global programme, The Restoration Initiative (TRI) which is being implemented by 10 countries including Tanzania. The Tanzania TRI child project is a five year-project (2021-2025) financed by a grant from Global Environmental Facility (GEF) amounting to USD 11,205,872. The project is implemented in 7 district councils located in two landscapes of the Great Ruaha and the Lake Rukwa basins. The district councils are Iringa, Wanging’ombe, Mbarali, Mbeya in the Great Ruaha basin and Sumbawanga, Mpimbwe and Tanganyika in Lake Rukwa Basin. The project covers 54 Villages selected from 18 Wards and it is expected to benefit over 100,000 households. The overall objective of the Tanzania child project is to strengthen integrated natural resource management and restoration of degraded landscapes for resilient socio-ecological systems in Tanzania. Specific objectives are: i. To enhance the national enabling environment and capacity of actors for sustainable landscape restoration (SLR) efforts and commitment to SLR; ii. To improve landscape management through the implementation of restoration plans and integrated landscape management practices in selected project sites; iii. To develop and share knowledge, disseminate good practices, and appropriate monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems and financing arrangements that support adaptive management of SLR interventions and strategies. Description of the Assignment The benefits and positive impacts of sustainable landscape restoration interventions are inadequately documented and disseminated to a broader group of stakeholders. This limits wide-scale adoption and scale up of SLR practices and technologies by communities and other key actors in the project landscapes and national levels. Recognizing this gap, the Project sets out to prepare and disseminate tailored communication materials on SLR and its positive impact on landscape management. To achieve this, the Project is seeking a service provider to prepare video and audio spots to effectively communicate and promote the impact of the project to a wider audience. This involves creating spots that highlight the key messages to advocate for and raise awareness about the project through direct interaction with project team members, government leaders, and selected beneficiaries across all project districts. The assignment will cover Dar-es-salaam, Dodoma and the Project District Councils which are Iringa, Wanging’ombe, Mbarali and Mbeya in the Great Ruaha Basin; and Sumbawanga, Mpimbwe and Tanganyika in the Lake Rukwa Basin. Overall, the consultant will undertake the following: IUCN: Request for Proposals Page 10 of 14 a) review relevant project documentations on SLR initiatives and produce tailored audio and video scripts to be reflected in audio and video spots; b) conduct impromptu interviews with selected project beneficiaries and partners; c) produce audio and video spots focusing on benefits and impact of SLR initiatives.
