How to apply
Ethical considerations
In each study, IJM and its contractors have an ethical obligation to ensure that participants can choose and participate in the study, without coercion or other factors that may impede your ability to weigh potential risks and benefits accurately.
IJM has developed a measurement protocol, which defines in detail the procedures for measuring protection domains with the ethical considerations due to all the people participating in the study.
Contractor Selection
The presentation of a technical and economic offer from the Confidence, Prevalence and Dependence domains is requested, incorporating the interview survey of trauma informed care officials and information systems officials.
The pre-selected proposal will be the one with the highest score in the total evaluation (technical + economic).
On the economic proposal
An economic offer must be included for each of the three scenarios requested. The economic offer must indicate the price reflected in dollars and lempiras, in numbers and letters, including the applicable taxes of law for Honduras, since payments will be made from the IJM El Salvador office. Updated certification of the tax registry and information of the legal representative of the company must be attached.
A maximum score of twenty ( 20 ) points will be assigned to the cheapest offer, and the rest of the proposals will be assigned the score proportionally according to the following formula: Value of the cheapest proposal ∗ 20 / Value of the evaluated proposal.
Final considerations
IJM is not obliged to disclose to the proponents information on the other proposals received or on the details of the evaluation process. The criteria described above will be evaluated by a committee, who will assign the qualification that in its concept corresponds to what is presented by each proponent for each of the defined variables. If selected, the proponent must guarantee that the profiles indicated for the work team are those that effectively participate in the project, for this, In the event that any of the team members changes, their replacement must have at least similar academic training and years of work experience and must be approved by IJM.
