Financial & economic analysis professional services for capital development programme to UCD
UCD wishes to engage suitably qualified professional services companies to provide financial and economic analysis etc to assist UCD assess proposed capital projects e.g. capital appraisals, business plans, process audit / reviews as appropriate. UCD has grouped these services into 3 categories for the purposes of procurement and will form a panel (framework for each).
In summary the 3 categories of services required are:
Panel 1: project rationale.
Panel 2: capital appraisal services.
Panel 3: capital projects process audit services.
Prospective service providers are invited to apply for any or all of the above panels as appropriate, and each panel will form its own framework under procurement procedures. It is envisaged that each panel will consist of between 4 to 8 suitably qualified candidate service providers.
As UCD requires the services in each of the panels for any given capital project, it is intended that a mini-competition will be held to select a service provider for the proposed scope of work.
Please note however, in order to avoid conflicts of interest if suitably qualified candidate service providers are awarded a contract for a particular project, they are automatically excluded from other panels of that project.
All appointed panel members must produce their work in compliance with the following non –exhaustive list of policies/guidelines as appropriate. It is expected that policies and guidelines will be updated over time to reflect current good practice.
1. Guidelines for the appraisal and management of capital expenditure proposals in the public section (Department of Finance: February 2005)
2. Amendments to the existing guidelines and practices on procurement and capital appraisal (Department of Finance: January 2007)
