2.1.2 The consultants are invited to submit a Technical Proposal and a Financial
Proposal, or a Technical Proposal only, as specified in the Appendix “ITC”
for consulting services required for the assignment named in the said

invited consultants who intend to submit proposals.

2.2.2 At any time before the submission of proposals, the Client may for any
reason, whether at his own initiative or in response to a clarification
requested by an invited firm, amend the RFP. Any amendment shall be
issued in writing through addenda. Addenda shall be sent by mail, cable,

associate with the other consultants invited for this assignment. Any
firms associating in contravention of this requirement shall

consultant wishes to contact the Client on any matter related to his proposal,

proposal comparison or Contract award decisions may result in the rejection

Proposals until the technical evaluation is concluded.

of reference

2.8.1 After Technical Proposal evaluation, the Client shall notify those consultants
whose proposals did not meet the minimum qualifying mark or were
considered
Non-responsive to the RFP and Terms of Reference, indicating that their
Financial Proposals will be returned after completing the selection process.
The Client shall simultaneously notify the consultants who have secured the
minimum qualifying mark, indicating the date and time set for opening the
Financial Proposals and stating that the opening ceremony is open to those
consultants who choose to attend. The opening date shall not be sooner than

11
 seven (7) days after the notification date. The notification may be sent by
registered letter, cable, telex, facsimile or electronic mail.

2.8.2 The Financial Proposals shall be opened publicly in the presence of the
consultants’ representatives who choose to attend. The name of the
consultant, the technical. Scores and the proposed prices shall be read aloud
and recorded when the Financial Proposals are opened. The Client shall
prepare minutes of the public opening.

2.8.3 The evaluation committee will determine whether the financial proposals are
complete (i.e. whether the consultant has costed all the items of the
corresponding Technical Proposal and correct any computational errors.
The cost of any unpriced items shall be assumed to be included in other
costs in the proposal. In all cases, the total price of the Financial Proposal as
submitted shall prevail.

2.8.4 While comparing proposal prices between local and foreign firms
participating in a selection process in financial evaluation of Proposals, firms
incorporated in Kenya where indigenous Kenyans own 51% or more of the
share capital shall be allowed a 10% preferential bias in proposal prices.
However, there shall be no such preference in the technical evaluation of the
tenders. Proof of local incorporation and citizenship shall be required before
the provisions of this sub-clause are applied. Details of such proof shall be
attached by the Consultant in the financial proposal.

2.8.5 The formulae for determining the Financial Score (Sf) shall, unless an
alternative formulae is indicated in the Appendix “ITC”, be as follows:-
Sf = 100 X FM/F where Sf is the financial score; Fm is the lowest priced
financial proposal and F is the price of the proposal under consideration.
Proposals will be ranked according to their combined technical (St) and
financial (Sf) scores using the weights (T=the weight given to the Technical
Proposal: P = the weight given to the Financial Proposal; T + p = I)
indicated in the Appendix. The combined technical and financial score, S, is
calculated as follows:- S = St x T % + Sf x P %. The firm achieving the
highest combined technical and financial score will be invited for
negotiations.
2.8.6 The tender evaluation committee shall evaluate the tender within 30 days of
from the date of opening the tender.

days of receiving the request.

information to the Client” indicated in the Appendix “ITC”. The aim is to
reach agreement on all points and sign a contract.

2.9.2 Negotiations will include a discussion of the Technical Proposal, the

proposed methodology (work plan), staffing and any suggestions made by
the firm to improve the Terms of Reference. The Client and firm will then
work out final Terms of Reference, staffing and bar charts indicating
activities, staff periods in the field and in the head office, staff-months,
logistics and reporting. The agreed work plan and final Terms of Reference
will then be incorporated in the “Description of Services” and form part of
the Contract. Special attention will be paid to getting the most the firm can
offer within the available budget and to clearly defining the inputs required
from the Client to ensure satisfactory implementation of the assignment.

2.9.3 Unless there are exceptional reasons, the financial negotiations will not
involve the remuneration rates for staff (no breakdown of fees).

2.9.4 Having selected the firm on the basis of, among other things, an evaluation
of proposed key professional staff, the Client expects to negotiate a contract
on the basis of the experts named in the proposal. Before contract
negotiations, the Client will require assurances that the experts will be
actually available. The Client will not consider substitutions during contract
negotiations unless both parties agree that undue delay in the selection
process makes such substitution unavoidable or that such changes are critical
to meet the objectives of the assignment. If this is not the case and if it is
established that key staff were offered in the proposal without confirming
their availability, the firm may be disqualified.

2.9.5 The negotiations will conclude with a review of the draft form of the
Contract. To complete negotiations the Client and the selected firm will
initial the agreed Contract. If negotiations fail, the Client will invite the
firm whose proposal received the second highest score to negotiate a
contract.

13
2.9.6 The procuring entity shall appoint a team for the purpose of the negotiations.

2.10 Award of Contract

2.10.1The Contract will be awarded following negotiations. After negotiations are

completed, the Client will promptly notify other consultants on the shortlist
that they were unsuccessful and return the Financial Proposals of those
consultants who did not pass the technical evaluation.

2.10.2The selected firm is expected to commence the assignment on the date and at
the location specified in Appendix “A”.

2.10.3 The parties to the contract shall have it signed within 30 days from the date
of notification of contract award unless there is an administrative review
request.

2.10.4 The procuring entity may at any time terminate procurement proceedings
before contract award and shall not be liable to any person for the
termination.

2.10.5 The procuring entity shall give prompt notice of the termination to the
tenderers and on request give its reasons for termination within 14 days of
receiving the request from any tenderer.

2.10.6 To qualify for contract awards, the tenderer shall have the following:

facilities to provide what is being procured.

the foregoing.
(d) Shall not be debarred from participating in public procurement.

2.11 Confidentiality

concerning awards shall not be disclosed to the consultants who submitted
the proposals or to other persons not officially concerned with the process,
until the winning firm has been notified that it has been awarded the
Contract.

14
2.12 Corrupt or fraudulent practices

2.12.1The procuring entity requires that the consultants observe the highest
standards of ethics during the selection and award of the consultancy
contract and also during the performance of the assignment. The tenderer
shall sign a declaration that he has not and will not be involved in corrupt or
fraudulent practices.

2.12.2 The procuring entity will reject a proposal for award if it determines that the
consultant recommended for award has engaged in corrupt or fraudulent
practices in competing for the contract in question.

2.12.3 Further a consultant who is found to have indulged in corrupt or fraudulent

practices risks being debarred from participating in public procurement in
Kenya.

APPENDIX A
TERMS OF REFERENCE
Background
Five (5) years ago, Her Excellency Margaret Kenyatta, the First Lady of the
Republic of Kenya launched her Strategic Framework for Engagement in HIV
Control and Promotion of Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health (MNCH) in
Kenya 2013-2017. The Framework has been the guiding instrument towards
implementing her programmes. It has provided the plan and approach for her
strategic engagement in high-impact catalytic interventions and galvanizing high-
level leadership towards:
1. ending new HIV infections and women and child mortality; ensuring zero
preventable deaths of mothers and children;
2. guaranteeing adequate skilled birth attendants to attend to women and their
babies during pregnancy, delivery, and after birth;
3. expanding HIV testing, prevention and treatment to reduce mother-to-child
transmission of HIV;
4. ensuring universal immunization coverage for all babies against childhood
illness; providing adequate coverage in the use of insecticide-treated
mosquito bed nets;
5. supporting exclusive breastfeeding for all infants for the first six months;
and
6. spreading awareness on cancer prevention and good healthy lifestyles among
the citizens.
On 24th January 2014, Her Excellency launched the Beyond Zero Campaign
against a backdrop of shocking national HIV, maternal, and child heath indicators
in Kenya. Its goal was to advance awareness of the link between good health and a
strong nation, specifically demonstrating the importance of maternal, newborn, and
child health.

In 2013, Kenya was among the ten most dangerous countries globally for a woman
to get pregnant, for a child to be born, and to be an HIV patient

Some key MNCH indicators in Kenya in 2013

Number of women aged 15 and older were living with HIV 820,000
in Kenya 1
Proportion of AIDS-related maternal mortality (%) 2 20
3
Number of AIDS-orphans 1,000,000
4
Number of HIV infections in children 13, 000

Proportion of HIV+ children on ARV (%) 5 42.5

Since then, Her Excellency has been in the forefront, steering conversations,
partnerships and investment, policy action, as well as public awareness. This has
inspired prioritization and change; and has contributed to significant decline in
maternal & child mortality, reduction in HIV transmission and expanded
investment in MNCH.
The Campaign’s comprehensive and multi-component approach for supporting and
strengthening public health delivery in general has provided the much-needed
momentum for the much-vaunted goal of avoidable zero maternal, child, and HIV
deaths. Her Excellency remains committed in her service to Kenyans and it is her
desire that her engagement and advocacy role remain strategic in order to impact
many more lives.
