As part of our vision of working to shape a future worth living around the world, GIZ provides Finance Arrangement opportunities to various partners and beneficiaries in the Republic of South Africa and Lesotho. Depending on the recipient type and outcome of the due diligence process, GIZ typically enters into 3 types of financing arrangements: Financing Agreements, Local Contributions, or Grant Agreements. As part of our due diligence process, potential direct contracting partners are required to undergo an assessment for commercial and legal eligibility. The assessments - known as Kaufmännische Eignungs Prüfung (KEP) or commercial and legal eligibility checks - demand thorough examination of potential recipients in line with comprehensive predetermined GIZ regulations and aim to strengthen the capacities of less established recipients. Based on this background, the Consultant should proceed to reasonably assess the organizations, considering the minimum requirements from GIZ and making recommendations for risk mitigations measures. The relevant KEP Guidelines and templates for completion, are provided to the consultants to enable this important work. The subject of this tender is the conclusion of a framework agreement for the commercial and legal eligibility checks (KEP) in compliance with the GIZ standard

GIZ invites eligible and professional companies with local presence in South Africa to participate in this tender.
