REQUEST FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST
The Government of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (GOSVG) has received financing from the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) towards the cost of Canouan Airport Rehabilitation Project and intends to apply a portion of the proceeds of this financing to eligible payments under a contract to which this invitation is issued. Payments by CDB will be made only at the request of GOSVG and upon approval by CDB and will be subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of the Financing Agreement. The Financing Agreement prohibits withdrawal from the financing account for the purpose of any payment to persons or entities, or for any import of goods, if such payment or import, to the knowledge of CDB, is prohibited by a decision of the United Nations Security Council taken under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations. No party other than GOSVG shall derive any rights from the Financing Agreement or have any claim to the proceeds of the Financing.
The Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure and Physical Planning (MTIPP), the Executing Agency, now wishes to procure consultancy services for a Project Coordinator (PC).
The objective of the consultancy is to provide project coordination services to ensure the effective implementation of the project. The duration of the assignment is expected to be for a period of twenty-four (24) consecutive months.
MTIPP now invites interested, eligible individual consultants to submit Expressions of Interest indicating qualifications and experience required to provide these consultancy services.
Eligibility
Consultants shall be eligible to participate if:

Eligible countries are member countries of CDB. Consultants are advised to review the detailed eligibility criteria detailed in Section 4 and conflict of interest provisions in Section 5 of the Procurement Procedures for Projects Financed by CDB (January, 2021), as published on CDB’s website.
