LJUBLJANA (Slovenia), March 6 (SeeNews) – The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development said on Wednesday it is seeking a consultant to support Slovenia’s government in establishing a centralised investment evaluation unit (IEU).
The objective of the IEU is to strengthen the capacity and harmonise the approach for assessing public investment at both national and sub-national levels of government, the EBRD said in a procurement notice.
The consultant will help the finance ministry identify and propose potential operational models for an IEU, as well as develop a framework for the screening of project investment documentation and leveraging of financing opportunities. It will also support the ministry in developing a set of guidelines to help IEU staff analyse the financial structure of a project and, where possible, encourage private co-investment.
The estimated cost of the assignment is 170,500 euro ($192,988), exclusive of VAT, and will be financed by the European Commission’s Structural Reform Support Programme.
The assignment is expected to start in April 2019 and has an estimated overall duration of 11 months.
