The Socialist Republic of Vietnam has received a grant from the Green Climate Fund (GCF) through the World Bank (WB) for the Vietnam Scaling Up Energy Efficiency Project (VSUEE Project). The project will provide TA to support the implementation of VNEEP’s targets and the Paris Agreement on climate change mitigation measures in the industrial and energy sector. In addition, capacity building activities will address the knowledge, institutional, and capacity-building needs of the relevant stakeholders in the management and development of a national mechanism and policies on EE. Those efforts will be accompanied by the establishment of a risk-sharing facility, backed by a GCF Guarantee instrument, which aims to address current regulatory barriers to access commercial capital, mobilize local bank financing, and encourage stakeholders such as industrial enterprises and commercial banks to implement projects and develop an EE investment market. The project consists of two components: (i) GCF Risk Sharing Facility; (ii) Technical Assistance. The VSUEE Project Management Board (PMB) intends to use part of its grant to recruit a qualified consulting firm to assist the PMB in the development, maintenances and administrations of a project website.

The VSUEE Project is being implemented by the Department of Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Development (EESD) under Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT), through a Project Management Board (PMB). The VSUEE PMB will recruit one consulting firm to implement the mentioned above consultation service.

The Consulting Firm will carry out the service on development, maintenances and administration of a project website. The objective of the assignment is to create a website as a knowledge management tool for the project to deliver information on the project implementation and project outcomes to its stakeholders; to operate, maintain and transfer the website to the EESD of MOIT. The assignment is expected to start in April 2023 with the contract duration of 34 months.

The VSUEE PMB now invites eligible consulting firms to indicate their interest in providing the Services. Interested consulting firms must provide information indicating that they are qualified to perform the services (brochures, demonstration of experience in similar assignments, experience in similar conditions, availability of appropriate skills among staff, etc.).
