Details

Dear Bidder, The International Labour Office (ILO) is looking for an individual to undertake work as an External Collaborator. Below is a summary of the work to be performed: The external collaborator is expected to conduct research on labour and international protection safeguards and outcomes of labour mobility pathways for refugees in Lebanon and Jordan to Europe and how they ensure decent work outcomes and continuity and retention in employment. The study should also examine the key challenges affecting refugees and other stakeholders (e.g., costs, duration of employment, right for family reunification, etc.) and seeks to inform efforts to address challenges in pathway design and implementation. The external collaborator is expected to deliver a final research outcome report following ILO branding and design guidelines, containing identified good practices, actionable recommendations for design and implementation pathways in line with international labour standards, and ways for States and stakeholders to make them more accessible and effective for workers and employers. The outcomes of the study will be presented at the upcoming global knowledge-sharing event on labour mobility pathways for refugees by the external collaborator. If you are interested, please express interest and follow the instructions attached to consult the detailed terms of reference and other relevant information in the ILO e-sourcing platform. Please submit your proposal before the specified deadline. Thank you.

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
