Details

Dear Bidder,

The ILO seeks an external collaborator to support the Better Work programme in strengthening the management systems component of its new factory engagement model and in supporting the implementation of a Beyond Tier One pilot in Sri Lanka. The assignment will include reviewing existing Better Work management systems materials and developing simple, practical templates and guidance to support Enterprise Advisors in coaching factories on the implementation of management systems, with a focus on occupational safety and health (OSH) and human resources (HR). The external collaborator will also provide up to four virtual coaching sessions for Enterprise Advisors on the practical application of management systems and the use of the developed tools, and provide recommendations on further strengthening Better Work’s management systems tools and approach.

The Sri Lanka component will support the Beyond Tier One pilot through the development of a workplan, a needs assessment and stakeholder validation, coordination of at least two training-of-trainers (ToT) events based on identified needs, post-ToT coaching, and a short report documenting key activities and findings. As this component requires in-country stakeholder engagement and on-the-ground support, applicants must be based in Sri Lanka and available to undertake the required activities in person.

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 for this capacity building & technical assistance opportunity. 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.

  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
