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 ILO seeks a qualified South African National SCORE Expert to support implementation of the Port of Cape Town Operational Excellence Programme (2027–2028), aimed at improving productivity, workplace cooperation and continuous improvement at the Cape Town Container Terminal (CTCT).

Working with an International SCORE Expert, the consultant will assess prospective trainers from CTCT and Transnet Academy, adapt SCORE training materials to port operations and co-deliver the first SCORE Training of Trainers (ToT).

Following the ToT, the consultant will provide at least 16 months of regular on-site coaching, mentoring and implementation support to internal trainers and Enterprise Improvement Teams. Activities will focus on applying SCORE tools to operational challenges, strengthening worker-management cooperation, facilitating structured problem-solving, monitoring improvement actions and results, and delivering refresher training as needed.

The consultant will also support the progressive integration of SCORE into CTCT operations and Transnet Academy, providing regular progress reports and a final assessment with recommendations for sustainable internal capacity and institutionalisation.

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 education & training 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.
  • 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.
