Dear Bidder,

The International Labour Office (ILO) is looking for an individual consultant to undertake work as an External Collaborator.

Below is a summary of the work to be performed:

The ILO seeks an individual consultant with extensive expertise in maritime labour inspection and enforcement to revise the Guidelines for flag State inspections under the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006, as amended, and the Guidelines for port State control officers carrying out inspections under the Convention. The consultant will review the 2022 and 2025 amendments to the MLC, 2006, prepare a mapping of affected provisions, update both Guidelines by drafting new or modifying existing text using tracked changes, prepare an explanatory note on revisions made, participate in virtual review meetings and finalize the documents following ILO comments.

The assignment is home-based, estimated to require approximately 25 working days over an eleven-week period. Payment is made upon satisfactory completion and acceptance by ILO of all deliverables.

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 financial & professional services 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.
