• To conduct technical verification, supervision, monitoring, and reporting during and after the construction phase of the works carried out by contractors in close cooperation with the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization, and Climate Change (MoEUCC) and building inspection firms, particularly in terms of quality, durability, feasibility, time, and cost, for the buildings selected through a sampling methodology by the UTP PMU.

The detailed Terms of Reference (TOR) for the services are attached to this invitation. The detailed Terms of References (TORs) for the assignments can be found at the following web page address: https://kentseldirenclilik.csb.gov.tr/ The Directorate of Urban Transformation invites eligible consulting firms ("Consultants") to express their interest in providing the Services. Interested Consultants should provide information demonstrating that they have the required qualifications and relevant experience to perform the Services. A consulting firm may submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) individually if it believes it is fully capable of carrying out the assignment alone. It is not mandatory for consultants, whether foreign or local, to form a partnership with any other firm(s). Alternatively, if consultants prefer to enhance their qualifications and capacity for the assignment, such partnerships may be formed as a Joint Venture (where all members of the joint venture shall be jointly and severally liable) and/or as Sub-consultants (where the Consultant shall be responsible for the services of the sub-consultant as well). If a partnership is formed, the Consultants must explain in their EOI submission (a) the justification for forming the partnership and (b) the proposed role and qualifications of each Joint Venture member and/or sub-consultant in executing the assignment. Failure to provide this explanation in the EOI may result in the disqualification of the partnership from the shortlist. Please note that in the evaluation of associations for shortlisting purposes, only the qualifications of Joint Venture members will be considered, while the qualifications of proposed sub-consultants will not be taken into account. The selection criteria are as follows, with special emphasis on the Consultant’s specific experience related to the assignment:

The Consultant (as a firm) must have at least 10 years of general experience in providing construction supervision services prior to the deadline for proposal submission. Experience in providing such services in Türkiye will be considered an asset. The Consultant (as a firm) must have specific experience in providing similar consulting services under contracts of comparable size, type, and complexity within the last ten years prior to the proposal submission deadline.

Note: Key Experts will not be evaluated at the shortlisting stage.

To demonstrate their qualifications and experience in meeting the above shortlisting/selection criteria, Consultants must submit at least the following supporting documents. A consulting firm can only use its own qualifications and experience, not those of
