Details

The Inter-American Development Bank invites consulting firms to submit their Expression of Interest for the structuring and implementation of a census of formal merchants and informal vendors of the Santa Elena Gallery, in Cali, Colombia. The objective is to establish a georeferenced baseline that contributes to the socioeconomic characterization, the formulation of the Social Management Plan and the feasibility studies for the comprehensive restoration of the Gallery, in coordination with the Special Management and Protection Plan (PEMP) and the Valle Commuter Train Project (TCV).

1. Methodological design of the census

Define the methodology and instruments to collect information on identification, georeferenced location, formality, economic activity, hours of operation, and demographic, ethnic, and vulnerability characteristics of merchants and vendors.

2. Application of the census and collection of information

Carry out the census in the polygon corresponding to the block of the building declared an Asset of Cultural Interest (BIC), generating information that serves as a basis for decision-making on the comprehensive restoration of the Santa Elena Gallery.

3. Conclusions and roadmap for social management

Formulate recommendations based on the results of the census and a roadmap that establishes the next steps, estimated deadlines and relevant actors for the social management of the Gallery within the framework of the MEWP. Interested companies should carefully review the registration requirements on the relevant IDB portal and ensure that all requested information is completed before submitting their Statement of Interest (EOI).

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.

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