How they buy

Across the research, studies & evaluation notices we currently hold for Somalia, the most common form is the request for proposal, followed by expression of interest. Each has its own rules — see RFP, RFQ and EOI compared and tendering procedures explained.

What qualifies you

Research and evaluation assignments are commissioned by UN agencies, development banks, bilateral donors and international NGOs, and are almost always awarded on quality-and-cost rather than price alone — commonly 70:30 or 80:20 in favour of the technical proposal. The decisive elements are the proposed methodology, the named team and the evaluator's independence from the programme being assessed. Expect to be asked for a sampling frame, an analysis plan, ethics and safeguarding arrangements for research with human subjects, and prior assignments of comparable scope. Terms of reference frequently name a specific framework — the OECD-DAC criteria for evaluations, or a donor's own results framework — and a proposal that ignores it loses marks that were freely available. Data ownership and publication rights normally sit with the commissioning agency; check whether you may cite the work later.

Before committing effort, it is worth running a deliberate bid/no-bid decision and checking your submission against the responsiveness checklist.
