5. EVALUATION OF PROPOSALS
5.1. Completeness
IUCN will firstly check your Proposal for completeness. Incomplete Proposals will not be considered further.
5.2. Pre-Qualification Criteria
Only Proposals that meet all of the pre-qualification criteria will be evaluated.
5.3. Technical Evaluation
5.3.1. Scoring Method
Your Proposal will be assigned a score from 0 to 10 for each of the technical evaluation criteria, such that ‘0’ is low and ‘10’ is high.
5.3.2. Minimum Quality Thresholds
Proposals that receive a score of ‘0’ for any of the criteria will not be considered further.
5.3.3. Technical Score
Your score for each technical evaluation criterion will be multiplied with the respective relative weight (see Section 4.4) and these weighted scores added together to give your Proposal’s overall technical score.
5.4. Financial Evaluation and Financial Scores
The financial evaluation will be based upon the full total price you submit. Your Financial Proposal will receive a score calculated by dividing the lowest Financial Proposal that has passed the minimum quality thresholds (see Section 5.3.2) by the total price of your Financial Proposal.
Thus, for example, if your Financial Proposal is for a total of CHF 100 and the lowest Financial Proposal is CHF 80, you will receive a financial score of 80/100 = 80%
5.5. Total Score
Your Proposal’s total score will be calculated as the weighted sum of your technical score and your financial score.
The relative weights will be:
Technical: 70%
Financial: 30%
Thus, for example, if your technical score is 83% and your financial score is 77%, you will receive a total score of 83 * 70% + 77 * 30% = 58.1% + 23.1% = 81.2%.

About the Project
Pamoja Tuhifadhi Bahari Yetu Project is a 4-year initiative (2024 – 2028) aiming to contribute to the improved environmental protection and biodiversity conservation of the coastal and marine ecosystems in Tanzania. Funded by the European Union through the Blue Economy for job creation and climate change adaptation, the project is implemented in parts of the Mtwara, Lindi, Coast and Dar es Salaam regions (Mainland) and Unguja Island in Zanzibar. The total project budget is 11.4M Euros. The initiative will contribute to a climate-resilient Blue Economy on the Tanzanian coastal cities and ecosystems. The project implementation is led by IUCN and partnering with WWF, WCS, TNC and ForumCC.
The rampant degradation of coastal and marine ecosystems, weak land-use systems, poor governance of marine and coastal resources, high dependence on marine resources, and climate change are the most significant problems threatening the long-term productivity of Tanzania’s coastal and marine natural capital. Critical issues include coastal development; mangrove destruction; marine pollution from surface runoff and plastic waste; overfishing, damaging fishing practices and weak resources governance; targeting of juvenile and undersize fish and invertebrates (lobsters, crabs and sea cucumber); an uncoordinated and piecemeal approach to biodiversity and ecosystem-based fisheries management at the local level; poor advocacy skills and limited knowledge on environmental legislation for community conservation efforts; and unsustainable financing of coastal and marine resources.
The Bahari Yetu project’s theory of change is that the stewardship of the marine biodiversity and blue economy will be improved if: 1) science based natural resource management and governance at a landscape and seascape scale is improved; 2) economic benefits from conservation-based enterprises are increased for women and youth; 3) new technologies and approaches for increased climate resilience measures by communities are introduced and adopted; 4) knowledge management and capacity building on marine and coastal resources management (including forests) is improved; and 5) natural resource policy development, institutions, evidence-based research and monitoring and implementation are enhanced.
The project will build on the foundation and opportunities established by current and previous programs and projects, increasing focus on the well-being of rural populations, biodiversity conservation and climate action while retaining blue economy strategy implementation as its core goal. The program rationale rests on the linkage between environment and economic growth and poverty alleviation and the challenge of sustainable management of Tanzania’s biodiversity assets.
The project will align management and conservation of marine and coastal resources and demonstrate that addressing conservation and development objectives simultaneously leads to better decisions and more sustainably managed ecosystems under the Blue Economy
Description of the Assignment
Among the core pillars of the Bahari Yetu project is the protection of marine biodiversity, which employs a multi-dimensional approach to enhancing ecosystem conservation. To achieve this objective, among other initiatives, the project has structured specific interventions to strengthen the capacities of Marine Protected and Conserved Areas (MPAs/MCAs). Specifically, the project has planned to support the development of comprehensive General Management Plans (GMPs) for the Mnazi-Bay Ruvuma Estuary Marine Park (MBREMP). Developing this foundational document is essential because it transforms a set of boundaries on a map into a functional, protected ecosystem for marine conservation, which faces high pressure from both humans and climate change. For this note, IUCN seeks to engage a qualified consultant (individual or firm) to facilitate the review and/or development of GMPs for the above-mentioned MPA
