Framework Agreement regarding technical assistance in relation to Infrastructure Finance Projects

Description

With this tender procedure, the Contracting Entity, Impact Fund Denmark, represented by the Public Infrastructure Finance (PI) instrument, intends to invite tenders for a Framework Agreement regarding technical assistance in relation to PI Projects. PI is a facility under Impact Fund Denmark, fully funded by Danish development aid, and mandated to invest in essential public services such as clean water, sanitation, and energy in less developed countries, with a particular focus on poor and fragile states across Africa, Asia, and Ukraine. These investments are designed to address key development challenges, including the global infrastructure financing gap, limited public sector capacity, and the non-commercial viability of public infrastructure projects. To deliver on its sharpened impact mandate, PI collaborates closely with a diverse range of stakeholders in Denmark and internationally to identify, develop, and monitor infrastructure projects. For these projects, PI requires multidisciplinary (engineering, environmental, social, climate, institutional, economic, financial and cross-cutting) technical assistance from Economic Operators in spanning the full project lifecycle from early-stage development to implementation and monitoring. The Contracting Entity intends to enter into Framework Agreements with a total of 18 Economic Operators divided evenly into three Lots: Water & Sanitation (Lot 1), Clean Energy (Lot 2), and Cross-Sector Infrastructure & Inclusive Services (Lot 3).
