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%. Subject to the requirements in Sections 4 and 7, IUCN will award the contract to the bidder whose Proposal achieves the highest total score. 6.

Analyse and quality-assure plastic waste data collected through national consultants and supplemented by the consultant’s own field research and analysis across ISLANDPLAS project countries. 2. Produce a standalone national report for each of the five ISLANDPLAS project countries (Comoros, Madagascar, Mauritius, Seychelles, and Zanzibar). Each report will serve as a plastic waste profile, providing a comprehensive overview of plastic waste generation, management, and leakage at the national level. The reports must include quantified estimates, sector-specific material flow analysis, and identification of major sources and pathways of plastic pollution 3. Coordinate with in-country consultants and IUCN ESARO to identify and address data gaps. 4. Produce a regional science paper synthesising the national findings, identifying regional trends, data gaps, and strategic recommendations. Background Project Reference: P04772 Donor reference: DR04772.20 About IUCN IUCN is a membership Union uniquely composed of both government and civil society organisations. It provides public, private and non-governmental organisations with the knowledge and tools that enable human progress, economic development and nature conservation to take place together. Created in 1948, IUCN is now the world’s largest and most diverse environmental network, harnessing the knowledge, resources and reach of more than 1,400 Member organisations and around 15,000 experts. It is a leading provider of conservation data, assessments and analysis. Its broad membership enables IUCN to fill the role of incubator and trusted repository of best practices, tools and international standards. IUCN provides a neutral space in which diverse stakeholders including governments, NGOs, scientists, businesses, local communities, indigenous peoples organisations and others can work together to forge and implement solutions to environmental challenges and achieve sustainable development. Working with many partners and supporters, IUCN implements a large and diverse portfolio of conservation projects worldwide. Combining the latest science with the traditional knowledge of local communities, these projects work to reverse habitat loss, restore ecosystems and improve people’s well-being. www.iucn.org https://twitter.com/IUCN/ About the Project The IslandPlas project is an IUCN-led initiative, supported by The Coca-Cola Foundation, that targets seven African Islands, that is, Cabo Verde, Comoros, Madagascar, Mauritius, São Tomé and Príncipe, Seychelles, and Zanzibar. The project, running until end of 2026 envisions African Islands that are free from plastic waste in the environment, and that circular measures are in place to ensure zero plastics to the ocean. The project actions are designed to reduce and prevent plastic waste leakage into the environment through demonstrating effective, quantifiable solutions to addressing plastic leakage. Among others, the project contributes to achieving the objectives prescribed in the Declaration adopted by the Ministerial Conference on the Blue and Circular Economy in the Island States of Africa and the Indian Ocean (September 2023), that advocates for a blue and circular economy, enabled through circular entrepreneurship, skills development, increased investment towards science, research and development, and legal and policy reforms. The project is designed to strengthen national understanding of plastic material flows as well as the footprint of waste and pollution. It aims to integrate and support informal waste sector actors and local communities, while promoting locally appropriate, innovative solutions to reduce plastic pollution. The initiative will also build institutional capacities (particularly at the municipal level and within the informal sector) to catalyse lasting change. Additionally, the project will explore the potential for establishing an inter-regional recycling hub to serve and connect multiple islands across the region. At the regional level, the project aims to achieve three main outcomes: I. Sustainable and improved livelihoods of informal waste sector actors engaged in a circular plastics economy (9,600 beneficiaries); II. Quantifiable regeneration of plastic waste material through circular approaches, including through plastic material recovery (14,000 tons), recycling (5,600 tons) and upcycling; and III. Strengthened sector innovation and enterprise development with new growth opportunities through direct capital investments to locally-appropriate solutions (US $2 million). A core aim of the project is to develop national plastic waste profiles, through undertaking a plastic waste national level quantification and sectorial material flow analysis for each country, in which IslandPlas implements itself, using a standardised data collection approach. These profiles will provide a detailed picture of plastic generation, use, waste management and disposal, and leakage at national level and across key sectors. They are intended to inform national planning, strengthen waste management systems, and support policy and investment decisions. The consultant will support the development of the national waste profile of its respective country by collecting, verifying, and contextualising country-specific data. Description of the Assignment The Regional Consultant will lead the regional data analysis, drafting, and final write-up of five national plastic waste profiles (Comoros, Madagascar, Mauritius, Seychelles, and Zanzibar), and one regional scientific paper. Each country report aims to build on previous national efforts and provide a collaborative, practical tool for policymakers and stakeholders. The consultant will analyse data related to plastic waste management including, but not limited to, waste generation figures, sectoral plastic use, import/export flows, recycling rates, and leakage estimates. While core data will be provided through KoboToolbox submissions and national stakeholder inputs, the consultant will also be expected to proactively search for and verify supplementary data through desk-based research where needed. Using these sources, the Regional Consultant will draft comprehensive national waste profiles (example country report in Annex X) summarising key findings, sectoral trends, and national challenges and opportunities. Each report should feature clear narrative sections, statistics, and supporting figures, graphs, and infographics. Final report design will be supported separately by a design team. Beyond the country profiles, the consultant will also prepare a regional scientific paper drawing from all five datasets. This paper will analyse cross-cutting trends, highlight critical data gaps, and propose strategic actions to strengthen plastic waste management across the African island states. This is a collaborative and dynamic role. Strong engagement, technical rigour, and the ability to work flexibly across diverse teams are essential. This consultancy is open to nationals of countries within the Southern and Eastern Africa region only. Duration of the Assignment A six-month period starting from October 2025.
