The Anguilla Community College, the Executing Agency, now wishes to procure Project Engineering Consulting services and invites interested eligible consulting individuals to submit Expressions of Interest for the provision of these consultancy services.

Consultants shall be eligible (countries that are member countries of CDB) to participate if:

(a)         the persons are citizens or bona fide residents of an eligible country; and

(b)        in all cases, the consultant has no arrangement and undertakes not to make any arrangements, whereby any substantial part of the net profits or other tangible benefits of the contract will accrue or be paid to a person not a citizen or bona fide resident of an eligible country.

The duration of the assignment is expected to be for a period of 24 months.

In the assessment of submissions, considerations will be given to technical competence, qualifications, local and regional experience on similar assignments, financial capability and existing commitments.  All information must be submitted in English.  Further information may be obtained from the first address below between 9:00 am and 4:30 pm Monday to Friday.
