2Auftragsänderung 1: 81307506-Set-up and management of an Expert Platform for Ukraine's EU alignment in the Rule of Law, with focus on chapters 23 and 24 of the acquis communautaire
The project in the context of which the tender is being held supports Ukraine's EU-alignment in the rule of law and in particular the alignment to the core chapters of the acquis communautaire regarding the fundamentals of the EU Membership compiled in the chapters 23 (Judiciary and Fundamentals) and 24 (Justice, Security and Freedom). To this end, the project aims to provide the necessary expertise and capacity building for relevant key stakeholders in the accession process with focus on the chapters mentioned above. The approach of the project refers to three action areas: "Expertise", "Experience" and "Exchange". The services which are put out to tender belong to the action area "Expertise". An Expert Platform as a flexible and adaptable structure will be established to mobilise the knowledge of EU and Ukrainian renowned legal experts and researchers for the benefit of the Ukrainian key stakeholders responsible for the preparation of an effective EU-alignment and the negotiation process. The subject of the tender represents the core of the Expert Platform: three pools of short-term experts are expected to be established and managed by the contractor. One short-term pool of experts with international experience (STEP) consists of 10-20 international legal short-term experts (350 working days), one STEP of experts with national experience also consists of 10-20 national legal short-term experts (350 working days) and the third STEP includes translators for English-Ukrainian-English (80 working days). As the legal short-term experts shall provide measures for capacity development as well as strategic and legal advice in the following thematic areas of the chapters 23 and 24 with regard to the rule of law, the contractor is committed to identify short-term experts with relevant expertise in anti-corruption, fundamental rights, criminal law and law enforcement with focus on organised crime as well as EU law as such. The experts shall be identified and contracted based on Terms of Reference (ToR) for each expert's assignment which are elaborated by the project with the support of the contractor, following the needs-oriented demand of the Ukrainian partners. The contracting of the appropriate short-term experts is expected to follow a defined number of working days after the submission of the ToR to the contractor. Depending on the concrete support the short-term experts should provide, the contractor is responsible for the creation of tandems, consisting of internationally and nationally experienced short-term experts working together with key stakeholders on defined reform projects incl. strategic documents. The contractor is also monitoring the work results of the expert"s tandems. In addition, the contractor is expected to organize hands-on trainings in different formats to improve the skills of Ukrainian officials, facilitating effective reform implementation with regards to specific topics of chapters 23 and 24. These trainings will be conducted by the short-term experts of the expert pools. Besides the management of the three short term expert pools, it is expected that the contractor facilitates an active exchange and networking among the experts of the STEPs. The information flow among the experts and to the responsible project staff shall be ensured and a smooth cooperation with the project staff as well. Capacity building measures will be organized by the contractor and carried out by the short-term experts of the STEPs. The contractor shall contract a Coordinator of the Expert Platform with responsibility for the overall management of the short-term expert pools (130 working days), supported by an administrative and technical backstopping structure. The Coordinator of the Expert Platform will ensure the smooth cooperation and the fulfilment of all contractual obligations such as monitoring, reporting, etc.10004174 - Engineering support for the development of up to three PtL pilot plants in up to three countries
The International Power-to-X Hub supports the transition to climate-neutral industries and economies by advancing sustainable Power-to-X solutions in sectors where direct electrification is not yet feasible, especially aviation, maritime transport and energy-intensive industries. The project is implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft fuer Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Climate Action, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMUKN). It is financed through the International Climate Initiative as part of Germany"s hydrogen and Power-to-X policy framework. Power-to-X enables the production of fuels and chemical feedstocks from renewable electricity and sustainable carbon or nitrogen sources and therefore helps replace fossil-based inputs while supporting climate protection, industrial transformation and sustainable economic development. The subject of this tender is providing technical support for the development of up to three Power-to-Liquid pilot plants in up to three countries. The assignment provides up to three industrial partner companies with customised engineering documents and advisory services to advance PtL pilot plant projects to FEED/EPC tendering stage. The requested services cover the full project development pathway from concept definition and selection through comparative techno-economic feasibility assessment and conceptual engineering to advice on procurement and tender strategy and, where required, support for the preparation of functional FEED/EPC tender documents. The contract is structured into four work packages in two implementation steps. In Work Packages A and B, the contractor shall review existing concepts and documentation, consult each partner, refine or propose PtL plant concepts, advise on feedstock and utility sourcing, process technologies, offtake markets, regulation and certification, conduct kick-off meetings and site visits, and prepare Concept and Site Analysis Reports with comparative assessments and recommendations. The contractor shall also deliver partner trainings and prepare comparative techno-economic feasibility studies for up to two plant concepts per partner, including a book of assumptions, process simulation, technical descriptions, preliminary process flow diagrams, equipment sizing, interface definitions, certification compliance assessment, CAPEX and OPEX estimates, economic modelling, risk analysis and concept recommendations. Preliminary results shall be discussed with each partner in an interactive workshop to validate assumptions, review trade-offs and support concept selection. Subject to confirmation by the partner and GIZ, Work Package C covers FEL-2 conceptual engineering for the selected concept and a refined Class 4 AACE cost estimate. This includes advisory support on site development, permitting and certification, preparation of an integrated project execution plan, partner trainings on PtL process simulation and plant engineering, and an FEL-2 engineering package comprising Basis of Design specifications, process descriptions, drawings, equipment lists, preliminary equipment specifications, interface and battery limit definitions, input and output specifications, and QA/QC and HSE requirements. The engineering work shall be carried out in close coordination with the partner and GIZ and shall include advice on technology and licensor options as well as updated CAPEX estimates, economic models and key project indicators. Where sustainable CO2 supply is not readily available, the services may also include, for one project, the screening of potential sustainable carbon sources and the design of a CCU system including FEL-1 engineering package and CAPEX assessment. In a subsequent stage, the contractor shall advise on FEED/EPC procurement and tender strategy and, where required, prepare the functional tender specifications, including design basis, technical and performance specifications, scope of supply and services, site and utility information, HSE and QA/QC requirements and project schedule elements in line with the partner"s procurement framework and international standards. The contractor shall also provide advice on commercial and legal terms during tender preparation. For one partner, the services may further include support during the FEED/EPC tendering process, including bidder communication, clarification support, qualification and bid evaluation assistance, preparation of evaluation notes and support during negotiations. Throughout implementation, the contractor shall also provide cross-cutting knowledge exchange, monitoring, reporting, backstopping and coordination services.
