II.1.4)Kurze Beschreibung:

The overall objective of this assignment is to submit 6 recommendations
on the implementation of power sector reform in South Africa to the
actors responsible for managing and shaping it. In order to do so,
standing pools of short-term experts (STEs) will be made available to
provide rapidly mobilized energy, methodological and process advice to
achieve reform impacts at national and municipal level. All activities
will be informed by requests from our partners and guided by a steering
group.

The contractor shall provide two pools of experts which can be deployed
flexibly according to the specific requests from the steering group.
Experts assigned to the pools will be required to work supporting on
assignments involving: 1) policy analysis and advice (e.g., the energy
transition and provisions to increase private sector participation); 2)
legal and regulatory advice; 3) the development of potential future
roles and strategies for different stakeholders within the power sector
and 4) transfer of experience, expertise and conceptual know-how (e.g.
on methodological concepts and instruments) to project partners and
beneficiaries. Furthermore, STEs will be requested to contribute to
capacity development of partner institutions and individuals (e.g.,
trainings, workshops, peer-to-peer exchange).

The following indicative focal areas have been identified

Focal Area 1 consists of activities pertaining to the unbundling of the
national utility, Eskom. The contractor"s role may include providing
recommendations on the unbundling from a policy, legal and regulatory
perspective, with specific emphasis on provisions to ensure the
independence of the Transmission entity. Additional support to the
functionalization of the Market Operator and Central Purchasing Agency
function within the Transmission entity.

Focal Area 2 consists of the design of measures to promote private
sector participation in the electricity industry. The contractor"s role
may include recommendations on market design, transition mechanisms and
other mechanisms to increase private sector participation such as net
billing and feed-in tariff schemes.

Focal Area 3 consists of activities pertaining to the distribution
sector. The contractor"s role may include providing recommendations on
the optimal role, structure and business models for an electricity
distributor in a modern liberalized industry. This area will also
incapsulate activities relating to municipal pricing, including the
assessment of municipal cost of supply studies.

Focal Area 4 consists of activities pertaining to support of the
further development of the legal and regulatory frameworks within the
industry. This may include legislation such as the Electricity
Regulation Act (ERA) and Electricity Pricing Policy (EPP) and
regulatory provisions on, for example, the unbundling of tariffs and
the requirements for the provision of non-discriminatory grid access.

The tasks to be carried out by the various experts and Team leader are
anticipated to be 655 expert days for execution of the individual
assignments. A sufficient travel budget will be made available and is
to be considered by the bidders as part of their bid. The contract
period during which the services described are to be provided is from
contract award until 30.11.2024. The number of expert days corresponds
to the working days.

II.2.4)Beschreibung der Beschaffung:

The South African-German Energy Program (SAGEN), funded by the German
government and implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für
Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH in collaboration with the
Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE), Eskom and the South
African Local Government Association (SALGA) is the counterpart to this
project. The overall objective of this assignment is to submit six
recommendations on the implementation of power sector reform in South
Africa to the actors responsible for managing and shaping it. This will
include at least four recommendations on the development of an
effective power market or the unbundling of the national power utility
Eskom and at least two related to the future organization of the
municipal power supply. In order to provide these recommendations,
standing pools of short-term experts (STEs) will be made available by
the contractor to provide rapidly mobilized energy, methodological and
process advice to achieve reform impacts at national and municipal
level. This will be done under a framework contract concluded between
the contractor and GIZ-SAGEN.

All activities under the contract will be informed by requests from our
partners and guided by a steering group. GIZ-SAGEN, in collaboration
with our partners, will provide a standardized request document to the
contractor, at which point the contractor will submit a technical
proposal outlining the content, work structure and personnel concept.
Once the proposal is agreed upon, experts from either of the two pools
(national and international) will be deployed to complete the
individual assignments.

Experts assigned to the pools will be required to work on assignments
involving: 1) policy analysis and advice (e.g., the energy transition
and provisions to increase private sector participation); 2) legal and
regulatory advice; 3) the development of potential future roles and
strategies for different stakeholders within the power sector and 4)
transfer of experience, expertise and conceptual know-how (e.g. on
methodological concepts and instruments) to project partners and
beneficiaries. Furthermore, short term experts will be requested to
contribute to capacity development of partner institutions and
individuals (e.g., trainings, workshops, peer-to-peer exchange).

The following indicative focal areas for individual assignments have
been identified

Focal Area 1 consists of activities pertaining to the unbundling of the
national utility, Eskom. The contractor"s role may include providing
recommendations on the unbundling from a policy, legal and regulatory
perspective, with specific emphasis on provisions to ensure the
independence of the Transmission entity. Additional support to the
functionalization of the Market Operator and Central Purchasing Agency
function within the Transmission entity.

Focal Area 2 consists of the design of measures to promote private
sector participation in the electricity industry. The contractor"s role
may include recommendations on market design, transition mechanisms and
other mechanisms to increase private sector participation such as net
billing and feed-in tariff schemes.

Focal Area 3 consists of activities pertaining to the distribution
sector. The contractor"s role may include providing recommendations on
the optimal role, structure and business models for an electricity
distributor in a modern liberalized industry. This area will also
incapsulate activities relating to municipal pricing, including the
assessment of municipal cost of supply studies.

Focal Area 4 consists of activities pertaining to support of the
further development of the legal and regulatory frameworks within the
industry. This may include legislation such as the Electricity
Regulation Act (ERA) and Electricity Pricing Policy (EPP) and
regulatory provisions on, for example, the unbundling of tariffs and
the requirements for the provision of non-discriminatory grid access.

In addition, a cross cutting focal area of capacity building, knowledge
management and monitoring and evaluation underpins all other focal
areas. The contractor"s role will include contributing technical inputs
to capacity building forums such as workshops, multistakeholder
discussions and peer-to-peer exchanges. In addition, contributing to
the development and implementation of results-based monitoring for GIZ
and its partners may be required.

The maximum number of expert days allocated to this project are 655
expert days for execution of the individual assignments, excluding
possible follow-on measures. The number of expert days corresponds to
the working days. Depending on the requirements of each assignment, the
number of expert days in country of residence and the number of expert
days in country of assignment will be agreed upon on a case-by-case
basis. A sufficient travel budget will be made available and is to be
considered by the bidders as part of their bid.

The contract period during which the services described are to be
provided is from contract award until 30.11.2024. However, there is
also an option for a follow-on phase to this project where it will be
possible to continue and adapt key services under this project.

The maximum quantity and value under this

framework agreement including the optional services is 1.635 expert
days and a value of 150,000.00 EUR.
