The consultants will be supporting CBM on the items listed above throughout the

As will be mentioned in the following procurement batches and methodologies
section, the management consultants will be appointed by CBM based on JICA
recommendations. This is the standard procedure for JICA Grant Aid. A contract
between CBM and the management consultants will be concluded by means of the
standard contract format offered by JICA.
JICA expects CBM to appoint and hire the management consultants just after G/A
and E/N so that the procurement and detailed design procedures can be started in
an efficient manner. The consultants, on the other hand, are expected to start
negotiating the contract with CBM soon after the conclusion of the Grant Agreement.
