Malawi - Competition and Fair Trading Commission Technical Assistance

Millenium Challenge Account Malawi has received financing from the Millennium Challenge Corporation toward the cost of the Accelerated Growth Corridors (AGC) Project and intends to apply part of the proceeds toward payments under the contract for Selection of an Individual Consultant for Competition and Fair Trading Commission Technical Assistance.

MCC’s funding is appropriated by the U.S. Congress and obligated to the compact up-front, with no incremental or partial funding. So when a contract is signed with an Accountable Entity, money is already available to the Accountable Entity and, for most contracts, invoices are paid directly to Offerors by the US Treasury. AE-Malawi now invites applications from eligible offerors for Competition and Fair Trading Commission Technical Assistance

Bidding will be conducted through the Selection of Individual Consultants procedures as specified in the MCC Procurement and Policy Guidelines (PPG) and is open to all eligible offerors as defined in the PPG.

A complete set of Request for Application (RFA) documents, including any clarifications, notices, and/or addenda, can be obtained by interested and eligible consultants. To access the documents, Interested Consultants have two options:

• Dropbox: Directly access the RFO documents using the following link: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/lq8az3f83txojh85ksnlj/AE4kyDu8ljdSRG5Wceh-GLs?rlkey=u7ho9a9r1adxiid9m0ghxw3st&st=dalrmj2h&dl=0 (To access the document, please copy the link above and paste it in your browser)
