2.1 Procedure

Title : 81312672-Expert services on energy efficiency in buildings
Description : The Partnership for Energy Efficiency in Buildings (PEEB, www.peeb.build) is a modular and scalable partnership for accelerating the transition to a zero-emission and resilient built environment. PEEB provides attractive financing solutions for construction and renovation projects with a high climate impact potential, and targeted policy advice and capacity-building to improve the framework conditions for such projects. PEEB Cool provides technical assistance and financial support to 11 countries in hot climates across Africa (Djibouti, Morocco, Nigeria, Tunisia), Asia (Indonesia, Sri Lanka), Eastern Europe (Albania, North Macedonia), and Latin America (Argentina, Costa Rica, Mexico) to fight the negative effects of climate change, improve energy efficiency in buildings, and increase resilience to extreme climate events, economic crises, and energy scarcity. PEEB Cool uses a unique combination of financing and policy approaches to scale up ambitious projects for energy efficiency and resilience and achieve long-lasting sector transformation. PEEB Cool supports the development of large-scale green building projects by providing expert support throughout all stages of the project cycle and financing, including through concessional loans (Investment Facility). PEEB Cool also supports countries in improving strategies and regulations for resilient and efficient buildings through policy advice, eliminating barriers to facilitate investment, capacity building, and awareness raising (Enabling Facility). This tender is for the Enabling Facility (EF) implemented by GIZ. PEEB Cool"s Enabling Facility is implemented by GIZ to foster an enabling framework for low-emission and climate-resilient buildings. The main goal is to improve the strategic, regulatory, and financial conditions for the implementation of large-scale projects for climate mitigation and adaptation in selected partner countries (Outcome). It supports the transformation of the buildings and construction sector towards green buildings through the following services: 1. Sectoral investment frameworks (Output I): Private sector actors are enabled to work towards buildings sector transformation. 2. Policy proposals (Output II): Policy proposals prepare the ground for buildings sector transformation. 3. Capacity-building (Output III): Capacity-building strengthens local actors. 4. Knowledge (Output IV): Programme experience supports the global buildings sector transformation. The services of this consultancy will strongly contribute to Outputs 1 and 2, and partly Output 3; where relevant, the consultancy may also contribute to Output 4 by sharing the experience from implementation in publications or events. In the new phase, GIZ pursues a "facility approach" to respond to the needs in the countries. Activities in the countries will be defined in dialogue between the GIZ staff in country, the partner institutions and AFD, within the framework of the PEEB Cool indicators. To implement these activities technically, the contractor will support with specific expertise on buildings. The contractor will bring in the specific technical expertise to fulfil the activities. The facility approach requires a team of consultants, on the one hand key consultants that will steer the project, design the assignments with the GIZ team, ensure quality and provide technical inputs. Additionally, there will be two pools of experts with specific technical and regional expertise to work on missions with the key consultants. Work will be conducted desk-based working from the home country, and during country missions.

Title : 81312672-Expert services on energy efficiency in buildings
Description : Work Package 1: Design of sectoral investment frameworks (Output I) Sectoral investment frameworks help remove the financial barriers of (a) high perceived risk, lack of market information, and limited experiences with sustainable building design, finance, and implementation. They also help decrease (b) the reluctance of industry actors to adapt their services for the construction and operation of low-carbon, efficient, and resilient buildings. Sectoral investment frameworks further ensure that project stakeholders of projects supported via the Investment Facility and market participants can provide the necessary products and services, while developing future business opportunities. The contractor role involves providing support and expertise towards the development of sectoral investment frameworks for the buildings sector. Due to different starting points in the partner countries, it is essential to establish tailored approaches for the development or implementation of the frameworks, and agree on the scope, schedule, and activities for each framework. The sub-sectors are explained in Chapter 1. The frameworks should address financial and non-financial barriers to public and private sector investment in energy-efficient buildings and work with stakeholders to lower risk and improve returns for investors. Cross-cutting issues such as gender and digitalisation need to be included as part of the advisory services. Work Package 2: Development of policy proposals (Output II) A supportive and incentivising policy framework is needed for green buildings to become a reality. The development of policies enabling and stimulating green buildings to achieve sector transformation is therefore crucial. Output II contributes to removing institutional and regulatory barriers such as the lack of clear policies for building decarbonisation and incomplete or non-existing building codes and lack of knowledge of green buildings. There will be a strong focus on application and enforcement of standards. To ensure long-term impact, these standards and energy efficiency requirements will be developed, or updated, primarily in sectors in which subprojects are financed by the Investment Facility. An increased application rate of standards will be achieved through developing capacities of government actors and developers, adapting and using software tools to facilitate the application of building codes, and linking existing or new building codes with national incentive programmes for sustained uptake. The contractor will provide support and expertise to implement or better enforce sound policies in the sector in PEEB Cool countries and beyond. Due to different starting points in the partner countries, it is essential to establish tailored approaches for the development of the policy proposals, and agree on the scope, schedule, and activities for each policy proposal. This service will be implemented in close coordination with GIZ, as well as other relevant stakeholders. The required services to be agreed in the RfS will support some or all of the following steps: Work Package 3: Capacity building at institutional and individual levels (Output III) For sectoral frameworks (Output I) and policies (Output II) to be implemented sustainably, private and public sector actors must be equipped with the necessary training and skills to ensure long-term success and adaptability. Capacities must be available at the sectoral and national level to help realise or fasten sector transformation and achieve long-term impacts beyond the direct effects of financing subproject interventions. At the country level, the PEEB Cool trainings, specifically targeted at the intersection of finance, business, architecture, engineering, and politics, will increase competences and awareness of sector actors through guidance on how to finance, design, construct, and operate energy-efficient and resilient buildings. Given the diversity of PEEB Cool partner countries, the analysis of training needs must be continuously updated and clustered. This analysis is directly connected to the sectors of intervention of the Investment Facility. Tailored trainings will be developed using internal and external expertise. While the trainings will draw from international leading practices and established standards such as DGNB, HQE, or LEED, they will leave designated room for country-specific adaptations. Examples from PEEB Cool investment subprojects can be included to create practical learning opportunities for the sector. Capacity building is a key component of PEEB Cool (see Chapter 1). While carrying out the activities of work packages 1 and 2, the contractor may identify training needs that have the potential to be replicated and standardised as a training package. Both GIZ and AFD could also propose topics to be considered for the development of a training package. Work Package 4: Knowledge Management and Dissemination (Output IV) From the experience in the implementation of work packages 1, 2 and 3, the contractor and GIZ could identify topics, processes and experiences that could be systematised and developed as a knowledge product and presented at an international event. Work Package 5: Overarching tasks and responsibilities This work package encompasses crucial overarching tasks and responsibilities that lay the foundation for the successful implementation of PEEB Cool. The contractor will be actively involved in contract management, ensuring all aspects of the contract are managed efficiently and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Terms of Reference (ToR).
