2.1 Procedure

Title : 81312936-Recrutement d'une structure spécialisée pour la conception et la mise en ?uvre d'une formation qualifiante en soudure
Description : Each year, a large number of young people in Côte d'Ivoire seek access to the job market. However, lacking the right technical/professional skills, they do not find adequate employment and end up in the informal economy or remain unemployed. The project ambitions to mitigate the industrial companies' difficulties in recruiting qualified personnel with the right set of technical skills and professional competencies to meet their immediate employment needs. Moreover, it is important to note that in Côte d'Ivoire, private companies, particularly those in the agri-food sector, still rely heavily on the human factor. Although production lines are mechanized, they are not all automated and therefore require technicians with good basic knowledge of mechanics, welding or industrial electricity to keep production tools running. For this reason, and due to the inadequacy between vocational training and the machines/equipment used by private companies, most private companies are obliged to train their new employees themselves. The GIZ Invest for Jobs program is part of the Special Initiative "Decent Work for a Just Transition", and its main objective is to create good quality jobs and to set up training programs leading to sustainable employment of young people and women. Its primary vocation is to create decent jobs for vulnerable populations in Côte d'Ivoire. Indeed, one of the factors regularly identified by potential investors as a hindrance, or even a barrier, to their development is the lack of qualified human resources for certain professions in the private sector, and in particular in the sectors of industrial mechanics and ICT (information and communications technologies). Invest for Jobs is a Special Initiative program of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), underway in eight African countries including Côte d'Ivoire. As part of the development of its activities in Côte d'Ivoire, GIZ through its programme for the promotion of SMEs and training-employment (INVEST for JOBS) wishes to contribute to the strengthening of the industrial and digital ecosystems as well as structures of technical and vocational training ("TVET") in Côte d'Ivoire. On the other hand, as part of the programming of its support to Côte d'Ivoire for 2021-2027, the European Union (EU) provides funding to implement an innovative system of technical/vocational training focused on the concrete demand of private enterprises in the sectors of industrial mechanics and ICT. Jointly with the European Union, GIZ plans to support the development of a "professional development" program (qualifying vocational training) that would provide Ivorian companies with adequately qualified personnel with skills that correspond to the needs of the labor market in Côte d'Ivoire (the "Project" or "FORPRODE").

Title : 81312936-Recrutement d'une structure spécialisée pour la conception et la mise en ?uvre d'une formation qualifiante en soudure
Description : To meet the demand of the private sector for professional skills and to satisfy the expectations of industrial companies regarding the technical/professional quality of the young people trained, the Project aims at an improved adequacy between the specific demand expressed by the private sector and the training offered by setting up a system of professional development in close cooperation with the private sector. The main objective of this contract is to set up technical and vocational education and training (TVET) in welding for young people, and particularly women, and to integrate them into decent, sustainable jobs. In all, the aim is to train 75 young people in the welding sector in Côte d'Ivoire, with a particular emphasis on training and employment for women. The project is targeted primarily at young people and women (aged 18-35). The aim is to offer practical, short-term training courses, enabling young people and women to become rapidly operational and productive. The welding training period envisaged is a maximum of 03 (three) months, with a ratio of 20-30% theory and 70-80% practice, in three (03) cohorts/cycles spread over a total period of fifteen (15) months. Each cohort will comprise around 25 people, with the aim of training 75 people in one (01) training center. The choice of training center is currently being finalized, and will be located in the region of Abidjan. The training courses should enable beneficiaries to acquire basic technical knowledge of the trade, as well as preparing them to enter job market. The expected results of the tendered contract comprise the following results: 1. The design of a standard training path and relevant content for welders. 2. The training of trainers in sufficient numbers, i.e. around 04 people in the center to be identified by GIZ, to be able to deliver the proposed training courses for 75 people. 3. The implementation of a rigorous and modern selection system in line with the profiles sought by industrial companies. 4. The follow-up on the implementation of the training, monitoring, and advising the FORPRODE team and its implementing partners for fifteen (15) months. To this end, the contractor will deploy a team of highly experienced experts and trainers, including a team leader, a welding training specialist, and a welding expert. The contractor will work in close collaboration with GIZ in support of implementing modern and innovative training approaches, developing the technical and professional capacities of young people and women, and strengthening the welding sector in Côte d'Ivoire.
